Yves's primary office is at 101 N. Syndicate Ave., Thunder Bay, ON, P7C 3V5. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Yves for a environmental case?

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

• Does Yves offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Is Yves accepting new environmental clients right now?

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