Fees

Clear fee arrangements, confirmed before the work begins.

Depending on the matter, legal services may be billed hourly, for a defined flat fee, or under a contingency arrangement. The written retainer agreement controls.

Hourly rates

Time-based billing may be appropriate where the scope or procedural path cannot be predicted at the outset.

  • Rates and billing intervals confirmed in writing
  • Itemized accounts for work performed
  • Retainer and replenishment terms explained before work begins

Flat fees

A fixed price may be available for a defined service with a predictable scope, including selected wills and planning documents.

  • Basic will: $800 plus applicable tax
  • Enduring power of attorney: $375 plus applicable tax
  • Representation agreement: $375 plus applicable tax

Contingency arrangements

A no-fee-upfront arrangement may be available for a qualifying professional-negligence claim or selected civil matter after an assessment of evidence, recovery prospects, and proportionality.

  • Availability is decided case by case
  • The written agreement controls the fee and disbursement terms
  • A successful outcome is never guaranteed

Qualifying matters

Contingency availability begins with a file assessment.

Examples may include claims involving lawyer, immigration consultant, realtor, accountant, medical, dental, or other professional negligence, as well as selected civil disputes.

Eligibility, percentages, responsibility for disbursements, and what happens if a claim is unsuccessful must be set out in a signed agreement. Contact the firm to discuss the facts and the available arrangement.
