Every case
is
different.
Determining
the cost of
defending a
case will
depend upon
a number of
factors
including
the nature
of your
criminal law
problem, its
complexity,
and our
legal
objective.
This is why
your first
meeting with
me is always
free.
Fees are
usually
discussed
at the
end of
our
first
meeting
once I
have a
sense of
what
type of
criminal
problem
you are
facing
and the
complexity
of the
work
involved.
The fees
and
services
are
always
clearly
set out
in
writing,
and I
generally
bill on
a
block-fee
basis,
not
hourly.
The
purpose
of
block-fee
billing
is to
provide
you with
certainty
about
your
legal
expenses.
You can
rest
easier
knowing
that you
can
consult
me
without
added
cost and
without
fear
that
your
matter
may be
unduly
prolonged
at your
expense.
With a
block-fee
bill, it
is in
both of
our
interests
to
address
your
criminal
matter
as
quickly
and
efficiently
as
possible.
In most
cases, a
payment
plan can
be
arranged.
Once we
determine
the
cost, we
will
arrange
a
payment
plan
that
fits
your
individual
financial
circumstances.
I also
accept
Visa,
MasterCard,
and
Interac.
