More about Herbert
How it works
A clear path forward.
Legal matters can feel uncertain. Our process is designed to replace that uncertainty with information, options and a plan.
01
Listen first
We start with your story, your documents and your goals. No assumptions — just careful attention.
02
Build the strategy
You receive a clear assessment of your options, likely next steps, timing and fees before work begins.
03
Move forward
We handle the work, keep you informed and adapt the plan as your matter evolves.
Let’s talk
The law can be complex. Your experience shouldn’t be.
A conversation is the best place to start. Tell us a little about your matter and we will help you understand the next step.
Common questions
Questions, answered.
Every matter is different. These answers offer a starting point — we are happy to discuss your specific circumstances directly.
What should I bring to my first consultation?
Bring any documents that relate to your matter — agreements, correspondence, court documents, notices, property records or timelines. If you are unsure what is relevant, bring what you have. We can help identify what is missing.
How are your fees determined?
Fees depend on the nature and complexity of the matter. We discuss the fee structure openly before any work begins and provide a written retainer agreement where appropriate. You will never be left guessing about how you are being billed.
Do you offer virtual consultations?
Yes. We offer in-person meetings at our Toronto office as well as virtual consultations by appointment. If you prefer to meet remotely, let us know when you get in touch and we will arrange the details.
How quickly will I hear back?
We aim to respond to all enquiries promptly during regular business hours. If your matter is urgent, please call the office and say so when you reach us, so we can advise on availability.
Is my information confidential?
We treat every enquiry with care. However, submitting the website contact form does not create a solicitor-client relationship. Please avoid sending highly sensitive or confidential details through the form until we confirm that we are able to act for you.
