My Fees

Every case is different. Determining the cost of defending your case will depend upon a number of factors including the nature of your criminal law problem, its complexity, and your 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.

I generally bill on a block-fee basis, not hourly.

The purpose of block-fee billing is to provide you with certainty about what your defence will cost.  You will be able to 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 block-fee billing, it is in both of our interests to address your criminal matter as quickly and efficiently as possible.  

In most cases, we can work out a payment plan that fits your individual financial circumstances.

I also accept Visa, MasterCard, and Interac.
