Active Professionals

Paralegal Services

Paralegals in Alberta work in a legal capacity acting as agents and representing the best interest of their clients in various judicial matters.

They provide their clients with a comparable and more economical service compared to using a lawyer.

Paralegals charge a fraction of lawyer’s fees, which can be a great advantage to those who require legal assistance but are unable to afford the high rates of most lawyers.

Paralegals are permitted to practice in Provincial Offences Court, Small Claims Court, Landlord and Tenant Tribunals and many other tribunals and hearings. In addition, Paralegals can assist with completing any applications and to prepare simple documentation. Although individuals and small businesses may be self-represented in many legal matters, representation by an experienced and licenced paralegal may result in a more competent, successful and less stressful experience.

What “Active Professionals” Can Do For You?

Active Professionals can act on your behalf by representing you as a legal agent or advocate in a variety of services. Our goal is to partner with you to achieve the best possible outcome in any legal matter where we represent or assist you.

Active Professionals’ paralegal services can accommodate your needs with knowledgeable and professional representation at a fraction of the price of a lawyer. Please read the recent article from “The Global and Mail” Lawyers are too expensive for most Canadians, give more work to paralegals!
