The LTB Hiring Kit: Paralegal, Lawyer, or Neither — the Seat-Mapper, the Four Questions, and the Honest Money
At the LTB, both licences carry the same regulator, insurance, and right to appear — so the hiring decision is scope, depth, and fee structure, never prestige. This free kit maps your file to the right seat, gives you the licence check and the four questions to ask before retaining anyone, and runs the honest money: market ranges, the what's-included trap, and the $700-vs-15% recovery math.

What's Inside
All 5 steps
- Start free: duty counsel, 73 clinics, the LSHC, and the LSRS 30-minute consult may answer the hire question for $0
- Map your seat: clean file = self-rep, contested-in-scope = paralegal, Divisional Court or overlap = lawyer
- Step zero before any retainer: verify the licence in the LSO Directory — status, limits, regulatory history
- Ask the four questions — and make "what's included if it's adjourned?" non-negotiable
- Do the forum math: $700 capped at the Board vs up to 15% of the claim in Small Claims
