Simon's Legal Resources

Online Litigation Assessments (Ontario)

A litigation assessment is Simon's investigation, assessment and detailed explanation of the merits and weaknesses of your litigation case. It is written specifically to inform self-represented persons of the legal issues they need to be aware of in order to self-manage their case. It is an always necessary step before you decide to commence or defend formal legal proceedings, and it is a natural precursor service to Simon's litigation support service.

Proceeding without a litigation assessment is a lot like starting to build a house without a blueprint; it might look like you are saving money at first but you'll soon find out why you needed it.

Simon's litigation assessment service includes:

• detailed discussion and document review to determine the key factual, legal and procedural issues of your case
  
• identification of available evidence for and against your case
  
• identification of available legal remedies
  
• identification of any impending limitation period issues
  
• explanation of any major expenses involved in pursuing the matter, such as expert report fees, court fees, etc
  
• Simon's detailed written opinion on the merits of your case
  
• reasonable follow-up discussion with Simon to make sure you understand it all.
