Q: What should I do after a personal injury in Alberta?

After an accident or injury, seek medical help first, then contact Verhaeghe Law. Our legal team in Edmonton will evaluate your case, gather evidence, and help you pursue fair compensation. We work on contingency in most injury cases — meaning you don’t pay legal fees unless we win your case.

We focus on clear communication and fair outcomes while keeping your family’s well-being in mind. Whether your divorce is uncontested or complex, our lawyers will protect your interests from start to finish.

Q: What happens if my case goes to court in Alberta?

If your legal matter proceeds to court, our lawyers will guide you through each step — from filings and discovery to hearings and trial. We aim to protect your rights and prepare you thoroughly for what to expect. Many cases can still be resolved through negotiation or mediation, helping you avoid lengthy court processes when possible.

Q: How much does it cost to hire a lawyer in Edmonton or Alberta?

Legal fees depend on the type and complexity of your matter. At Verhaeghe Law, we provide transparent pricing and may offer hourly, flat, or contingency fee options depending on your case. During your initial consultation, we’ll outline expected costs and discuss ways to manage them efficiently.
