Andrea's primary office is at 1155 Rene-Levesque Blvd. West, 40th Floor, Montreal, QC, H3B 3V2. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Andrea for a business case?

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

• Does Andrea offer a free consultation?

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

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

  Simple business 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. Andrea gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

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

  Andrea evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Andrea'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 Andrea?

  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. Andrea will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Andrea accepting new business clients right now?

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