Question 1

Is the initial consultation really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our initial consultation is completely free of charge and carries no obligation. We will not pressure you to retain us. The purpose of the first consultation is to understand your situation, give you an honest assessment of where you stand, and let you decide whether we are the right fit for your case.

Question 2

Is everything I tell you confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Solicitor-client privilege attaches from the moment you contact our office. Everything you share with us, whether by phone, email, or through this form, is strictly confidential and protected by law. It cannot be disclosed to anyone, including police or the Crown, without your consent.

Question 3

How quickly will you respond to my message?

Accepted Answer

We review form submissions throughout the day and typically respond within a few hours during business hours. For urgent matters, including bail situations or anything time-sensitive, call us directly at (587) 355-8889. We answer 24 hours a day on urgent criminal matters.

Question 4

What if I have not been charged yet but think I am under investigation?

Accepted Answer

Call us immediately. The decisions you make before charges are laid, including whether to speak to police, can significantly affect the outcome of your case. You have the right to retain counsel before speaking to any investigators and we strongly advise doing so. Do not wait until you are formally charged to get legal advice.

Question 5

Do you offer payment plans?

Accepted Answer

Criminal defence fees depend on the complexity of your case and how far it proceeds. We discuss fees openly in the initial consultation so you understand the financial commitment before making any decision. Call (587) 355-8889 to have that conversation.

Question 6

What should I bring to my first consultation?

Accepted Answer

If you have received any court documents, police release conditions, or a notice to appear, bring those or have them available. If you have already received Crown disclosure, bring that as well. If you have nothing yet, that is fine. Come with as clear a picture as you can of what happened and what contact you have had with police. We will take it from there.
