Fees 

Below are examples of my fees for different types of matters. As a general rule I charge about $350.00 per hour with GST added. Some matters I can charge a fixed rate while on other times it is largely dependent on your instructions and the other party as to the cost. It is difficult to provide an exact amount as they can become more or less expensive due to circumstances beyond my control.
