We Do It Differently
At Teryl Scott Lawyers Inc., we believe access to justice should not be limited by cost. That’s why we are expanding our legal coaching model to offer civil litigation guidance — giving you the support to represent yourself confidently while controlling legal costs.
- No retainer required. We offer a “pay-as-you-go” approach for civil litigation guidance, just like with our other coaching services.
- Flexible scheduling that works with your life: meet with our litigation-experienced counsellors via phone and video, or in person if needed.
- Strategic advice from seasoned trial and negotiation counsel — without the expense of full representation.
Book a session today to discuss your civil matter and decide the best path forward.

Our Services In Civil Litigation
If you are navigating a civil dispute and would prefer to represent yourself — or simply want expert guidance — our civil litigation coaching gives you:
- Case assessment & strategy advice — Understand the strengths and risks of your claim, and plan your next steps.
- Document drafting and review — Draft or review court documents (e.g., pleadings, affidavits, motions, demand letters) and receive advice on structure, language, and strategy.
- Court procedure guidance — Get help with timelines, filing deadlines, rules of civil procedure, and court practices in Nova Scotia.
- Preparation for hearings/trials — Receive coaching on witness preparation, evidence presentation, oral argument strategy, and courtroom etiquette.
- Negotiation support — Guidance on settlement strategy, negotiation tactics, and drafting settlement offers or counter-offers.
As with all our legal-coaching services, we provide strategic, solicitor-client, confidential advice — but do not act as your representative in court or speak on your behalf. This allows you maximum control over your case and legal expenses.
