Many people earn too much to qualify for Legal Aid, but not enough to spend tens of thousands of dollars on legal bills. The goal of The Law Portal is to assist the majority of people who need assistance accessing top-rate and affordable legal representation.
Lawyers across British Columbia work with The Law Portal to provide exceptional representation at discounted hourly rates. When you retain a lawyer in your area through The Law Portal, your local lawyer will offer a minimum discount of 15%. When you retain a lawyer that does not live in your area, your remote lawyer’s hourly rate will be discounted by at least 25%. Additional discounts may apply if you are referred through a referral program.
The Law Portal is able to offer these discounts because we don’t have high overhead costs for office space. We have access pay-per-use office space and boardrooms for meetings and mediation, when needed.
If you retain a remote lawyer and an in-person meeting or court appearance is later required, your lawyer may recommend one of the following options:
- your remote lawyer may travel for the appearance,
- one a local lawyer in your area might join your legal team to attend your in-person meetings and/or court appearances, or
- your remote lawyer might guide and coach you so that you can attend the appearance yourself.
Our clients are typically going through a painful divorce or separation, and almost all are stressed out and overwhelmed by the legal process. We promptly respond to our clients, and we’re often available during evenings and weekends, if necessary. We care about our clients and our clients consistently tell us that they appreciate how supportive we are.
Our clients also have the option of using their free and secure client portal, where they can send and receive messages with their legal teams, upload or download documents, view their calendars, pay their bills via credit card, and access additional resources provided to them by their legal teams.
In summary, The Law Portal might be a good fit for you if you want to:
- save thousands of dollars in legal fees;
- meet with your lawyer over Zoom, Facetime, or telephone from the comfort and convenience of your own home;
- have the ability to text message and/or Whatsapp your lawyer during and after business hours;
- retain a lawyer who is compassionate, supportive, skilled, experienced, and has excellent reviews from former clients; and
- have access to a free client portal that you can use to message your legal team, upload or download documents, view your calendar, pay your bills via credit card, and access additional resources provided to you by your legal team.
