We help lawyers and members of the public by giving second opinions (will your case succeed?) and recommendations (what more can be done?) We draw on the knowledge we gain writing textbooks and maintaining websites for the education of the legal community across Canada. A preliminary opinion can be put together quickly.  We book a pair of appointments.  The first extends over three hours.  The second is shorter.  The first appointment is to collect facts and documents.  The second is to report on conclusions and recommendations.  Between the two appointments, we review documents, double check details, and check in-office legal resources.  A block fee can be quoted in advance for that process.  We protect the relationship between a referring lawyer and his or her client.
