  • There is a fee for the initial consultation, payable in advance.

How It Works

01

Schedule an initial consultation

To get started, schedule an initial consultation. 

You’ll be asked to complete a client information form beforehand so that we can focus on your most pressing concerns during the meeting. 

The consultation typically takes 60-90 minutes and we’ll use this time to discuss your situation, your goals, and develop a personalized strategy that is right for you. 

We will also help you understand the options available for your specific case.

02

Working on your case

Once we have developed a strategy, we will begin implementing it to move your case towards a resolution.

This can include preparing your financial information, reviewing information from the other party, negotiating with the other party, and drafting necessary documents.

Along the way, we’ll keep you informed about the progress of your matter and you’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about your case.

03

The results

This stage can include finalizing your agreement in a legally binding document or obtaining a final decision from a judge if you are in court. 

We will ensure that you understand the outcome of your case and any next steps.

I understand that every client’s needs are unique. That’s why I offer a variety of service options to suit your specific situation:

Full Legal Representation

With full legal representation, I'll act on your behalf throughout the entire legal process. An agreed-upon retainer fee will be required upfront which will serve as an initial deposit for future services and will be held and applied to your invoices. You are required to top up the retainer so that you always have money in trust for your case. The retainer amount depends on the complexity of your case, and I will discuss this with you in detail before commencing our work together.

Limited Scope (Unbundled Services)

If you prefer to represent yourself, a limited scope retainer may be a better option for you. For example, if you only require independent legal advice or need a specific document drafted, I can assist you with limited scope services.

Flat Fees

I offer some services for a flat fee, such as uncontested divorce or a foreign divorce opinion letter. I will always discuss fees and hourly rates in detail before commencing our work together, so you know exactly what to expect.

Transparent Invoicing and Payment

I believe in complete transparency when it comes to the invoicing and payment process. I issue itemized invoices regularly to give you a clear picture of the work I've undertaken on your behalf, and I aim to work as cost-effectively as we can. I respectfully ask that payment is submitted for invoices immediately upon receipt. O accept e-transfers (our preferred method), Visa or Mastercard, or cheque.
