Licensed Paralegal & Authorized Family Law Service Provider in Cambridge

When you’re dealing with a legal matter, the last thing you need is to feel overwhelmed or priced out of the help you deserve. At Assured Legal Services, licensed paralegal Novelette Graham provides trusted, professional, and affordable legal representation to individuals and families across Cambridge and Waterloo Region. Whether you’re navigating a family law matter, fighting a traffic ticket, dealing with a landlord-tenant dispute, or pursuing a claim in Small Claims Court, Novelette is here to guide you — with warmth, clarity, and the expertise of a Law Society of Ontario licensed professional.

What Is a Licensed Paralegal — and Why Does It Matter?

Not all legal help requires hiring a lawyer. In Ontario, licensed paralegals are regulated by the Law Society of Ontario (LSO) and are fully authorized to represent clients in specific areas of law — often at a fraction of the cost of a lawyer. Novelette Graham holds LSO licence #P095688 and is also an Authorized Family Legal Services Provider (FLSP) — a specialized designation that allows her to represent clients in Ontario family court proceedings that fall within a paralegal’s scope. This means you get qualified, regulated representation without the high cost of a full-service law firm.

Do I Need a Lawyer or a Paralegal?

This is one of the most common questions people have — and the honest answer is: it depends on your situation. In many cases, a licensed paralegal can handle your matter just as effectively as a lawyer, at a much lower cost.

A licensed paralegal like Novelette can represent you in:

Small Claims Court (claims up to $35,000)
Ontario Court of Justice — provincial offences and traffic matters
Landlord and Tenant Board
Certain family court proceedings (as an Authorized FLSP)

If your matter falls outside paralegal scope — such as a criminal trial, real estate transaction, or complex divorce — Novelette will tell you honestly and, where possible, help connect you with an appropriate referral.
