Cliff's primary office is at 45 O'Connor Street, Suite 2000, World Exchange Plaza, Ottawa, ON, K1P 1A4. 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 Cliff usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Cliff 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 Cliff for a business case?

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

• Does Cliff offer a free consultation?

  Cliff charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Cliff's office. Some business attorneys offer free consults — check Cliff'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. Cliff gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

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

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

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

• Is Cliff accepting new business clients right now?

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