Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
The fee is $100 plus 13% HST ($113.00 in all) for the work described on this page. Court, tribunal or government fees and other disbursements are extra. We confirm the scope and the fee in a written retainer agreement before any work starts.
What happens when I check out?
You book a time for your intake call, then save a card on Stripe's secure page. Nothing is charged today: the card is only charged later, for an invoice for work already done, as your retainer agreement sets out. A licensed paralegal confirms the details, checks for conflicts of interest and, if we can act for you, sends the retainer agreement. Fees paid before the work is done are held in our trust account.
Will the letter be sent in my name or the firm's?
That depends on the document and the matter, and it is agreed in writing at the start.
What if the other side ignores the letter?
A letter alone may not resolve a dispute. The next step may be a claim or an application, which is a separate service.
What does without prejudice mean?
It marks a settlement communication that generally cannot be used as evidence against you if the matter does not settle. The label alone does not always protect a document.
