Miles's primary office is at 222 -20 Coachway Rd., S.W., Calgary, AB, T3H 1E6. 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 Miles usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Miles 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 Miles for a general case?

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

• Does Miles offer a free consultation?

  Miles charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Miles's office. Some general attorneys offer free consults — check Miles'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. Miles gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

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

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

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

• Is Miles accepting new general clients right now?

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