I offer these options

What you can expect at an initial consultation

You will:

• Complete a brief intake form online.
• Schedule a consultation through an online link.
• Choose a phone or video appointment.
• Pay for the consultation via a secure online link or by e-transfer.

15 minute consultation

• I will try to answer a few questions within the time allotted. I may be able to provide referrals if another lawyer is better suited to your case.

30 – 60 minute consultation

Here is what we will cover depending on the length of the consultation:

• About you: You will talk about your situation, your goals and concerns.
• Your priorities: You will let me know what your priorities are and what information you need out of this consultation.
• Legal advice: I will do my best to answer your legal questions.
• Resolution method: I will explain process options (the method to complete your case) including negotiation, collaborative law, mediation, mediation/arbitration and court. I will help you weigh the pros and cons of the process options to help you decide which option is best for you.
• Resources: I may refer you to resources that could be helpful to you.
• Future legal costs: I may be able to provide a rough estimate of future legal fees, but a lot will depend on which process option you and your spouse choose.

Important information

• I provide virtual legal services.
  
• I do not accept cases that involve arbitration or court.
• After the consultation my services end.
• If you would like to retain me for future legal services, then I require a signed retainer letter and a deposit towards future fees.
