What to expect
A detail-oriented
law firm
We believe success relies upon a thorough and careful analysis of each piece of evidence and rule of law.
This means we will not advise you to initiate a legal action without having been able to fully and carefully examine your case from each perspective.
Our fees are tailored to your needs, your income, the amount at stake and your chances of success. On this basis, we will offer you one of the following formulas :
- legal aid (if eligible)
- an all inclusive (flat) fee
- a contingency fee (with usually a retainer fee)
- an hourly rate fee
In each case, we will give you an estimated minimum and maximum fee and we commit not to charge you above the maximum fee without your prior agreement.
It is common for potential clients to be anxious or nervous when meeting with a lawyer for the first time.
please read the following guidelines :
The meeting will always be preceded by a short phone call to allow us to understand your case and to determine whether or not it falls into our areas of expertise.
Then, in order to prepare for the meeting please:
- gather all significant and relevant documents;
- if possible, make copies of those documents;
- make a list of all issues you are concerned about and any questions you would like to be answered during the meeting;
- check whether your insurance contract covers our fees and make sure you have claimed for compensation through your insurance company if necessary.
Our fees are tailored to your incomes. We don’t charge if you cannot pay. So please come with proof of financial ressources (employment, income tax).
Be as accurate and honest as you can and remember an attorney-client relation must be based on trust and confidence.
Meetings are subject to attorney-client privilege so we won’t in any manner whatsoever, disclose any provided information and/or documents.
