DIY Legal Services
Did you know that 50% of Nova Scotians self-represent in family court?
With DIY Legal Services you can have confidence in representing yourself. You’ll have the benefit of our senior legal counsel’s advice, at half the price.
There is a lack of access to legal services because traditional legal services are expensive. Teryl Scott’s Do-It-Yourself model is proud to provide access to legal services for more than just the rich.

What Legal Coaching Does Not Include
Legal coaching is meant to help those who can’t afford to hire a lawyer, or for those who want to self-represent. Our lawyers are pleased to provide our expertise as a legal coach. However it’s important to know what steps you’ll be responsible to execute. Your lawyer will not be talking to the courts, lawyers, or other parties. We will not represent you in court, trials, or during discoveries.
If you would like these traditional services to be included, we are happy to provide you with legal counsel for $300/hr.
