Common questions

Why start with an assessment?

Litigation is expensive. A paid assessment gives you an honest read on the merits so you can decide with eyes open — sometimes the answer is "don’t."

What’s the small claims limit?

Ontario Small Claims Court handles claims up to $50,000. Our flat fee includes the trial.

How are larger matters billed?

Civil litigation is budgeted by phase — pleadings, discovery, motions, trial — so you always know the next step’s cost.

Will you push to settle?

Where it serves you, yes. Most disputes resolve faster and cheaper through a well-aimed demand or negotiation.

Litigation · What clients say

In their own words

“A boundary dispute with my neighbour dragged on longer than I hoped, but I was kept informed the whole way through.”

N.D. · Boundary dispute · Niagara Region

“I was dealing with a contract dispute that had been dragging on, and finally having someone lay out my options clearly was a relief.”

P.W. · Contract dispute · Toronto

“Going through arbitration instead of court felt unfamiliar, and having the process explained ahead of time helped me know what to expect at each stage.”

B.N. · Arbitration · Chatham-Kent
