Civil Litigation: Common Questions
How long does a civil case take?
It depends on complexity and whether the matter settles. Many cases resolve before trial through negotiation or mediation. We give you a realistic timeline and strategy at the outset.
Is there a deadline to start a claim?
Yes. Ontario generally has a two-year limitation period from when you knew or ought to have known about the claim, with some exceptions. Missing it can bar your claim, so seek advice promptly.
Should I settle or go to trial?
Most disputes settle, and settlement is often faster and less costly than trial. We advise honestly on the strengths, risks, and costs so you can make an informed decision.
How much do you charge?
For most matters we work on a flat fee agreed in writing before any work begins, so you know the cost from the start rather than facing an open-ended hourly bill. For larger matters we can structure payment around milestones. Your first consultation is free, and you receive a clear breakdown of all fees up front.
Is my information confidential?
Yes. Everything you share is protected by solicitor-client privilege and stored on Canadian servers in compliance with PIPEDA.
How quickly will I hear back?
We aim to respond within one business day. For urgent or time-sensitive matters, call us directly.
