Alain's primary office is at 300 Leo-Pariseau St., Montreal, QC, H2W 2N1. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

Working with a new employment attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Alain usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Alain discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in employment practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Alain for a employment case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Alain walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Alain offer a free consultation?

  Alain charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Alain's office. Some employment attorneys offer free consults — check Alain's current terms during booking.

• How long do employment cases in this state typically take?

  Simple employment matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Alain gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Alain take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Alain evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Alain's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Alain?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Alain will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Alain accepting new employment clients right now?

  Alain's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
