Hi, It all depends if it's civil court or criminal. In civil matters you should just go to the Duty Council and they will advice you what to do now. If it's criminal matters you really should get a lawyer. Any way, try calling this number: Lawyer Reference Service 1-800-268-8326 you'll get 30 min. of free legal advice. There is also Community legal clinics, maybe they will be able to help you
