Sophie's primary office is at 600 de la Gauchetière Street West, Suite 2400, Montreal, QC, H3B 4L8. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Sophie for a international case?

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

• Does Sophie offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Is Sophie accepting new international clients right now?

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