№ x The Fine Print

How our pricing works

“Flat fee” means flatThe legal fee is locked in writing before any work begins. Anything unusual is flagged and quoted before — never after.
“From” means scoped firstSome matters vary in complexity. We confirm a fixed number in writing after a short intake — you approve it before we start.
Disbursements aren’t feesThird-party costs vary by file. We pass them through at cost.
№ xi Before You Ask

Pricing questions

When do I actually pay?

Most files require nothing to start. Real estate fees are paid from closing funds on closing day; the 20-minute initial assessment is paid at booking; other matters are billed on completion or by agreed phase.

What if my matter gets complicated?

We pause, explain what changed, and quote the additional work before proceeding. You’ll never open a bill you haven’t already approved.

Are taxes included?

Yes — every price shown is “our charges,” with taxes already included. Third-party disbursements (search, registration and filing fees, title insurance, couriers) and, on a purchase, Land Transfer Tax are extra and billed at cost, and they vary by file.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, on most non-real-estate matters over $1,500 — typically 2 to 4 installments. Ask during intake.
