Could anyone recommend a small claim court lawyer in Ottawa?

Who can represent me in the small claim court. My cabinet contractor delayed the renovation by 2 months, and I may have to take some legal action.

Or if anyone know where to look for an experienced lawyer, that will be appreciated.

    @Michael Stole

    Small Claims court is setup to accommodate self-representation, but in my experience it rarely gets that far.

    If you have all your facts and proof together, then you can file yourself for about $100. Filing, and the subsequent serving on the other party, often gets things moving.

    The dollar amounts handled in small claims court are small enough {cut off in NB is 12K}, that it is typically impractical to engage council. However, if your case is complicated, or your time short, find yourself a lawyer who practices business/contract law who can assist you.

    That's helpful info, Roy. I never have thought that I had to use someone to get issue addressed.
