Robert's primary office is at 55 King St., St. Catharines, ON, L2R 6Z1. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Robert for a adr case?

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

• Does Robert offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Is Robert accepting new adr clients right now?

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