- Get the fee arrangement in writing: hourly, flat or contingency, and which costs are charged on top.
- Ask how and how often the firm will update you, and how fast it answers calls and emails.
- Read recent reviews for how the firm communicated and billed, not only for outcomes.
- Ask how often the firm handles your kind of matter, and whether it would refer it elsewhere.
- Meet more than one firm; many offer a short first consultation, sometimes free.

Do general practice lawyers outside Markham count in this ranking?
Yes, if they are within 40 km of the Markham city centre, our service radius for general practice lawyers. Each listing shows where the law firm is based and how far away it is. Proximity is 5% of the LFR Score, so a nearby law firm gets a small edge.

When is a general practice lawyer a good fit?
For common matters such as wills, home purchases, small business contracts or minor disputes, especially in smaller cities. For complex cases, ask how often the firm handles your kind of matter. This is general information, not legal advice.
How is this list of general practice lawyers in Markham, ON ranked?
By LFR Score only, from public data on reviews, practice focus, office location and hours. Firms labelled “Attorney advertising” paid for that placement; payment never changes a rank, and a rank is not an endorsement.
Does a lawyer need an office in Markham?
No, but the lawyer must be licensed in your province (or, for federal matters such as immigration, in some province). A local office makes meetings and court appearances easier, so proximity is one of our factors.
