What Happens After The Initial Meeting?
Before you decide to hire a lawyer at Kahane Law you have the opportunity to review your lawyer’s plan in detail, including the fees. Your lawyer reviews the issues and options discussed in your initial consultation, crafts a plan that is tailored to your particular situation, and then sends it to you in writing. This ensures that you know exactly what your lawyer is working on for you, and the plan for the next steps.

How Do We Bill Our Clients?
At Kahane Law Office’ Edmonton location, we do not bill by the hour – except in very rare and/or urgent circumstances.
Instead, we use subscription billing for most family law services, and “set-fee billing” for almost all other services we offer. Click here to learn about our Family Law Subscription Plan.
For set-fee billing, after your initial consultation, your lawyer will prepare a Scope of Work that details the plan for moving your matter forward, along with the associated fees. Before you pay any of your retainer you will have the opportunity to review the plan and fees, and decide if you want to proceed. The Scope of Work details EXACTLY what you are paying for, and the fees reflect the VALUE of the services you are receiving – not how long it takes for the lawyer to provide those services. This encourages efficiency. No surprises on your bill. No charges for phone calls, emails, paperclips, or photocopies.
This may seem like the obvious model for buying legal services, but most Edmonton Law Firms still use the billable hour for most services.

How Do We Communicate With Our Clients?
We are obsessed with customer service. Because of this, we developed our system for making sure you always know what is going on with your matter. You will receive updates as your lawyer completes the tasks listed in your plan, which allows you to follow along with the progress of your matter. You always know what is supposed to be happening next. Also, we have safe-guards in place that make sure no 30 day period ever lapses without your lawyer reviewing your file to make sure it is progressing as planned and that you are updated if it is not.
Further, if for any reason you would like an update about your matter, you are free to email or call without the fear of being billed for it (we don’t bill for things like that – unless responding to you becomes a hindrance to carrying out your plan). You will receive a response within 1 business day.
