As we continue to monitor the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, we are taking every precaution to ensure the health and safety of our staff and clients. While our office continues to remain open, we may be working remotely at times and/or have varied hours of operation. We do encourage meetings by phone or video conferencing where possible. However, for those who prefer, we are accepting in-person appointments at our office again, but using strict safety protocols.
If you have been exposed to a person who has been positively identified as having – or is suspected to have COVID-19, if you or a member of your household have been travelling in the last 14 days anywhere outside of the Province of Ontario or, if you are experiencing any symptoms of illness, we would ask that you not attend our office and instead contact us to make alternative arrangements.

We continue to do our part to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Unbundled Services

Benefits of Unbundled Services:

We offer the option for clients to retain our services on a limited retainer basis, also known as unbundled legal services. The potential  advantages to you are:

  • Costs: Your decisions about what you need professional help with can minimize your costs.
  • Control: You decide what issues and steps with which you want us involved.

 

Examples of unbundled services for self-represented parties :

  • Drafting court documents (pleadings, conference briefs, affidavits, notices of motion, etc.) and filing same;
  • Consulting on a specific issue;
  • Preparing you for court appearances, mediation, and examinations; and
  • Appearing with you in court for conferences, motions, trial, etc.
  • Preparing memorandums of law
  • Assist in drafting parenting plans
  • Assist in preparing a financial statement
  • Assist with what disclosure is necessary 
  • Drafting a separation agreement

 

The Way Unbundled Services Work:

Your lawyer will act as your agent in a court proceeding and not your lawyer of record. Your lawyer can advise and represent you, but you (and not your lawyer) will be the point of contact for the other side (unless you decide otherwise). This can reduce the costs and enable you to do some of the work on your own when you are comfortable doing so
