how to best provide services to clients.  This page also includes some basic descriptions of our different services
and practice areas, while more detailed descriptions can be found on the separate pages dedicated to particular
services and areas of the law.  Although we have tried to cover most of our practice areas in this Website, it is
not really practical to describe every type of service we can provide and every area of the law in which we have
experience.  We have a great deal of experience in many areas, so even if you don’t see your particular type of
transaction, legal issue or other matter specifically mentioned here, there is still a good chance that we will be
able to assist you.  So please contact us and we will be happy to answer your questions, discuss your situation
and see how we can be of service to you.

What We Provide and What Every Client Deserves - is representation by an experienced,
highly skilled and knowledgeable attorney, who will give your matters their personal attention and
the highest priority, who will be extremely responsive and personally accessible to you, and who
possesses the level of knowledge, experience, skills and judgment necessary to effectively promote
your legal, business and personal interests, while protecting your rights.
  We believe that each and
every client who brings their legal matters to us deserves the personal attention of a highly skilled and
experienced attorney, as opposed to a junior attorney, paralegal, or legal assistant, like you might get at other
law firms, who simply don’t possess the same level of knowledge, experience, skills and judgment.

Our Fees – - – Are Reasonable -  At the same time, we endeavor to provide our services at reasonable
rates and in a cost-conscious and cost-effective manner
, and we believe we can provide these high
quality services at rates that are significantly less than what you could expect to pay for a similarly experienced
attorney at a larger firm.  One advantage we have is that we don’t have the same high overhead costs (not to
mention large senior partner salaries) as larger law firms, so we are able to charge lower rates and pass these
savings on to our clients.

How We Represent CLIENTS And Our Emphasis On Accessibility and
communication
 - We provide zealous representation of our clients and will work diligently to promote your
legal and businesses interests and protect your rights.  We also believe that accessibility and communication are
key factors in providing the best services to our clients.  Therefore, one of our main objectives is to make sure
that clients have easy access to their attorney throughout the time that we are representing and providing
services to them.

Our Experience and capabilities - We have a great deal of experience providing legal services and
counselling in many areas of the law and representing a variety of clients in literally hundreds of transactions and
legal matters, ranging from fairly routine matters to sophisticated and complex multi-million dollar Business,
Commercial Real Estate and Commercial Finance Transactions.  Thus, although we are not a large firm, we still
have the ability to handle large and complex matters and transactions, because we have the same high level of
experience and sophistication that you might only expect to find at a large law firm (and without charging big firm
rates).

Disputes and dispute resolution

Unfortunately, disagreements and disputes are a part of life, whether they occur in a Business, Consumer or a
Personal context.  It is equally unfortunate that many disagreements and disputes can become major distractions
and disruptions to our business and personal endeavors and can end up taking a considerable amount of time,
trouble and expense to resolve.  However, we believe that many of these costs can be greatly reduced if one or
more of the parties are represented by a competent attorney who is experienced in resolving disputes, and also
a creative problem solver, because sometimes solutions can be found that are not initially or easily apparent to
the parties themselves.  We have a good deal of experience representing Businesses, Business Owners,
Individuals and other parties in a broad range of disputes and believe that we are skilled in finding solutions that
are in the best interests of our clients, while hopefully keeping the time, trouble and monetary costs to a minimum.

We also have experience with Alternative Dispute Resolution processes such as Mediation and Arbitration, which
can often expedite solutions to disputes that would probably take much longer and be more costly to resolve
through the traditional Litigation process.

In sum, we are confident that we can help you resolve your dispute, be it of a Commercial, Consumer or Personal
nature, in a more satisfactory and cost effective way than might otherwise be the case. We also specialise in shareholder rights, and can offer ways to resolve disputes between shareholders and companies.

As is the case with all of our services and Practice Areas, our mission is to provide our clients with high quality
legal services and effective representation by an experienced, highly skilled and knowledgeable
attorney, who will be extremely responsive and accessible to you, who will give your matters
personal attention and the highest priority, and who possesses the level of knowledge, experience,
skills and judgment necessary to effectively promote your legal, business and personal interests,
while protecting your rights.
  At the same time, we endeavor to provide these services at reasonable rates
and in a cost-conscious, cost-effective and service-oriented manner
.

Wills and Power of Attorney

We recognize that in today’s world it is possible for non-lawyers to create certain types of
legal documents themselves by using various “self-serve” and “one size fits all” websites and forms.  However,
we feel that in many cases it is still preferable to use a qualified attorney to prepare legal documents.  A qualified
attorney can help ensure that the appropriate documents are properly drafted and filed correctly, as well as
explain and answer questions about the content and implications of the documentation.  Thus, we believe that
enlisting the help of a competent attorney can prove to be a very worthwhile investment given the importance of
these matters and the peace of mind you will have if you involve an attorney rather than trying to do things on
your own.

However, we also believe that an attorney should be able to perform these services at affordable rates.
Therefore, we strive to perform these services at a reasonable cost that is not prohibitively more expensive
than “self-serve” and “one size fits all” websites and forms

We can prepare a new Will or review and update an existing Will for you and/or other members of your
family.  We will explain the Will preparation and signing process in simple terms and go over the contents of the
Will with you, so that you will actually understand what it says and we can answer questions that you may have.

For the same reasons, we feel it is
advisable to have an attorney involved in the preparation of other types of personal legal documents.  Again, we
believe that using an attorney is a very worthwhile investment given the importance of these matters and the
peace of mind you will have if you involve an attorney rather than trying to do everything yourself.  We can
explain the document preparation and signing process in simple terms and go over the contents of the document
or documents with you so that you will understand the purpose and meaning of the language that is used, and
answer questions that you may have.
