@Michelle Yes you are 100% correct since the statute number and possibly the wording has been changed. Btw I am impressed and admire how you told him to demand the 100% guarantee from the Discount Waiver Company. This is why I always say that you will never rip off anyone and we always back you. I have told people like him that there is an extremely high degree of probability (aka 98.6% chance) that they will get denied for a pardon.
I do not mean to beat a dead horse, but we get this from certain clients that have been taken by these Ontario cheap waiver companies. An example is that we just got a client that got ripped off by one that offered to sell her a “waiver kit.” She does not need a waiver and essentially has a lifetime clearance but would have talked herself into a Misrepresentation offence had she used this “kit.”
Hence, this means that she would then need to get a waiver for the rest of her life. I told her to ask the DWC if she even needed a waiver and they said they were unsure. We told her to ask for a refund, and that she could mention my name. Well the DWC clerk got mad and apparently referred to me, using very choice words Lol... They ended up offering her a 50% refund and she took it.
Btw no offence about the horse analogy since I know you love your horses...lol
We sometimes have to offer the 100% refund option to a client as a show of good faith if they have been previously ripped off by an Ontario Discount Waiver Company. I understand where they are coming from though since they got ripped off for $659.08 by Batman’s Pardon & Waivers in Toronto.
You have also brought up a topic that I was going to contact you about. There is a way that you can make extra money by contracting out your special talents to law firms by being an “Analytical Recommendatory Opinion Expert."
It will be easier for you because firms are always looking to contract out certain things to specialists in certain areas. Your prior employment clearly puts you into that category. I do the same thing now with firms on special cases because of my background. I even often submit my own Analytical Recommendatory Opinion on certain waiver cases, and it seems to work.
The thing is that you have to possess the special law background based on previously working for the government or for/with law firms. You can bill them at $100hr and take as long as necessary to prepare the document(s). The firm will just add your fee to the client’s bill as a disbursement. It is all just in the wording that you use to document your "analytical opinion." I can share with you a sample of what we submit.
They will not contract out this service to employees of Discount Waiver Companies since they have often never received any special legal training, and there is no distinction between them and Joe the Plumber filling out a waiver application. I would be happy to show you a lot of these things and it will allow you to demand a higher fee from clients.
