( lso-licensed paralegal — ontario / service en français )
Your landlord, your ticket, your unpaid invoice. A licensed paralegal takes it from here, in English or French, at a price you hear before you say yes.
( 01 ) — the point
Nobody plans to need us. But here you are: the deposit’s gone, the ticket’s real, the invoice is six months cold. The law can fix all three. Someone just priced it at $400 an hour. We’re the other door.
( 02 ) — who’s in your corner
I’m Ashfaaq Kazi — the principal of Structure, and a paralegal licensed by the Law Society of Ontario. When you retain this firm, I’m the person who takes your file. Not a call centre, not a rotating desk. One licensed paralegal, accountable to you and to my regulator.
Here’s what that accountability is built on. Before Structure, I spent seven years inside McKesson Canada — reimbursement case management, then project and product leadership — where the work was reading dense rules, building the argument, and getting institutions to say yes. I fought coverage denials and prior-authorization battles on behalf of patients, and I led privacy and compliance across six pharmacy platforms under PIPEDA, PHIPA, and Quebec’s Law 25. Winning arguments against large, rule-bound counterparties wasn’t occasional. It was the job.
A landlord-tenant hearing, a small-claims dispute, a ticket that threatens your licence — these are the same shape. Dense rules, a deadline, an institution on the other side, and someone who needs the case built properly. That’s the work I’ve done for a decade, now pointed at yours.
I approach a file the way I was trained to approach a system — map it before I move on it. My background is in physics and mathematics, and I’m now an engineering student in cybersecurity; I don’t improvise your defence, I engineer it. And discretion isn’t a line I promise you — it’s a discipline I’ve practised professionally for years as the person responsible for protecting people’s most sensitive information. Your matter is handled with exactly that care, in English or in French, whichever you’d rather defend yourself in.
The everyday legal fights — an eviction notice, money you’re owed, a charge that follows you around — deserve someone who treats them with the seriousness usually reserved for people who can afford a large firm. That’s the entire reason Structure exists. You get the rigor without the retainer.

( 03 ) — the method
The same four moves, on every file, in the same order. You’ll never have to call and ask what’s happening. You’ll already know.
Twenty minutes, free, in either language. You hang up knowing if you have a case and what we’d charge to run it. If the honest answer is “let this one go,” that’s the answer you get.
You forward us the mess: screenshots, receipts, the texts you almost deleted. It comes back as a case. Filed, served, on time.
A licensed paralegal stands up and argues it, at the LTB, Small Claims Court, or traffic court. You join by video from wherever you are. The room is our problem.
The outcome arrives in writing, in plain words: what you got, what it means, what to do with it. Then we get out of your life.
( 04 ) — the work
One flat fee, quoted before you commit. The meter is for taxis. Open a row.
The deposit, the mould, the N12 that smells like bad faith. Tenants and small landlords, both sides of the door.
Flat fee for most matters. You hear the number before we lift a finger.
