Raymond's primary office is at 555 6th St., New Westminster, BC, V3L 4V4. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Raymond for a trusts case?

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

• Does Raymond offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Is Raymond accepting new trusts clients right now?

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