New Reduced Consult Rates for Family and Divorce Clients
I’ve been devoting a lot of volunteer time to my profession over the past few years. This past February, I completed approximately 6 years of service as a Bencher with the Law Society of Alberta. I am also former Chair of the Law Matters Editorial Board, Co-Creator and Chair of the Alberta Limited Legal Services Project, and currently sit as Chair of the Advisory Board for the National Self-Represented Litigants Project.
At the core of that volunteer time has been a sense that lawyers need to do their best to make their profession better. I have a desire to improve the condition of our clients who have to grapple with various legal concerns, particularly in family law.
Considering this significant donation of my time ($250,000.00 in billable time this past year alone), it struck me that while doing “big picture work” is valuable, to a great extent I was continuing to deliver legal service to my own clients largely as I have for the past 32 years, with my hourly rate creeping up as my experience increased.
So – anyway – this past month, I met with my fellow family lawyers here at Huckvale LLP, and suggested we reduce our rates for initial consultations.
To be sure – we couldn’t just offer to meet with everyone for free to answer their questions – but if I was going to give away a lot of time to various projects, why not sell some of my time at a discount to give people some initial advice.
As a result, all of the lawyers at Huckvale LLP are now providing divorce and family law consultations at a fixed fee of $300 plus GST for one hour (a reduction of 40% from my current billable hourly rate.
We have four very capable family lawyers – I would suggest among the most experienced in Southern Alberta. And we are all ready and willing to meet with you to answer your questions or concerns on family law matters.
