Five payment options

Which option fits your situation?

Option 1

Pay an outstanding invoice

You have received an invoice from the firm for services already rendered, and you want to pay it (in full or in part).

  • Professional services already delivered
  • Fees and disbursements documented on the invoice
  • Specific amount to be paid
Go to the invoice option
Option 2

Retainer deposited in trust

You wish to advance funds to the firm before or during the retainer. The funds are deposited into a trust account and applied against your fees as services are rendered.

  • Funds held in a trust account (protected account)
  • Released as services are billed
  • Any unused balance returned to you at the end of the file
Go to the trust option
Three other methods accepted. You can also pay by Interac e-Transfer to [email protected], by cheque made out to Boudreau avocats inc. (invoice) or Boudreau avocats inc. in trust (retainer in trust), or in cash directly at the office, with a receipt issued on the spot.

  • Suggested memo: your file number or the invoice number, in the e-Transfer message.
  • Suggested security question: "What is your last name?" — Answer: your own last name (the client's). This lets the firm quickly identify the sender of the transfer.
  • Confirmation: the transfer is generally received within minutes; a follow-up is sent by email.

Understanding the difference

Invoice vs trust — why are they not the same thing?

The distinction is important, both ethically and from an accounting standpoint.

  • Payment of an invoice settles an amount already owed for services rendered. The funds belong to the firm immediately.
  • A retainer deposited in trust remains your money until it is applied to a service actually delivered. It is held in a separate account, in accordance with the Regulation respecting Accounting and Standards of Professional Practice of Lawyers of the Quebec Bar.
"A trust deposit is not a payment to the firm — it is a deposit in your name, which the firm administers with care."
Not sure which to choose? If you have received an invoice with a number and a specific balance, choose option 1. If you do not yet have an invoice and the firm has asked you to provide a retainer, choose option 2. When in doubt, call 514 903-9922.
Useful information

What you should know before paying

  • Amount. You can pay in full or in part, as agreed with the firm.
  • Reference. Have your invoice or file number on hand so the payment can be applied promptly.
  • Timing. Online payments are generally credited within minutes, sometimes up to 24 hours depending on your bank. Cash payments are applied on the spot.
  • Currency. Payments are processed in Canadian dollars (CAD).
  • Taxes. Applicable taxes (GST / QST) are included on invoices, where applicable. Trust deposits are not taxable until they are applied to fees.
