FAQs About Toronto Employment Lawyers
✅ What Does “No Fee Unless We Win” Mean?
For many severance and termination cases, we don’t charge upfront. You only pay if we recover money for you. Not all matters qualify — it depends on your case.
✅ Do You Always Offer Free Consultations?
We offer free consultations for many employment law matters, especially involving wrongful dismissal, termination without cause, and severance package reviews.
However, some legal issues may require a fee for a detailed assessment. The cost varies depending on the matter and legal representative.
