Raphaël's primary office is at 1 Unknown, Montreal, QC, H3B 5H4. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Raphaël for a entertainment case?

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

• Does Raphaël offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Is Raphaël accepting new entertainment clients right now?

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