We are located in the heart of Victoria, at the intersection of Douglas Street and Courtney Street. The first hour of parking is free at the City of Victoria parking lot located under the Main Branch of the Victoria Library.
Your lawyer will need your identification, basic personal information, and any documents related to your issue. You should be prepared to describe the history of events in relation to your issue. We recommend that new clients prepare a chronology of events prior to the meeting.
We accept cash, credit cards and debit. Please contact us if you would like more information about our fees.
A contingency fee allows us to work on your matter and not charge you legal fees until we receive money on your behalf. In these types of matters, because we are assuming some of the risk of recovering money on your behalf, we will negotiate with you what percentage of recovery we will take as our “contingent” fee. However, even when we take a matter on a contingency fee basis, you will remain responsible for payment of disbursements incurred on your behalf.
We offer contingency fee arrangements in some personal injury and civil litigation matters, determined on a case-by-base basis. We do not offer contingency fee options for family law matters. We encourage you to contact us to discuss whether this option is right for you.
We offer a range of fee structures depending on the type of legal problem that you have. Generally, we require a retainer which is a deposit you make to our trust account. As we work on your file, we are able to deduct our legal fees and disbursements from that deposit. The size of the retainer that we request depends on the type of legal services you need and the specific facts of your case.
Our legal fees are comprised of the work performed by our lawyers on an hourly basis as well as disbursements, which include taxes, filing fees, long distance charges, photocopying charges, courier fees, and other fees charged to us in the course of our work for you.
We offer an initial telephone consultation at no charge. During that time, we listen as you outline your situation and offer you advice on whether you have an issue that requires legal representation. If you require our services, we will then discuss your options and our fee structure so that you can make an informed choice.
Call us at 250-385-1383 or toll free at 1-888-385-1383 and explain briefly what kind of problem you are having. Our reception will forward you to the right lawyer who can assist you.
