Frequently Asked Questions

We know the legal process can feel overwhelming. Our FAQ section is here to give you clarity and confidence by addressing the questions clients ask most often.

1. Do you accept legal aid mandates?

Yes, we accept legal aid mandates if you are eligible. We know that proper representation is often expensive, and this is especially true for those with lower incomes. We want to address this by representing you to the best of our ability, regardless of your income level. If you are not eligible for legal aid, rest assured that our rates remain competitive. We will discuss all costs associated with your representation before taking on your case to avoid any unpleasant surprises until the end of the legal proceedings.

2. Can you represent me if I am outside of Montreal?

Yes. We can represent clients outside of Montreal depending on the nature of the case. Many matters can be handled remotely via phone, video calls, and digital documents. If in-person representation is required, we’ll discuss the options with you in advance.
