…I need a lawyer
Most people deal with lawyers infrequently, if at all. When they do need a lawyer, they may be unsure how to proceed.
It is important to contact a lawyer immediately after becoming aware of a potential legal issue to ensure that the time limit to start a claim, issue a lawsuit or file a defence does not run out. These time limits are set out in certain laws and regulations, often referred to as “statutes of limitations.” The applicable time limit depends upon the facts and type of each case. In some circumstances, the law requires notification within an extremely short period of time. This time period could be as little as a few weeks or months, so it is important to act fast.
The process of hiring a lawyer may vary slightly between firms, but generally follows the same steps. At Daniel & Partners, potential clients contact us to set up an initial consultation. The legal issue you require assistance with will determine which laywer is best suited for your consultation. Each of our lawyers’ areas of specialization are detailed in their profiles: click here. We recommend you bring all relevant documentation to the consultation.
The purpose of the initial consultation is to discuss the legal issue. The lawyer may provide a preliminary opinion, suggest possible options, and, if necessary, discuss continuing service to be performed.
We provide free consultations for personal injury claims. For other issues, the cost of a consultation varies based on the lawyer and the subject matter. Contact us to set up an appointment for a consultation.
