Our Approach
A clear and collaborative process designed for your peace of mind.
Demystifying the Legal Process
Legal matters can often feel complex and intimidating. At Fortis Law LLP, we believe in a transparent, step-by-step approach that keeps you informed and in control. Our process is built on a foundation of clear communication and proactive strategy, ensuring there are no surprises along the way. We work with you, not just for you.
Our 3-Step Process
Consult: Understanding Your Needs
Every successful engagement begins with a thorough understanding of your situation. The initial consultation is a confidential discussion where we listen carefully to your goals, gather the essential facts, and answer your preliminary questions. This foundational step allows us to assess the matter and determine the best path forward.
Plan: A Clear Strategy & Fee Outline
After the consultation, we develop a concise, written strategy. This plan outlines our recommended course of action, explores potential options and outcomes, and provides a clear, transparent fee structure. You will receive a written estimate before we begin any work, ensuring you have a complete picture of the scope and cost involved.
Act: Diligent Execution & Communication
With your approval, we execute the agreed-upon plan. Throughout this stage, we maintain open lines of communication, providing you with regular, meaningful updates on our progress. We remain agile, ready to adjust the strategy as needed, and are always available to answer your questions as the matter evolves.
Our Fee Philosophy: Predictable & Transparent
We believe that legal fees should be as clear and predictable as the advice we provide. We are committed to transparency in all our billing practices to eliminate financial uncertainty for our clients.
- Written Estimates: You will always receive a written estimate before we begin work.
- Flat-Fee Options: Where possible, we offer flat-fee and staged-fee packages, particularly for routine matters like real estate closings and LTB applications.
- No Surprise Invoices: We will inform you immediately if the scope of a matter changes and requires an adjustment to the initial estimate.
