Your best option to understand your legal issue and have a lawyer roadmap your next steps.
Our payment system is designed for your convenience and transparency. Unlike traditional law firms that often require upfront retainers, you only pay for your services once they are fully delivered. Plus, you will always know the cost beforehand.
We accept all major credit cards and pre-authorized debits. If you require alternative payment methods such as wire transfers or payment plans, our dedicated Legal Concierge™ team is ready to assist with tailored solutions.
Is Goodlawyer a law firm?
No. Goodlawyer is a law company and our network of lawyers consists of solos and small firms with independent practices. We are not a law firm and do not provide any legal services, legal advice or ‘lawyer referral services,’ nor do we provide or participate in any legal representation.
How do project quotes work?
After your consultation, you'll receive a free, no-obligation quote detailing your recommended services. You have the freedom to accept the quote and initiate the legal work at your convenience. This system is designed to give you control over your legal expenses and timing, ensuring a transparent and client-centric approach to legal services.
What makes our lawyers better?
We’re exceptionally proud of our diverse, experienced, and forward-thinking community of 140+ lawyers across Canada. Most of our lawyers bring over a decade of experience from prominent law firms, in-house positions, and solo practices, covering a wide range of industries and legal areas. This depth of experience is particularly beneficial for Canadian startups, as our lawyers are well-versed in the unique challenges and dynamics faced by emerging businesses.
Our community stands out for its inclusivity, with over 50% of our lawyers being women or members of equity-deserving groups, which far exceeds the national average for legal professionals. This diversity reflects our commitment to equity and also ensures a broad range of viewpoints and approaches to better serve our customers.
