Why this reference : Individual real-estate lawyer with a boutique office in the Junction (west end); Google 4.9/33 (note 19 + volume 7 = 26/35). Office in the sector anchors it (15/15). Lands YELLOW only because the conservative experience floor (5–9yr) and modest review volume; owner confirmation of ≥10 years on LSO would push this to GREEN. Licence presumed active (LSO).

Why 71/100, and not 100?
The points below are not taken away from Laurence Dutil-Ricard: they are simply not yet awarded, for lack of a public source to verify them. Payotte estimates nothing and invents nothing.
- No verifiable distinction found (industry award, press citation, teaching role). Absence of evidence, not evidence of absence.
