Website Disclaimer

This disclaimer applies to the website operated by Miguel | Silverstein Paralegal LLP, including all pages, blog posts, FAQs, videos, intake prompts, booking pages, contact forms, chatbot responses, downloadable materials, and links from this website.

General information only

The information on this website is provided for general informational purposes only. It is intended to help visitors understand common Ontario legal processes in plain language. It is not legal advice, should not be relied on as legal advice, and may not apply to your specific facts, deadlines, documents, evidence, procedural stage, or legal objectives.

Legal rights and obligations often depend on details that are not visible from a short website description. You should speak directly with a licensed legal professional before making decisions about a legal matter.

No paralegal-client relationship

Visiting this website, reading information on this website, using the site assistant, submitting a form, sending an email, sending a WhatsApp message, calling the office, or booking a consultation does not by itself create a paralegal-client relationship or a retainer.

A paralegal-client relationship is only created when Miguel | Silverstein Paralegal LLP agrees to act for you and both sides complete the required intake, conflict-check, scope, fee, and retainer steps. Until that happens, you should not assume that we act for you, that we have accepted responsibility for your matter, or that we will take any step on your behalf.

Do not send sensitive details too early

Please do not send highly sensitive, confidential, privileged, or time-critical legal details through this website, the chatbot, contact forms, booking notes, email, or WhatsApp before the office confirms the appropriate way to receive that information. Initial contact tools are intended for basic intake and scheduling information, not full legal instructions.

If you have an urgent deadline, hearing date, limitation period, eviction date, court date, tribunal deadline, or filing deadline, contact the office directly and seek legal advice immediately. The website and chatbot cannot calculate, confirm, extend, pause, or protect legal deadlines.

Confidentiality and privacy

Once a paralegal-client relationship exists, information received in that professional relationship is handled in accordance with applicable confidentiality duties, privacy obligations, and the Law Society of Ontario's Paralegal Rules of Conduct.

Before a retainer is confirmed, communications may still require care, but website forms, email, text messaging, and WhatsApp are not guaranteed to be secure or appropriate for sensitive legal information. WhatsApp is a third-party messaging service and messages sent through it may be subject to WhatsApp's own terms, privacy practices, data handling, and technical systems.

Authorized scope of paralegal services

The legal services offered through Miguel | Silverstein Paralegal LLP are provided within the authorized scope of practice for licensed paralegals in Ontario. That scope can include certain matters before tribunals and courts such as the Landlord and Tenant Board, Small Claims Court, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, provincial offences matters, and other proceedings where licensed paralegals are permitted to provide legal services.

Not every legal problem can be handled by a paralegal. Some matters require a lawyer or another professional. If your matter falls outside our permitted scope, involves a conflict of interest, requires services we do not provide, or is not suitable for our office, we may decline to act or suggest that you seek assistance elsewhere.

Law Society of Ontario regulation

Ontario lawyers and licensed paralegals are regulated by the Law Society of Ontario. You can verify licence status through the Law Society of Ontario Lawyer and Paralegal Directory at lsodirectory.lso.ca.

Law Society licence number: P20721.

No guarantee of outcome

Nothing on this website is a guarantee, promise, prediction, warranty, or assurance of a particular result. Past experience, general process descriptions, testimonials, examples, or statements about services do not guarantee that any future matter will have the same or similar outcome.

Legal outcomes depend on the facts, evidence, applicable law, procedural rules, conduct of the parties, decision-maker, deadlines, available remedies, and many other factors.

Accuracy and currency of information

We make reasonable efforts to keep website information accurate and current, but laws, regulations, court rules, tribunal procedures, filing systems, monetary limits, forms, fees, and timelines can change without notice. Website content may become outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate despite those efforts.

Do not rely on this website as a complete statement of the law or procedure. Current information should be confirmed during a consultation or through official court, tribunal, government, or Law Society sources.

Fees, consultations, and retainers

Any fee information on this website is general unless confirmed in writing by the office. Consultation availability, consultation length, service fees, flat-fee options, hourly rates, disbursements, taxes, payment terms, and retainer requirements may depend on the type of matter, urgency, complexity, documents, and work required.

No legal work is performed for you unless and until the office confirms the scope of work, completes required checks, and a retainer arrangement is accepted. You will not be charged for legal work that has not been authorized in accordance with the applicable fee arrangement.

Chatbot and automated tools

The in-house chatbot and any automated intake features are designed to provide general orientation, collect basic information, and help visitors find the right page or contact option. They do not provide legal advice, do not replace a consultation, do not create a paralegal-client relationship, and should not be used for urgent legal instructions.

Automated responses may be incomplete or may not account for facts that change the legal analysis. A licensed professional must review your specific circumstances before advice can be provided.

Third-party links and platforms

This website may link to third-party websites or platforms, including GOTACASE.CA, WhatsApp, Google, court websites, tribunal websites, payment tools, booking systems, video platforms, or other external resources. Those services are not controlled by this website unless expressly stated.

External links are provided for convenience and general orientation only. We are not responsible for the accuracy, availability, privacy practices, security, terms, content, or operation of third-party websites or services.

Testimonials and reviews

Reviews or testimonials, if displayed, reflect the experience or opinion of the person who provided them. They do not guarantee a similar result, do not predict the outcome of your matter, and may not reflect all client experiences.

Jurisdiction and service area

This website is intended for people seeking information about legal services in Ontario, Canada. Miguel | Silverstein Paralegal LLP serves Ontario within the scope of services the office is authorized and able to provide. We do not claim to provide legal services in jurisdictions where we are not authorized to do so.
