Review my FEES CAREFULLY.
I DO NOT take kindly to questions about FEES via telephone. I am a PRACTISING AND BUSY LAWYER, I do not have the time to repeat the FEES clearly listed on this website. I am a sole practitioner. I work alone. I often have a very busy schedule helping clients. It is rude and unprofessional to be constantly picking up phone calls answering questions about fees while providing legal services to clients. You would not want a lawyer to be distracted answering phone calls while helping you with your case. Also, I aim to not wasting your time and my time by disclosing everything about my fees and services as well as all the answers to all the questions you could ever think about notarization, authentication, legalization and apostille procedures on my website. Any other questions you may have or a request for an appointment can be done through the more efficient means by texting 647-209-7389 or email vinhtranlaw@hotmail.com.
Please use TEXT and Email for Inquiries and Appointments. DO NOT CALL. Telephone calls are reserved for emergencies, current and previous clients, domestic and international government agencies and authorities, court staff and opposing counsels/parties. APPOINTMENTS AND INQUIRIES MUST BE VIA TEXT 647-209-7389 OR EMAIL vinhtranlaw@hotmail.com. I do not take kindly to questions about fees via telephone. If you need clarifications about fees please do so via Text or Email.
It is important that my phone line is available so that I can communicate with the receiving agencies who may wish to verify my status and your notarized documents. You will appreciate this request when you become one of my clients.

Client: Cool, see you later.
Scenario 2:
Client: Hi Mr. Tran, can you email me a sample Affidavit?
Lawyer: Call me Vinh please. We are not in court and you are not an opposing party. In any event, please see the attached Affidavit. You will need to make the appropriate revisions to fit your situation. If you need a final critique just email it back to me.

Lawyer: Affirmative and thank you. See you tomorrow at your place. Vinh

PARKING: Free parking available at Starbucks and across at Loblaws.
DO NOT BE LATE: Please CALL 647-209-7389 or TEXT 647-209-7389 or email vinhtranlaw@hotmail.com in advance if you know you will be late, exp. "Vinh, I'm going to be late. Can we meet 10 minutes later than the appointment time?" is suffice. All I am asking for is giving me notice prior to the appointment time. When you are late for your appointment you are making me late for my other appointments. Please use Google Maps for ETA estimate time of arrival. When you indicate that you are 10 minutes away, it means 10 minutes away. It does not mean 11 minutes or 30 minutes away. Being late is understandable. However, there is no excuse for not being able to give advance notice. I do not need apologies and excuses. I just need advance notice that you will be late. I do not entertain the waiting game. I DO NOT TOLERATE PEOPLE WHO ARE LATE TO THEIR OWN APPOINTMENTS. I DO NOT OPERATE LIKE OTHER LAW OFFICES WHERE YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR ME TO GET AROUND SERVING YOU. I EXPECT THE SAME RESPECT FOR MY TIME. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THIS POLICY THEN PLEASE CONTINUE TO SEARCH ELSEWHERE FOR ANOTHER LAWYER WHO CAN HELP YOU. I am always on time. If you are requesting for me to meet with someone for a notarization in an office setting, that person should not make me wait, my time is not less important than that person's time. I will always be early to a meeting, unless you are willing to pay me by the hour, please do not make me wait a minute longer than the scheduled time. A minute gone can never be regained by any force on earth. I will not engage with persons who do not respect my time. I will advise that you seek another lawyer for help who may be more forgiving of time wasted.

"The while we keep a man waiting, he reflects on our shortcomings" French Proverb
EARLY ARRIVAL: Please text 647-209-7389 or email vinhtranlaw@hotmail.com once you arrived at the designated location and I will be right over.
MISSED APPOINTMENT: Missed appointment without prior notice will get an invoice for time wasted and your contact will be placed on a blacklist until payment is made to my office. Until then, I would suggest contacting another lawyer who is more forgiving of time wasted.
