Markus's primary office is at Brookfield Place, Suite 4400, 181 Bay Street, Toronto, ON, M5J 2T3. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Markus for a business case?

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

• Does Markus offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Is Markus accepting new business clients right now?

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