Kaitlin's primary office is at 1800 - 510 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 0M3. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Kaitlin for a insurance case?

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

• Does Kaitlin offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Is Kaitlin accepting new insurance clients right now?

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