Answers to the questions we hear most often from clients across Ottawa and Kanata. If you don't see what you're looking for, give us a call — we're happy to help.
Do I need a lawyer, and when should I contact one?
If you are facing a legal issue, are uncertain about your rights, or have been served with documents, it is generally best to seek advice sooner rather than later. Early guidance can prevent small problems from becoming large ones. Our team offers a no-obligation consultation so you can understand your options before committing.
How much will my legal matter cost?
Costs vary depending on the type and complexity of your matter. We are transparent about fees and will discuss your options — including hourly rates, fixed fees, and contingency arrangements for certain personal injury claims — during your initial consultation, so there are no surprises.
What should I bring to my first meeting?
Bring any relevant documents, such as contracts, letters, court documents, or emails, along with a list of questions you would like answered. If you are unsure what is relevant, bring what you have — we will help sort through it with you.
Do you offer free or no-obligation consultations?
Yes. We offer a no-obligation consultation to discuss your legal issue, answer your questions, and explain how we may be able to help. Contact us at (613) 270-8600 to schedule yours.
What practice areas do you handle?
We are a full-service law firm serving Ottawa and Kanata, with experience in business law, employment law, personal injury, wills and estates, commercial disputes, advisor negligence, and statutory and regulatory defence. Visit our Practice Areas to learn more.
How long will my case take?
Every matter is unique. Some can be resolved in weeks, while others — particularly those involving litigation — may take longer. During your consultation, we will give you an honest assessment of what to expect based on the specifics of your situation.
Will my information remain confidential?
Absolutely. Communications with our lawyers are protected by solicitor-client privilege, and we treat all client information with the strictest confidence.
