Service Commitment
Clients deserve to have services provided to them in accordance with their expectations. This means that each client will know in advance what the cost of the service will likely be and the time frame it will take to complete it. Each client will also be provided with a candid opinion on the risks and rewards of following their intended course.
The firm's services are available to individuals, institutions, and other law firms, either as lead counsel, or in such subsidiary roles as providing opinions on legal points or secondary opinions and research.
By virtue of Peter's membership with the Nova Scotia Barristers Society, he is able to practice in all other provinces in Canada with the exception of the province of Quebec.
