Client Relationships...
Depending on the nature, age, background, and size of your accounts, we will tailor design our services to your needs. As well, we can custom design our fee compensation to meet your needs. Whether it be fixed fees, a percentage of the monies collected, hourly rates or any combination of the above, we can design a fee arrangement that is mutually agreeable. It is important to have a fee structure that is not only fair to compensate our law firm but also a fee that makes you comfortable. It is vital to structure a fee that is fair to our firm having regard to the anticipated time, effort, expense and expertise that will likely be required to make a proper determined effort to collect your accounts. At the same time we realize you are expense-conscience and you do not want to waste your hard-earned money. We understand that you do not want to "throw good money after bad." We know how to be creative. Better yet, in Ontario an unsuccessful debtor who has a judgment rendered against him can be required to pay not only interest on your debt but also part of your legal fees and court costs.
We are proud to sincerely advise you that our fee structure rates are not the lowest nor the highest, but the fairest. The fees are designed to get the job done! The proof is in the fact that we are honoured that most of our clients are long term continuing clients who are repeated "satisfied customers." For a lawyer-client relationship to be successful, it must be mutually beneficial and be based on mutual trust, respect, and co-operation.
Client Communications...
In order to achieve consistency and efficiency, it is our practice to assign specific and dedicated lawyers and law clerks to your accounts. In this way, we provide you with identifiable contact persons to deal with your accounts and your staff. We would be pleased to implement any innovative system or reporting techniques, which you may require. Our staff will liaison and report to your staff and respond to your inquiries. Our staff will keep you advised of developments and the status of your accounts.
