What can I expect when working with Six Points Legal Solutions? This gives you room to explain limited-scope service, clear fees, communication, and that clients remain involved in decisions.
Can you represent me at an ORT hearing? Yes. Where the matter falls within the scope of services permitted under my Limited Licence issued by the Law Society of Saskatchewan, representation may be available for proceedings before the Office of Residential Tenancies (ORT). Representation is determined after an initial consultation and review of the matter.
What should I bring to my first consultation? Please bring any documents related to your matter, such as your tenancy agreement, notices, ORT documents, inspection reports, photographs, relevant emails or text messages, payment records, and a brief timeline of events. Don't worry if you don't have everything—we can identify what else may be needed during the consultation.
How much do your services cost? Fees depend on the type and complexity of the service required. Six Points Legal Solutions offers both flat-fee and hourly services. After an initial consultation, you will receive information about the anticipated scope of work and applicable fees before additional services are undertaken.
Do you offer consultations before I decide to proceed? Yes. An initial consultation provides an opportunity to discuss your situation, review the issues involved, and determine what services may be appropriate. A consultation does not obligate you to retain Six Points Legal Solutions for further services.
