Law Society of Manitoba
Partner
Partner at Progressive Legal Solutions LLP. Files are his from the first meeting through to close - with a written scope and a fee estimate before you retain us.
Background
Sushil Simoliya is a partner at Progressive Legal Solutions LLP and takes matters across all six of the firm's practice areas. Whichever partner you see, the lawyer at the first consultation is the lawyer who knows your file at every stage afterwards, and the one accountable for its progress.
Every matter starts the same way - listening first, then a written scope of work and an estimated fee before you retain the firm. From there you get candid advice about the strengths, the risks, the likely cost and the realistic next step, in plain language rather than in legal drafting. Where a matter can be resolved by agreement, that is where it goes; where it needs to be litigated, the preparation is done early rather than in the final month.
Consultations are available in English or Hindi, in person at 201 Portage Avenue, or by telephone or video conference where travelling downtown is difficult.
Writing
A separation agreement can resolve property, support and parenting in one document - but only if it is drafted to survive later scrutiny. Here is what belongs in one.
Manitoba's no-fault system means your benefits depend heavily on what you document in the first week. A practical list of what to do, and what not to sign.
Land transfer tax, title registration, adjustments and legal fees. What each item is, roughly what it costs, and which ones are negotiable.
These three terms are used interchangeably and mean different things. Bringing the wrong one to an embassy or a bank costs you a second trip.
Appointments
Consultations at the firm are booked with Sushil Simoliya, Partner and primary counsel, who takes the first meeting on most matters. To reach Sushil Simoliya directly, email sushils@plslaw.ca or call (204) 800-5163.
