Our Fees
How we charge
The early agreement as to the anticipated costs of a matter is essential to us at Armstrong Kutz Lawyers.
A discussion relating to costs is encouraged from the outset of each engagement, as the factors applying to costs vary.
In many cases, we are able to provide a fixed fee quote. In other situations, an hourly rate will apply.
