Kimberly's primary office is at BCE Place, Suite 2500, 181 Bay Street, Toronto, ON, M5J 2T7. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Kimberly for a ip case?

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

• Does Kimberly offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Is Kimberly accepting new ip clients right now?

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