Doug's primary office is at The Sterling Tower, 372 Bay Street, Suite 1000, Toronto, ON, M5H 2W9. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Doug for a litigation case?

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

• Does Doug offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Is Doug accepting new litigation clients right now?

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