Update:

Please see the most recent update concerning court closures. Kindly note that if your matter is affected by this announcement a DLPC staff member will contact you in the coming days to discuss.

We thank our clients for their continued patience in this evolving situation.

I would also like to take this opportunity to do the following:

1. Thank all the frontline court and judicial workers for their continued work. When people think of essential services they don’t automatically think of legal services. However, this crisis and the need for the administration of justice to proceed should give people pause for thought on this issue;

2. I encourage people who have legal issues to continue to contact law offices and seek legal advice. Fortunately this can be done through various means of technology. The message I have been giving potential clients, clients and staff is that now is a great time to deal with your legal matters as lawyers and staff are in their offices or working remotely without the necessity of numerous court appearances;

3. I would caution people not to put off their legal needs because once Court services return to normal operations there will naturally be a delay and an influx of matters. As it stands new matters can be issued and as always negotiations can occur: and

4. It is my hope that we come together as a community and assist one another. Shop local. Help your neighbour. Be mindful of good hygiene etc.
