Licensed Paralegal & Authorized Family Law Service Provider in Toronto

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 Toronto and Greater Toronto Area. 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.

Legal Services Available to Toronto Residents

Assured Legal Services offers a full range of paralegal services to clients in Toronto. All services are available through in-person appointments at our Guelph office or via virtual consultation.

Navigating family law is never easy. Novelette brings a calm, compassionate approach to every file, helping you understand your options and move forward with confidence.

Contractor and renovation disputes

Small Claims Court can be intimidating if you’ve never been before. Novelette will prepare your documents, explain the process, and stand with you in court — so you’re never facing it alone.

Traffic Tickets & Provincial Offences

A traffic conviction in Toronto can mean demerit points, skyrocketing insurance premiums, and in serious cases, a licence suspension. Before you pay that ticket, speak with Novelette.

Speeding tickets (including Gardiner Expressway, DVP (Don Valley Parkway), Highway 401, and Highway 400)
Careless driving charges
Stunt driving and racing allegations
Distracted driving (handheld device) charges
Red light camera tickets
Provincial Offences Act matters

Many tickets can be reduced or dismissed entirely. A free consultation with Novelette costs you nothing — but doing nothing could cost you significantly more.

Landlord & Tenant Board (LTB) Representation

Whether you’re a landlord trying to protect your property or a tenant defending your rights, Landlord and Tenant Board proceedings can be complex and high-stakes. Novelette provides skilled representation for Toronto clients at the LTB.

Eviction applications — N4 (non-payment), N5 (interference), N12 (personal use)
Tenant applications for maintenance and repairs
Rent arrears hearings
Unlawful entry and harassment disputes
Above-guideline rent increase challenges
Illegal lockout and eviction disputes

The LTB process has strict deadlines and specific forms. Novelette ensures everything is filed correctly and on time, giving your case the best possible chance.

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.
