Q: How much will it cost?
A: The legal costs of each case are unique but generally can be divided into two categories; contingency fees and hourly fees. Contingency fees are charged when a lawyer agrees to take a case where the fees will be paid out as a percentage of any award or settlement achieved. Hourly fees are charged when the lawyer and client agree to an hourly fee for work completed. Ask us which fee arrangement is right for your case. We take many cases on a contingency fee basis which means no legal fees until settlement. Call us at (905) 270-3600 or email info@pwlaw.ca
Q: How long will my case take to settle or go to court?
A: The length of litigation varies by a number of factors including; the complexity of the case, the number of parties involved, the willingness of all parties involved to resolve the case and delays in obtaining court dates. Typically, wrongful dismissal cases can take anywhere from 1 to 6 months to resolve and Personal Injury cases take a lot longer. Experienced lawyers know that legal matters take time to be resolved fairly. Our first priority is to protect our clients’ future interests by ensuring they are thoroughly treated for their injuries by doctors, physiotherapists and other professionals and that no settlement discussions are started until the full extent of the injuries are known.
