Orvel's primary office is at 255 17th Ave. S.W., Ste. 300, Calgary, AB, T2S 3B6. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Orvel for a entertainment case?

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

• Does Orvel offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Is Orvel accepting new entertainment clients right now?

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