First to find our if the legal fees you incurred are eligible please see our TurboTax FAQs: Are All Legal Fees Fully Tax Deductible? and Deducting Legal Fees

As per the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) Legal fees It appears these fees are not eligible to be claimed.

For clarification please call the CRA at 1-800-959-8281.
