With this said, Askew Paralegal Services also recognizes that impartial empathy is often necessary to remain focused upon the legal issues and to remain an objective advisor and negotiator. Askew Paralegal Services helps tenants to resolve disputes by first reviewing the facts and issues and then by working to negotiate a resolution with the landlord. If resolution is evasive, Askew Paralegal Services can prepare the required Landlord Tenant Board forms and advocate at Landlord Tenant Board hearings.
