FAQ

The questions people ask before they instruct a firm.

Straight answers on consultations, fees, timing and who actually runs your file.

Getting started

How do I schedule a consultation?

Call the office, email the partners or use the contact page. Every request is confirmed the same day and we normally offer a time within two business days.

Is the first consultation really free?

Yes — whether or not you go on to instruct us. You will leave it knowing where you actually stand, which is the point of it.

What should I bring?

Anything in writing: contracts, correspondence, filings, medical records, photographs. If you have nothing yet, come anyway — most people start with nothing.

Is my matter too small for you?

No. A one-page contract review and a multi-year commercial dispute get the same partner attention, and the fee is scaled to the matter, not to the client.

Working with us

Who actually does the work?

The attorney who takes your first call runs the file. Associates support that person; they do not quietly replace them once the engagement letter is signed.

How often will I hear from you?

A written position update at the end of every month, plus a call whenever something changes that affects your decision. You will never have to chase us for status.

What types of cases do you handle?

Corporate and commercial, litigation and arbitration, employment, family and estates, personal injury, immigration, intellectual property, real estate, tax and restructuring.

What if you cannot take my matter?

We tell you in the first conversation and, where we can, we name the firm we think should have it. A referral costs you nothing and costs us nothing to make.

Fees and timing

What are your fees?

Hourly from $395, fixed fee from $2,500, or contingency on personal injury. Whichever applies is agreed in writing before any work begins.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes, on fixed-fee and most hourly matters. It is a normal request, it is granted often, and it has never changed how a file is run here.

How long will my case take?

A negotiated settlement can close in weeks. A contested matter that reaches trial usually runs one to two years. We give you a realistic range at the outset, not an optimistic one.

Can I stop halfway?

At any time. You are billed for the work done to that point, your file is released within five working days, and nobody will make it difficult.

Ask us the one that is not here.

Every matter arrives with a question nobody has written down yet. Send it over — a partner answers it, not a form.
