Ian's primary office is at 3400 One First Canadian Place, Toronto, ON, M5X 1A4. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Ian for a aviation case?

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

• Does Ian offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Is Ian accepting new aviation clients right now?

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