_{What is the difference between a paralegal and a lawyer?}

_{A licensed paralegal is regulated by the Law Society of Ontario and is authorized to provide legal services in specific areas — including Small Claims Court, employment law, and Human Rights Tribunal matters. Paralegals offer the same procedural expertise as a lawyer in those areas, typically at a lower cost. Jolanta Chrzaszcz (LSO# P20100) is fully licensed and accountable to the Law Society of Ontario.}

_{Can a paralegal help me respond to a Human Rights complaint filed against me?}

_{Yes. If a Human Rights application has been filed against you or your business, JC Paralegal Services can prepare your Response, manage the disclosure process, draft legal submissions, and represent you at mediation or hearing before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario or the Alberta Human Rights Commission. Early preparation is critical — contact us as soon as you receive notice of a complaint.}

How can I book a consultation?

You can reach Jolanta Chrzaszcz by phone, text, or email — including evenings and weekends. Call our office to speak with a licensed paralegal about your matter. There is no runaround — you speak with Jolanta directly from the first contact.

Do you offer services for employment-related matters?

Yes. JC Paralegal Services assists employees and employers across Alberta and Ontario with wrongful dismissal claims, unpaid wages, Employment Standards Act disputes, workplace harassment matters, and termination package reviews. We assess your situation, advise on your rights, and represent you at tribunal or in negotiations.

Can I get help with Human Rights Tribunal matters?

Yes. We provide representation and response services for Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) applications involving discrimination, harassment, and accommodation disputes based on protected grounds under the Human Rights Code. We also assist clients before the Alberta Human Rights Commission. We prepare your full submission, manage disclosure, and represent you through the hearing process.

_{Can a paralegal represent me in court in Alberta?}

_{In Alberta, paralegals are not regulated in the same way as in Ontario, but they can provide document preparation, legal coaching, and support services for self-represented litigants in Civil Division Court matters. JC Paralegal Services assists Alberta clients with court documents, demand letters, affidavits, and pre-litigation strategy to ensure you are fully prepared.}

_{What happens if I lose my Small Claims Court case?}

_{If you are unsuccessful at trial, you may have the right to appeal the decision. You may also be responsible for the other party’s costs in certain circumstances. JC Paralegal Services advises clients on their options at every stage — including before filing, at trial, and after a decision is made. Proper preparation significantly reduces the risk of an unfavourable outcome}.
