Civil Law
NDB Avocats inc. provides legal services in civil law, helping individuals, merchants, and entrepreneurs assert their rights.
Whether you are seeking a civil lawyer for a demand letter, a hidden defect claim, an unpaid invoice, a matter before the Small Claims Court, or a defamation issue, we advise and represent you at every step of the process.
Formal Notice
A formal notice is an essential preliminary step in most legal disputes before initiating court proceedings. It informs the opposing party of your position and rights, states your expectations and the deadline for response, and demonstrates that legal action will follow if the matter is not resolved.
As a powerful tool, a well-drafted formal notice letter prepared by a civil lawyer often paves the way for negotiation or an amicable settlement.
Are you dealing with a situation that concerns you? Contact us to determine whether a formal notice letter is appropriate and to ensure its strategic drafting.
Small Claims Court
The Small Claims Division hears disputes valued at $15,000 or less. While it is not possible to be formally represented by a lawyer in court, the assistance of a civil lawyer in Québec remains invaluable to prepare your case, your arguments, and your evidence.
We can analyze your situation, draft your claim or defense, and help you prepare your testimony and supporting evidence for the hearing.
Unpaid Invoice
Is a client refusing to pay your invoice, with or without justification?
A formal notice letter sent by a civil lawyer can often be enough to convince the debtor to fulfill their obligation.
If payment is still not made, we will guide you through the appropriate legal proceedings and help you build a strong case before the court.
Hidden Defects
Have you purchased a vehicle, a house, a bicycle, or any other property that turns out to be defective or shows a malfunction? You may be dealing with a hidden defect (latent defect) under Québec civil law.
We will evaluate your situation, determine the possible remedies (repair, price reduction, or cancellation of the sale), and implement the most effective strategy to protect your rights.
Defamation
Are negative or false statements circulating about you or your business on social media or elsewhere? You may be the victim of defamation under Québec civil law.
We will analyze the facts, assess the real impact on your reputation, and advise you on the best strategy to stop the harm.
