Consultation checklist ↖Frequently asked questions
Answers before your next step
Does every dispute require a court claim?
A short description alone does not determine the right route, options are discussed after reviewing the file and may include negotiation, settlement or proceedings depending on the facts, rights and records
What should I do when I receive court papers?
Keep the complete papers, record when they were received and mention them when you contact the office so the required review can be discussed without relying on a general deadline found online
Can the outcome be guaranteed after reviewing the records?
A review helps assess the file and options but does not guarantee a result or duration, outcomes depend on facts, evidence, applicable rules and procedure
Does a consultation include court representation?
Advice, document review, negotiation and representation are separate tasks, discuss the scope, fees and follow-up arrangements before work begins
