Hailee Penno, limited licensee.
Licensed by the Law Society of Saskatchewan for defined family-law services.

Simple, Fixed Fees

Not sure what you need?

Your services and professional fees are confirmed in writing. Additional work is discussed and agreed separately. Payment arrangements are set out in your engagement. Take the 2-minute quiz to find your fit, or see every package and price in one place.

Are you a law firm?

No. We are a limited legal licensee licensed through the Law Society of Saskatchewan. This means we can provide licensed legal advice and negotiate family agreements in uncontested matters, but we cannot provide litigation services or represent you in court. If your situation requires litigation, we'll refer you to a lawyer.

What does "limited licensee" mean?

A limited legal licensee is a professional licensed to practice law in a specific, limited scope. We are licensed to provide legal advice and negotiate family agreements for uncontested separations, divorces, parenting plans, and property division, but only where all parties are willing to cooperate. You do not need to agree on every term before calling. We assess fit and can advise and negotiate for one person within our licensed scope. Litigation and courtroom representation require a lawyer.

Do I need my own lawyer?

It's encouraged. Both parties are always encouraged to obtain independent legal advice before signing any agreement. Hailee provides that independent legal advice to one of you and prepares your agreement; we help the other party arrange their own independent review. We review the agreement with you in plain language. For an interspousal property agreement under section 38 of The Family Property Act, each spouse must make the required acknowledgment before a lawyer who does not represent the other spouse and has not taken the other spouse's acknowledgment. Peace can advise and draft within its licensed scope; we coordinate the required separate lawyers for those acknowledgments.

If only one of us is the client, is the other party protected?

Hailee works as the legal advisor for one of you. She gives that person independent legal advice and prepares your agreement. The other party is encouraged to get their own independent review, and we will refer them to their own qualified adviser for independent advice. For an interspousal property agreement under section 38 of The Family Property Act, each spouse must make the required acknowledgment before a lawyer who does not represent the other spouse and has not taken the other spouse's acknowledgment. Peace can advise and draft within its licensed scope; we coordinate the required separate lawyers for those acknowledgments.

What is the Peace Charter?

The Peace Charter is your personal roadmap to a finished agreement. Instead of a stack of legal disclosure demands, you get a clear, plain-language plan that shows where you are and exactly what is left. It lists what we need to draft your agreement, the documents to gather and the numbers to confirm, such as a home value, account balances, debt balances, and pension details, and where it helps, it points you to the right professional to get them. It turns the most stressful part, getting organized, into a simple checklist you work through at your own pace, and it organizes the financial disclosure a sound agreement depends on.

What is a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)?

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is a plain-language written summary of what the two of you have agreed. If you are mostly on the same page, we help you capture it and move to your formal agreement. If there are bigger gaps, we can facilitate a connection with a qualified neutral mediator in our professional network to help you both work toward agreement, and once you have, we formalize it. We do not act as the mediator, and the other person is encouraged to obtain their own independent legal advice.

Do you handle pensions and life insurance?

Yes. We negotiate and work through pension splits, deal with pension plans, and address life insurance policies as part of your agreement.

What about transferring or refinancing the family home?

Selling the home, or one of you buying the other out? We can help with that piece. Because a refinance or buyout involves money moving through a lawyer's trust account, that part of the closing is completed by a cooperating lawyer. It is an optional add-on, quoted for your specific situation, so you only pay for what you need.

Is there a solicitor-client relationship when I visit your website?

No. Browsing our website does not create a solicitor-client relationship. A relationship only begins when you formally engage our services and we agree to act for you.

What does it cost to talk to you first?

The 15-minute fit call is free. The 60-minute advice session starts at $179, with $179 off your package if you proceed. Prices exclude applicable taxes (GST & PST).

How is pricing structured?

Simple-base separation agreement work starts at $1,999 (drafting and finalizing included). Modules for children, property and support have their own starting fees; Hailee confirms the work and fixed fee in writing.

Why fixed-fee pricing?

Hourly billing creates uncertainty and can incentivize conflict. With fixed-fee pricing, you know your cost upfront, and we're motivated to reach fair, durable agreements efficiently. Your interests align with ours.

How long does the process take?

Timing depends on the information needed, the terms to resolve, signing requirements and any court processing. Hailee discusses the expected steps and timing for your file.

Is everything confidential?

Yes. We treat your information as confidential. Please note that solicitor-client privilege may not apply to communications with a limited licensee. We explain this and our scope before you engage us.

Do you serve all of Saskatchewan?

Hailee works with Saskatchewan clients by video, phone and email. She confirms the agreed work, fee and any separate signing or professional steps for your circumstances.

What if we can't agree on something?

If negotiations stall or the situation becomes contested, we'll discuss your options. In some cases, mediation can help. If the matter requires court, we'll refer you to a lawyer who can represent you in litigation.

What if my situation doesn't fit your scope?

We assess whether the work fits our licensed out-of-court scope, including whether negotiation is appropriate and safe. Unresolved terms do not by themselves rule out advice or negotiation. If you need courtroom representation or work outside our scope, we refer you to a lawyer or appropriate resource.

Can I change my agreement after it's signed?

Changes depend on your agreement, circumstances and any court order. Hailee can explain whether the proposed work fits her scope and what steps may be needed. Published starting fees for agreement modifications range from $897 to $1,497, depending on the agreed work; applicable taxes and third-party costs are separate.

What if we have children?

Parenting plans and child support are core services. We'll work with you to create a parenting schedule and calculate child support that works for both parties and prioritizes your children's wellbeing.
