Initial Consultation
Legal situations don't have standard answers. In an initial consultation, I don't just listen to the facts — I give you a full strategic picture.
I will walk you through the realistic options in your case: the risks of litigation, your negotiating position, and the most effective path forward. Many clients tell me that what gave them the most peace of mind was finally understanding the full landscape of their situation.
I will not let clients enter proceedings without a clear strategy. My goal is to ensure you make the most rational decision with complete information in hand.
Billed in 6-minute units. 30 minutes constitutes one complete consultation.

The following services are offered at fixed fee ranges. Actual fees depend on the specifics of each matter. All fees are subject to HST and disbursements.
Uncontested Divorce
For matters where both parties have already agreed on divorce terms. We handle everything — from document preparation to court filing to proactively following up on processing status — until you receive your Divorce Certificate. You will not need to chase the court yourself.
As long as both parties remain cooperative and the matter does not become contested, no additional fees will be charged within the fixed fee.
- Review of agreement terms for legal compliance
- Preparation and filing of all court documents
- Proactive follow-up with the court on processing status
- Obtaining the Divorce Order and Divorce Certificate
Agreement Drafting
For prenuptial agreements, marriage contracts, separation agreements, and cohabitation agreements. I draft agreements from a litigator's perspective — anticipating gaps and ensuring legal enforceability.
- Full review of both parties' financial situation and objectives
- Drafting of the complete agreement
- Assistance with the signing process (ILA)
Litigation Representation
Full Representation in Family Law Proceedings
For contested divorce, property division, child custody, spousal support, cross-border asset recovery, and other matters requiring court proceedings.
Fees vary depending on the complexity of the matter, frequency of court appearances, and volume of work required. Every document, every court appearance, and every communication is accurately recorded in your account — no hidden charges.
- Court appearances and preparation
- Drafting motions and responding to opposing motions
- Negotiations with opposing counsel
- Mediation and out-of-court settlement discussions
- Client communications and legal advice
Limited Retainer
What Is a Limited Retainer?
A limited retainer means retaining a lawyer for a specific, defined task rather than handing over the entire matter. The retainer agreement specifies exactly what is covered, and representation ends once that task is complete.
This arrangement is appropriate in situations such as:
- Self-represented clients who need a lawyer to prepare specific documents or navigate a particular court step
- Clients who need a lawyer present at a single hearing or conference, but not for full representation
- Clients who need a lawyer to review documents submitted by the opposing party and provide a written legal opinion
- Matters nearing conclusion that only require assistance with a final legal step
A limited retainer allows clients to control costs while obtaining professional legal support at critical junctures. If you are considering self-representation but are uncertain about specific steps, feel free to ask whether this arrangement might suit your situation.

Disbursements are third-party costs paid on your behalf in the course of handling your matter. They are separate from legal fees and itemized clearly on your invoice.
