In order to ensure our availablity to a variety of clients, we are always open to discussing alternative billing options. These might include deferred payment, value added billing, exchange of trade, or in some instances, taking equity in lieu of fees. If you think you might be interested in any of the above options, please give us a call or write us an email to discuss your business and your needs.

What if I just 'go it alone' for now, and then consult a lawyer later on when a problem arises?

The services of a lawyer are expensive. At Patriquin Law, we know that many small and medium sized businesses have a difficult time accepting the high fees associated with hiring a lawyer, and sometimes prefer to 'go it alone' in order to save money. Unfortunately, this decision has been the 'death knell' for many businesses. Hiring a lawyer to deal with a existing problem is typically far more expensive than hiring a lawyer to identify possible problems before they arise. In addition, there are usually fewer options available to a lawyer in solving a problem than avoiding one. Never is the saying more true that 'an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure' than in the relationship between a business and its lawyer.
