FEES
About our Fees
At Neff Law Office Professional Corporation, our philosophy is one of simple, predictable and ‘no-surprise' legal bills. In most cases, you will know exactly how much you will be paying for our legal services because we offer a ‘flat fee' for specific work such as drafting a will, or creating a power of attorney. When the legal service you require is more complex, and we are not able to predict the time needed for the tasks, our fees will be calculated based on time (hours) spent on your file. Our hourly rates are based on the team member who works on your file. For information on team member hourly rates, please contact us.

Retainers and Disbursements
In many cases, we require a retainer before we begin work on your behalf. A retainer is a form
of deposit. It is placed into our trust account and used as a credit that, in most cases, is applied
to disbursements (our out-of-pocket expenses) and to your final bill. The amount of the retainer depends on the work to be done.
As your file progresses, we pay for disbursements (out-of-pocket expenses) on your behalf. These can include registration or filing fees, long-distance telephone charges, special postage or courier fees, parking, and similar charges.
Important Points to Note
We are required by law to charge GST on our fees and on many of our expenses.
Our accounts are due on receipt of your invoice; interest accrues on the unpaid balance
after 30 days unless other arrangements have been made..
You may pay by cheque, cash, debit card, or credit card.
Please contact us if you have any questions about our fees. We look forward to hearing from you.
