While the exact cost of legal services is often difficult to estimate (particularly with litigation matters), our Starter Packages are designed to provide you with an initial assessment of your matter and to give you a better idea of the potential costs going forward either by way of an estimate or a fixed-fee quote (depending on whether your matter is eligible for fixed-fee billing). This approach allows you to set a budget and discuss with our firm whether a full-service approach or a limited-scope approach may make the most sense for your situation.
After your starter plan and assuming a full-service approach by our firm, a standard residential tenancy matter resolved through the Residential Tenancy Branch (RTB) will range roughly between $4,000-7,000 in legal fees (exclusive of taxes and matter expenses) while a standard strata property matter resolved through the Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT) will range roughly between $6,000-9,000 in legal fees (exclusive of taxes and matter expenses). Matters before the BC Supreme Court will often exceed $10,000 in legal fees (exclusive of taxes and matter expenses) depending on the type of matter. These price ranges are provided to give you a general idea of legal costs in standard matters but do NOT serve as a quote or estimate of the legal fees for your matter for which the fees may be far more or less than for standard matters.
