We primarily serve clients throughout Alberta, with most of our practice focused in the Calgary region, but we are happy to work with clients across Canada, with the exception of Quebec.
If you're located outside of Alberta or British Columbia and are interested in our services, please let us know when booking a consultation or submitting a request.
Your first consultation with our Team is complimentary. We believe in establishing a strong foundation before beginning our work together. When you request a consultation through our website, you will be guided through Lawbrokr, our secure platform where you will provide some basic information about your situation. This helps us understand the nature of your legal needs and ensures we are well-prepared to assist you.
Typically within 1-2 business days, a Team Member will review your information and reach out to schedule your consultation, which can be conducted in person, by phone, or through video conferencing based on your preference.
This approach allows us to make the most of our time together, focusing immediately on your specific concerns rather than gathering basic information. There is no charge for this initial consultation as we believe it's important to understand your situation and determine how we can best help before any commitment is made.
The most important preparation is thinking about your priorities and goals for the legal matter. Having a general timeline of key events can be particularly helpful, as this helps us understand the sequence and context of your situation. Come prepared with questions you would like answered and any initial thoughts about what you hope to achieve.
A Team Member will contact you prior to the consultation if specific documents would be beneficial to review during our meeting.
The timeline for resolving legal matters varies significantly depending on the complexity of your situation, the practice area, and whether litigation is involved.
Timelines vary depending on the matter. Family law cases like divorce can take longer to resolve, while corporate transactions are typically completed more quickly. Estate planning requires time to ensure thorough documentation, and litigation matters often extend over a longer period due to their complexity.
During your consultation, we will provide a realistic timeline based on your specific circumstances and keep you informed of any developments that might affect this estimate throughout our representation.
Every legal process follows different procedures, but they generally include several common phases. After engagement, we typically begin with information gathering and strategy development. This is followed by negotiation or document filing, depending on your matter.
If your case involves litigation, you can expect discovery phases, possible mediation attempts, and potentially trial preparation. Throughout the process, we maintain consistent communication, explaining developments in clear language and involving you in key decisions.
We strive to minimize surprises by preparing you for each stage and potential outcomes along the way.
We believe in transparent, value-based fee structures tailored to your specific needs. For most matters, we charge hourly rates that reflect the experience level of the professionals working on your case. We provide detailed retainer agreements outlining expected costs and regular updates on your file's status and expenses. For certain services, like specific corporate transactions or estate planning packages, we may offer fixed fees.
During your initial consultation, we will discuss fee structures appropriate for your situation and work to provide cost-effective legal solutions without compromising quality.
While you will have a primary point of contact managing your relationship with our firm, one of our strengths is our team-based approach. Different aspects of your matter may be handled by various specialists with expertise in relevant areas, all coordinated by your lead lawyer.
This collaborative model provides you with broader expertise and more comprehensive solutions than a single-lawyer approach, while maintaining consistent communication through your primary contact.
We believe this structure delivers superior results while being cost-effective for our clients.
Our approach combines specialized expertise with a collaborative team structure that addresses not just your immediate legal needs, but all related challenges. Where many firms assign a single lawyer to your case, we deploy our collective knowledge, with multiple specialists contributing insights to your strategy while maintaining a single point of contact for seamless communication.
We recognize that complex legal matters rarely exist in isolation. That is why we excel at connecting you with trusted professionals beyond legal services—financial advisors, appraisers, real estate agents—to provide comprehensive support through life's pivotal transitions.
This integrated, tailored approach ensures your unique situation receives the strategic attention it deserves. We craft customized solutions that consider all dimensions of your case, not just the legal paperwork. When facing sophisticated challenges with significant implications for your future, our comprehensive strategy delivers results that extend far beyond the immediate legal resolution.
