Katia's primary office is at 1 Address Unknown, Montreal, QC. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Katia for a bankruptcy case?

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

• Does Katia offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Is Katia accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

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