FAQs
What makes Angrove Law different from a traditional family law firm?
We’re a virtual, founder-led Ontario family law practice built around predictable flat fees and zero retainers. You know the full price upfront, you don’t get nickel-and-dimed for emails or phone calls, and you work directly with a senior lawyer instead of a rotating cast of associates and paralegals.
How does your flat-fee pricing work?
We quote one all-inclusive price for your matter before you sign anything. That price covers the full scope of work, including drafting, revisions, meetings, and finalizing. There are no hourly bills, no surprise disbursements, and no invoices at the end. If something genuinely changes the scope, we tell you exactly what it costs before we do the work.
Do you charge a retainer?
No. Most family law firms ask for a $5,000 to $10,000 retainer just to open a file, then bill against it hourly until it runs out. We don’t. Our flat fee is paid in stages tied to the work itself, so you never hand over a deposit and watch it disappear on phone calls and emails.
What types of matters do you handle?
We focus on Ontario family law agreements: marriage contracts (prenuptial agreements), cohabitation agreements, separation agreements, and independent legal advice (ILA). Each service has a published flat-fee price so you can see exactly what your matter will cost before you book a call.
What does working with Angrove Law actually look like?
Everything is virtual. You book a free intake call, sign a clear flat-fee engagement letter, and share your information through a secure client portal. From there we draft, revise, and finalize over video meetings on a schedule that fits around your life. Most agreements are signed and done within two to four weeks.
Do I have to live near your office to work with you?
No. We serve clients across Ontario through video meetings, secure document sharing, and electronic signing. Whether you’re in Toronto, Ottawa, Thunder Bay, or somewhere in between, the process is the same. You’ll never need to drive downtown to sign a piece of paper.
Why is a flat fee better than hourly billing for family law?
Hourly billing punishes the things you should be doing, like asking questions, taking the time to understand your agreement, and going back and forth on terms that actually matter to you. With a flat fee, you can call, email, and revise without a meter running. You get certainty on cost, faster decisions, and a lawyer whose incentive is to finish the work well, not to keep the file open.
