About Smith & Little LLP
We are a Calgary-based law firm focused on serving busy professionals with their family law matters and civil litigation. We strive to help our clients resolve their disputes with integrity by helping them make informed choices using objective decision-making.
We prevent and resolve our clients' conflicts through effective communication, negotiation, and where necessary through litigation.
Family law disputes are often confusing and overwhelming. We are here to eliminate the confusion, guide you through the process and protect your interests at the end of your relationship. When emotions are high, rational decision-making can be compromised and costly mistakes are often made. We are here to be your objective mind and help you think through difficult decisions with your head, not your heart. We don't want anger, hurt, passion or love clouding your judgment when important decisions regarding yourself and your children are at stake. We look out for your best interests and guide you to make informed choices and create clear plans now and for the future.
Our family law services are available on an exciting new value based fee pricing structure. We offer two types of value based fee rates: a la carte pricing and prix fixe pricing. Our goal is to offer clear, transparent, and predictable pricing despite the complexity of family law cases. Most clients with complex or unpredictable matters will use a la carte pricing, while our prix fixe options are great for clients you need one particular task completed and appreciate the certainty of a set fee.
Our civil litigation services focus on start-ups, small, and medium sized companies facing contentious disputes. We also serve a limited number of individuals dealing with significant legal issues in the Court of Queen's Bench.
We take the time to understand your business and motivations and help craft a solution that makes sense for your from a business and financial perspective.
