Day Schools:
We can assist you in preparing and putting forth your Day School Claims Application, including gathering supporting information so that you can put your best case forward to ensure that you receive the compensation that you deserve. We are experienced and understand the legal complexities and requirements in order to assist with the higher level 2-5 claims.
We have significant experience working in First Nation/Indigenous communities across the Country, including with Residential and Day School survivors. We can meet with you personally/face to face, virtually, or by phone or email to assist you with your Claims Application and in putting your best evidence forth for higher level claims.
We will gather the information needed to put your best claim forward to the Claims Administrator, including following up with ATIP (Access to Information Requests) or Archives Canada to obtain school attendance records or other documents of assistance in your claim.
We can also assist with Estate claims for survivors who have passed away (after July 31st 2007). If a deceased survivor does not have an Estate Executor and if they were on reserve or off reserve , there are very important differences which we can assist with.
We will follow up with the Claims Administrator with respect to your claim and seek to ensure a timely adjudication.
We will also assist you if your claim is denied or if your claim level is determined to be lower than claimed. We can advocate for you under the Claims Reconsideration/Appeal process.
We will work with you individually to ensure your privacy and confidentially.
We support traditional healing ie: healing and sharing circles.
Our legal fee is 5% of any compensation obtained (subject to Federal Court review/approval). No legal fee is due if your claim is not successful.
