Rupa Karyampudi, Lawyer

I hired Kristy as a contract law clerk when our firm was short-staffed. She assisted with several complicated motions. Kristy is very thorough with drafting motion records and was able to help move several files along. She was also able to provide mentorship to more junior staff members.

Diane Staples,

Family Lawyer

It was March Break and no one was available. I needed a Law Clerk and had a very short time-frame. I reached out to Kristy and she came through for everything. With my short timeframe and her limited hours, she made it work and got all of the work completed in a professional manner. Not only that, she was a delight to deal with and her questions were timely and appropriate. With the final deadline being just after Easter Weekend, Kristy was able to help me with the whole project. I highly recommend using Kristy for your practice.

Leanne Rapley,

Lawyer

I concur! Kristy McLaren is an asset to our firm as well!!

Laurence Dutil-Ricard, Lawyer

Kristy was very responsive and available to help me out when I needed it. She was positive, efficient and a pleasure to work with. Small and solo firms, you are not alone, you have Kristy.

G. D. F.

GTA Lawyer

Kristy, at Clearly Legal, is a wonderful person to work with and a wealth of knowledge in her field. She is detailed, through, and knowledgeable. She approaches each project with care, focus and attention to detail. She has been invaluable on projects and always sensitive to concerns raised on a file or time-sensitive issues. Her work is articulate, well-written and demonstrates her knowledge and experience, Definitely someone you can trust with your legal matters.

M. Garofalo,

Law Clerk Mentoring

I met Kristy when I started working in a new role with a law firm that focuses primarily on disability. As a new assistant and law clerk student, Kristy has been able to provide me with assistance and lots of mentoring to provide me with the skills required to expand my knowledge and move in the direction of becoming a junior clerk. Thanks Kristy, for the mentoring!

Audrianna,

Ontario Self-Rep

I have been keeping current with your updates. My apologies for not acknowledging your notes, especially since I am both pleased and impressed with what you are producing. I really like the way you have organized the files. I really appreciate you highlighting the gaps and posing questions.

Bhavna Fatnani,

International Lawyer

Interacting with Kristy has always given me some food for thought, right from the first meet & greet. She's always been so kind and giving. It was a pleasure working with her - learning nuances of the legal process in Ontario. If you're looking for assistance, stop right away and message Kristy. She's
your one stop solution to all legal concerns. Her ability to network and build a stronger legal community will allow you to find the right fit for the job.

Andrea Siu,

GTA Lawyer

Kristy of Clearly Legal is a kind-hearted, helpful, and conscientious law clerk who cares about the little details… and you! She goes above and beyond to set and manage expectations; keeps you posted about time spent/still to be spent; responds to questions in a very detailed manner; and offers
helpful tips/suggestions/trouble-shooting guidance regarding the process (rather than straight drafting, even if that is what she has been engaged to do).

Claudia,

Law Clerk Student Mentee

Over the past several months, Kristy has quickly become my go-to and mentor with respect to
all things ILCO and Law Clerk related. Her wealth of knowledge and expertise has helped me
immensely throughout my studies and has not only increased my confidence but, has also
helped me achieve a high mark in both my Real Estate and Litigation exams. Kristy’s coaching
style and availability is what I’ve found most helpful. She is responsive, eager, and is not afraid
to push you to ensure that you gain confidence and understanding of the material you are
studying. I’ve recommended Kristy to many of my classmates and they all agree that she has
been an incredible mentor and coach.

Deniz,

Ontario Lawyer

I worked with Kristy on a civil litigation file and found that she is very knowledgeable about the rules of civil
procedure and was always available to answer last minute questions. Thank you for all your help!

Jill,

Law Clerk Student Mentee

In February 2016 I took the ILCO Wills and Estates course. Getting closer to exam time, and not feeling
as confident in my knowledge as I should be, I welcomed the help of Kristy. She introduced herself in an e-mail that made me instantly feel comfortable and eager to talk more with her.
Over the next few weeks Kristy would drill me with on the spot text messages asking me questions that
she felt I should know, questions that tested my knowledge and also gave me a better understanding of
areas that I needed more time on, and confidence in those areas I knew.
I am happy to say that with the help from Kristy her continued encouragement and reinsurance I passed
the Wills and Estates Exam.
I would highly recommend Kristy to anyone, and everyone that is seeking more help with the ILCO
courses. I can’t thank her enough for her continued guidance, support and help in getting me more than
prepared for passing my exam.

you achieve your goals!

J. P. M.,

Ottawa Lawyer

My office needed to bring a Superior Court Application to support a business client. Kristy reviewed the Application Record and crafted the initial draft of the Factum. I noticed her efficiency and experience immediately, and upon receiving sound procedural advice from her, contracted with her to compile the Book of Authorities and collaborate on the finalizing of the Application materials to ensure they were court ready. The hearing was successful. The court outcome was favourable and I would recommend Kristy for your litigation needs.

L. M.,

Ontario Lawyer

When I met Kristy, I was a National Committee on
Accreditation (NCA) candidate.

I am now NCA Qualified.

I found Kristy on Linked In through her posts about her story and experiences. In finding her litigation knowledge and experience with legal process invaluable, I began following her and taking notes based on her suggestions and experiences.

In a short time, Kristy has become a resourceful network connection for me and I know I will work with her as a law clerk upon receipt of my admission to the bar of the Law Society of Ontario. Based on my growing appreciation for Kristy, I would
whole heartedly recommend her (and her reasonable fees) as a mentor / tutor and as a law clerk.

Melanie Reska,

MAK Virtual Solutions

I met Kristy through a legal social media group and recently had the chance to collaborate with
her on a project. Kristy's ability to take the lead on project management was beyond helpful to
expedite the project. Her experienced attention to detail, understanding of and ability to draft
contracts, as well as her proofing skills and tech skills allowed us to complete the project quickly
and efficiently. I highly recommend Kristy for her attention to detail, project management and
ability to proof for your next document review, draft and proofing projects.

B. B.

Toronto Lawyer

You are most welcome, Kristy. I really appreciate your work on this, both in terms of quality and also the time that you devoted to helping get things done. I’m hopeful that we can work further on this matter and perhaps also on others in the future.

C. Myers,

Freelance Mentoring

Kristy is an incredible mentor! I loved her authenticity and honesty. She is incredibly knowledgeable and provided such useful information regarding my plans in becoming a freelance legal assistant. She brought up things that I hadn’t even thought about. Kristy’s advice and mentoring was invaluable and I appreciate
having been mentored by her. I will take everything I learned for her in my journey toward understanding more about freelancing.

Gordan Luborsky,

GTA Lawyer

I would like to comment on the services I received from Kristy McLaren of “Clearly Legal”. I hired Kristy to help me deal with a small claims court claim. I found her very knowledgeable on small claims court procedures and of great assistance in preparing and processing the paperwork required to deal with the action. But as important, I found her to be extremely conscience, and able to provide practical advice that helped as she guided me to a successful resolution of the dispute (at a very reasonable price). I am appreciative of all of her hard work and have no hesitation in recommending her services for anyone requiring expert advice on navigating the minefield of small claims court procedures.

Laura M. Abitbol,

Ottawa Lawyer

Shout out to Clearly Legal, Kristy McLaren Freelance Law Clerk, for her AMAZING work on a matter I was dealing with. I cannot express into words how patient and through she was in getting the job done! If any of you are looking for some law clerk help, you can count on her!

You're wonderful to work with!

Merci!

Leanne Goldstein,

Goldstein Law, GTA

I contacted Kristy to assist my team with court filing. Kristy was very organized and very knowledgeable when it came to the court systems and how to navigate the system with ease. Thank you Kristy for the quick response and action with my team.

M. M.

Toronto Lawyer

Thank you for all your help!

No clue, your our fearless leader!

Melanie P,

Law Clerk and Paralegal Mentee

My experience of working with Kristy has been exceptional. The experience came in two forms - working along side me as a colleague and as a mentor. As a colleague, Kristy brought her years of experience and expertise while performing several tasks as a paralegal and law clerk, in which she constantly worked toward promoting the administration of justice. As a mentor, Kristy took time during work and personal time to assist in furthering my education as a law clerk and working towards my licensing to become a paralegal, which I successfully obtained. Throughout the time and experience of working with and being mentored by Kristy, I feel confident in her abilities and knowledge of the law.

Nadia Papa,

Resume Rebuild

Kristy helped me refresh my resume and build my LinkedIn profile. She was very thoughtful, thorough and knowledgeable. She helped me organize thoughts and streamline all my information. Her approach is methodical and very detailed oriented.

Taheratul Haque,

Toronto Lawyer

Prior to Kristy launching Clearly Legal, I had the pleasure of working directly with her for about 1.5 years as my law clerk. She is knowledgeable, professional and a very capable clerk.

Having seen Kristy in action, including her proof-reading, drafting and document compilation skills, I would wholly recommend Kristy the next time you need help with motion materials or an affidavit of documents.

D. R.

Toronto Lawyer

I'd like to introduce Kristy. Kristy is a super experienced law clerk that works on a
contract basis. She also has her paralegal license,

but currently has it inactive. This
means she can prepare documents for you and review evidence etc. but not represent
clients on a standalone basis. I'd assume you'd just want Kristy's help in preparing
documents. Ive had Kristy help me on litigation

files and she's been excellent, so don't
steal her haha.

Michael Alexander,

Toronto Lawyer

Kristy made herself available for two urgent litigation matters on short notice and
provided outstanding support. In relation to both cases, she had to wade through a sea
of documents for submission to CaseLines and picked out discrepancies that were
quickly remedied. I can highly recommend Kristy as someone with a keen eye for detail
and an ability to work efficiently under pressure.

R. A.

Toronto Lawyer Mentee

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kristy who provided me with training on civil
litigation topics, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her knowledge in the field
is impressive, and she was incredibly accommodating to all my requests and questions.

From the very beginning, Kristy created a friendly and professional environment that
made learning both enjoyable and effective. She took the time to ensure I fully
understood the material, and her insights were invaluable.

Additionally, her rates were very reasonable, especially considering the quality of
training I received. I truly felt I got great value for what I paid. If you’re looking for
someone to help you navigate civil litigation, Kristy is the one to turn to!
