Eileen's primary office is at Brookfield Place, 181 Bay Street, Suite 1800, Toronto, ON, M5J 2T9. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

Working with a new general attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Eileen usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Eileen discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in general practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Eileen for a general case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Eileen walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Eileen offer a free consultation?

  Eileen charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Eileen's office. Some general attorneys offer free consults — check Eileen's current terms during booking.

• How long do general cases in this state typically take?

  Simple general matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Eileen gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Eileen take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Eileen evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Eileen's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Eileen?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Eileen will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Eileen accepting new general clients right now?

  Eileen's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
