Denis's primary office is at 239 Wellington, Ottawa, ON, K1A 0H8. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Denis for a international case?

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

• Does Denis offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Is Denis accepting new international clients right now?

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