Common questions

Yes, we offer virtual consultations. Our team of lawyers is fully equipped to assist you through various forms of digital communications, including Zoom, Teams, phone calls, and other virtual platforms. We’re here to provide the support you need, no matter where you are.

For your consultation or first meeting with a lawyer, please bring a valid form of ID (such as a driver’s license or passport) for verification purposes. Additionally, it’s helpful to bring any relevant documentation related to your matter, such as contracts, agreements, court papers, or any other materials that could assist in understanding your situation. This will ensure that we can provide you with the best possible advice and guidance.

Our pricing structure varies depending on the type of service you require. For certain areas of law, we offer value-based pricing (for example Family Law). However, for other areas, our pricing may be structured differently, such as hourly rates or fixed fees. We’ll go over all of these details in your first meeting, so you’ll have a clear understanding of the costs and billing structure specific to your case. We’re here to make sure everything is transparent and fits your needs.

Our team has extensive experience across a wide range of legal areas. Each of our lawyers brings years of expertise to the table, with a track record of successful cases and happy clients. We have handled numerous complex matters and are well-versed in both traditional and emerging legal challenges. No matter your legal needs, you can trust that our team has the knowledge and skills to guide you effectively.

If you become aware of an actual or potential conflict of interest, it’s important to let your lawyer know as soon as possible. We have policies and procedures in place to identify and respond to conflicts of interest. In the event of a conflict between your interests and those of another client for whom we are also acting, it may be that we are unable to continue to provide services to you, the other client, or both. If you’re unsure about whether a conflict exists, don’t hesitate to discuss it with your lawyer .
