Kim’s standard hourly rate is $350 + HST, billed in six-minute increments. This reflects our experience, responsiveness, and commitment to high-quality legal work.

To help manage costs, we delegate appropriate tasks to our trusted law clerks who are billed at $150 to $200 + HST per hour. This allows us to work efficiently while keeping your overall legal fees as affordable as possible.

We offer two discounted, flat-rate consultation options:

• 30-Minute Phone Consultation — $175 + HST

• 60-Minute Virtual/In-Person Consultation — $350 + HST
  

Some law firms offer free consultations, but as the saying goes—you get what you pay for. Our consultations are one of the best values we offer. For a discounted fee, you receive more than just general information. We take the time to understand your situation, answer key questions, and provide legal advice and strategy tailored to your unique needs. Clients often leave feeling clearer, more confident, and better prepared to take the next step.

If you decide to retain us, $100 will be credited to your retainer.

To begin work on your matter, we typically request an initial retainer of $3,000, held in trust. Legal fees and disbursements are billed against this amount as work progresses. Once the retainer is used, a further retainer may be requested. Any unused funds will be returned to you at the conclusion of your file.

You will receive monthly detailed invoices showing time spent and services performed. We also make it a priority to discuss your anticipated legal costs with you regularly throughout the process.

For certain matters, such as uncontested divorces, we may offer a flat fee starting at $1,500 + HST + disbursements. This option is available when both parties agree on all issues and no negotiation is required.

The overall cost of your case will depend on factors such as:

• The complexity of your matter

• The number of legal issues involved (e.g. parenting, support, property division)

• The level of cooperation from the other party

• The process used to resolve your case (negotiation, mediation, court, etc.)

We focus on resolution, not escalation—avoiding unnecessary conflict and saving you time and money. Our experience allows us to spot problems early and guide you toward cost-effective solutions.

We also use technology to streamline communication, minimize admin time, and ensure faster service. We also take on a limited number of cases to ensure every file gets timely, focused attention.

Please note that we do not currently accept Legal Aid certificates.
