Answers to common questions about working with Mida Law and about family law, wills and estates, and related services in Ontario. Everything here is general information — your situation may differ.
Frequently asked questions
Is the first consultation free?
Yes — the initial 30-minute consultation is free. It is a chance to describe your situation briefly, ask questions, and understand possible next steps. See Fees & Consultation.
Does contacting Mida Law make you my lawyer?
No. Contacting the firm, or attending a consultation, does not create a solicitor-client relationship. Representation begins only after the firm confirms in writing that it can act for you.
How much will my matter cost?
It depends on the situation. We aim to explain expected fees clearly before you decide to proceed, and we do not quote a fixed price without understanding your matter.
Can I get help with just part of my case?
Limited-scope options may be available for some matters. See Limited Scope Family Law.
Do I need a lawyer for a family law matter?
Not always — but legal guidance can help you understand your rights and avoid mistakes. Start with Family Law or Everyday Legal Problems.
What is the difference between separation and divorce?
Separation is living apart; divorce is the legal end of a marriage. Many issues — parenting, support, property — can be addressed either way. See Divorce and Separation Agreements.
Why do I need a will?
A will lets you decide how your estate is handled and can make things easier for your family; without one, Ontario’s default rules apply. See Wills & Estate Planning.
Can you prepare a will that reflects my faith?
Yes — wills can reflect Islamic principles and still be valid under Ontario law when properly prepared. See Islamic Wills.
What is independent legal advice (ILA)?
Advice from a lawyer acting only for you, so you understand an agreement before signing it. See Independent Legal Advice.
Can you notarize my document?
It depends on the document — not everything can be notarized in every circumstance. See Notary Services and contact us to confirm.
What should I prepare before a consultation?
A short summary of what is happening, key dates, any documents you already have, and your questions. Please keep details brief until a conflicts check is complete.
What if my issue is not something Mida Law handles?
We will tell you honestly, and where possible suggest where to look next. See Everyday Legal Problems for the issues this site covers.
Still have a question?
Ask us directly — request a consultation or send a message.
No legal advice. The information on this website is general in nature and not legal advice. Contacting Mida Law does not create a lawyer-client relationship.
