Civil litigation involves resolving legal disputes between individuals and organizations through negotiation, mediation, or the court process. We represent clients in a wide range of matters, including property disputes, negligence claims, and other general civil conflicts.

From the early stages of a dispute through to trial, we provide clear guidance and strong advocacy at every step. Our approach is practical and results-driven, with a focus on protecting our clients’ rights and achieving timely, cost-effective outcomes.

We work for businesses and individuals in complex commercial disputes, including breach of contract, business torts, partnership and shareholder disputes, and fraud claims, at all stages of litigation.

If you've been hurt through someone else's negligence or wrongdoing, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and the long-term impact on your life and family. At Zamani Advocates, we represent injured plaintiffs across a broad range of personal injury matters, including motor vehicle collisions, slip and fall accidents, occupiers' liability claims, dog bites, product liability, medical malpractice, long-term disability denials, and catastrophic injuries involving brain, spinal cord, or other serious trauma.

We handle personal injury claims on a contingency fee basis - you pay no legal fees up front unless we recover compensation on your behalf.

Contingency Fee Disclosure

Maximum Contingency Fee Rate
Our maximum contingency fee rate is 33% (plus HST).

Fee Range and Factors
Our fees typically range from 25% to 33%, depending on the complexity and risk of your case. The specific percentage charged often depends on the stage of the proceeding at which the matter is resolved:

• Early Settlement (Pre-Litigation): Cases that resolve before a legal claim is issued or early in the process generally fall at the lower end of our range (25%).

• Mid-Litigation: Cases that settle after discoveries but before a trial date is set typically fall in the middle of our range.

• Trial or Appeal: If your case requires a full trial or involves an appeal, the fee will reach our maximum rate of 33% to reflect the significantly increased time, risk, and resources required.

Additional Information

• Disbursements: In addition to the legal fee, clients may be responsible for disbursements (out-of-pocket expenses such as court filing fees, medical records, and expert reports) and applicable taxes.
