If You Need Help with an Appeal,

You Have Come to the Right Place

Whether you need to bring an appeal or someone has brought an appeal and you need to respond, we have you covered. Our lawyers regularly appear in Divisional Court (where Small Claims Court appeals are heard) and have the experience to protect your interests in court. To schedule a simple and easy consultation with a Small Claims Court appeal lawyer, call us right now at (437) 222-2234.

What can you expect during your consultation? Well, our lawyers are some of the most sought after legal talent in Ontario, so we have to start every consultation with a conflict check. We need to make sure that your adversary hasn’t already reached out to us.

Once we’ve run the conflict check, we’ll listen intently to your story, answer all of your questions, and then give you strategic legal advice tailored to your specific situation. We will treat you the same way we would treat our families if they got in legal trouble: with straightforward, no-nonsense advice given in the simplest terms possible. Call us right now for your consultation at (437) 222-2234.

Small Claims Court Appeal FAQ

Yes, you have a right to appeal the decision, provided that the amount of the judgment is at least $3,500.00. For example, if a deputy judge of the Small Claims Court ordered damages of $5,000.00, you would be able to appeal that decision in the Divisional Court.

If, on the other hand, the deputy judge only awarded $2,000.00 in damages (less than $3,500.00), then you will not be able to appeal your case.

A common mistake is waiting too long to file your appeal. You only have 30 days to serve your Notice of Appeal on the other side. After that, the only way to bring your appeal is for the other side to consent to your late filing (unlikely!) or to bring a motion asking the court to allow you to file your appeal late. Our firm has successfully brought motions allowing our clients to file their appeals late. For more information, call us today at (437) 222-2234.

Unless you are incorporated, there is no formal requirement to have a lawyer represent you in your appeal. Unfortunately, though, the appeal process is not nearly as streamlined or user-friendly as the Small Claims Court and most people need a lawyer to guide them through the process. This may involve behind the scenes work or full representation from start to finish. To speak with an experienced appeal lawyer to discuss your options, call us today at (437) 222-2234.

We hired Powell Litigation to help us with a condo dispute. Weston was absolutely fantastic. He is extremely knowledgeable, eager, and trustworthy.

We recommend Powell Litigation in the strongest possible terms and will trust him with our business going forward!

Small Claims Court Appeal Lawyer:

At Last A Law Firm With the Expertise You Need

At a Price You Can Afford

 

Do you want to know a secret about why large law firms in Toronto are so outrageously expensive? Well, for starters, they have massive overhead. Their offices are in the financial district which has the highest commercial rents in the entire province. Do you benefit at all from them having those really nice offices? Nope. Not at all. Lawyers argue their cases at court, not at their offices, so it doesn’t matter whether their offices are in overpriced steel and glass towers downtown or in a nice professional building in North York like us.

We are a young legal team, yet we have more courtroom experience than most lawyers who have been practising for decades. At the end of the day, what matters is the experience and skill that your lawyer brings to the table. What you really need is a lawyer who is as comfortable in the courtroom as they are in their own living room. The only way to get that level of comfort is by going to court. A lot. And that is exactly what you can expect from your small claims court appeal lawyer at Powell Litigation.

You’ll be shocked by this. At a recent trial, I was facing off against a lawyer who has literally been practising law since I was born. He did a fine job (although we ended up winning the trial and getting $170,117.84 for our client. You can read the decision here). What was shocking was that this lawyer confided in me that, after decades of practising law, this was his very first trial! Can you imagine that?

To get a lawyer with the courtroom experience you need to win your case, call us today at (437) 222-2234.

 

What Our Clients Say:

I contacted Powell Litigation for some legal assistance concerning my business and immediately felt very comfortable and knew I was in the right place.

Mr. Powell’s communication and responsiveness were beyond my expectations throughout the process; he was clear, intelligent and honest with a real understanding of my concerns. He was always accessible, listened intently and answered all my questions directly, offering both highly professional advice and recommendations.

When my case went to court, is when I saw Mr. Powell’s true skill and brilliance at work.

He handled the proceedings with the highest degree of professionalism, achieving an outcome in my favor and a monetary result higher than I could have ever expected.

Mr. Powell’s passion for his work is definitely clear. He is knowledgeable, efficient and extremely attentive to detail which makes him very pleasant to work with. Weston Was instrumental in winning my case and I am extremely fortunate to have found him. I would without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend working with him to my friends and colleagues, knowing they would be in strong capable hands with an attorney who truly cares.

Thank you does not seem like enough for what Weston did for me.
