## Resource

A Calgary woman claims she was cheated out of a $13,000 settlement after hiring an unregulated paralegal in Alberta, where no licensing or oversight exists — leaving her and seven others with no recourse but police or court. The paralegal, who boasted experience and board involvement, admitted anyone can call themselves a paralegal here, calling himself a “cowboy” court agent. Investigations are underway, exposing a dangerous gap in consumer protection across Canada. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
