My husband and I were first-time home-buyers who used this firm a few months ago, and we were (and still are) truly disappointed that we used them for the closing of our first home - it wasn't an experience we would ever wish upon any new homeowners. We found them through Google (and weren't referred to them through a referral source or agent), and had a number off issues: 1. On the day of closing, we were informed that they gave us an incorrect closing funds amount, and they needed more money from us to close the transaction. Apparently, they do their "final review" of mortgage documents on the day of, so if there's an error, they don't catch it till your closing day (meaning, if you don't have the funds, you won't have much time to find some). I was able to e-transfer the amount because it was within my e-transfer limits - but what if I hadn't been able to? 2. Prior to our signing appointment, I had to point out another error in our closing funds statement, which showed we had to bring in less funds (our mortgage broker thankfully pointed out what our funding amount should be, so we knew how much money we would need). I was told that they don't normally do a final review of mortgage documents until later on (I didn't realize final review wouldn't be till closing day - which meant, if I hadn't caught this error, there's a likelihood they would have needed more money from us on closing day). 3. On the day we had to sign our closing documents, we had a 6:15 PM appointment - we rushed there after work and arrived at 6:20 PM. We also had a scheduled walk-through appointment of our house at 7:30 PM with our real estate agent and families. Unfortunately - our signing appointment with Ball & Berljawsky began around 7:30 PM, more than an HOUR later than scheduled. We waited in that waiting room for 1 hour and 15 minutes, and NO ONE emerged to let us know how long we would be waiting, which we thought was incredibly unprofessional. This also meant that our agent and families and the sellers were left waiting until our appointment was over. We were also told we would be sent certain items after our appointment (we still haven't received them). 4. On the day of closing, I followed up to ask when my father could come in and pick up keys. We were told they were in the "process of registering" and he could pick up our keys shortly. My dad came and went - but we didn't receive a single email from a lawyer or a clerk confirming that our transaction was indeed "closed". We received our transfer/title deed about 1.5 months later. 5. In terms of communications - my husband and I asked to be copied on all communications (i.e. to "Reply All"), which didn't happen, making it difficult for my husband and I to communicate (i.e. I had to keep forwarding him communications he was never copied on, even though it was requested and I kept copying him on emails repeatedly). Overall, this was a pretty disappointing experience, and we truly wished we had gone with another firm. You honestly feel like you're just a number and invoice. There are many, many, many real estate lawyers in Mississauga - if you want a more personal, detail-oriented experience, I wouldn't choose this one. read more

I found this law firm on line and couldn't be more pleased I was a bit lost and all of my questions were answered and they took the time to deal with a delicate situation and handled it with such care My parents wills, power of attorney, executor were all done we also purchased a home and with such ease the closing was complete. Took the time to come out of there way due to my elderly parents. Also sold a condo and we are having them do the closing once registered They are great and would use them again read more

B&B was an absolute pleasure to do business with. My husband and I had to sell our home and were very inexperienced and contacted them on a referral from a family member. They were professional, answered our questions and emails quickly and informatively, and guided us skillfully when we had some mortgage advisor issues. Lorraine is lovely and so hard working, she really goes above and beyond, and David is professional and patient with any and all questions. I definitely recommend B&B law firm, you won't regret it! read more
