Gilles's primary office is at 359 Place Royale, Montreal, QC, H2Y 3V3. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Gilles for a government case?

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

• Does Gilles offer a free consultation?

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

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

  Simple government 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. Gilles gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

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

  Gilles evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Gilles'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 Gilles?

  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. Gilles will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Gilles accepting new government clients right now?

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