Jean-Rene's primary office is at The Stock Exchange Tower, Suite 3700, 800 Victoria Square, Montreal, QC, H4Z 1E9. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Jean-Rene for a business case?

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

• Does Jean-Rene offer a free consultation?

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

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

  Simple business 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. Jean-Rene gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Jean-Rene take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Jean-Rene evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Jean-Rene'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 Jean-Rene?

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

• Is Jean-Rene accepting new business clients right now?

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