I had imagined that as a new immigrant and as someone who had not yet developed a full…read moreunderstanding of the intricacies of tax filing in Canada, that transacting business with Cambridge Financial would help me to move forward more easily with my taxes but this has not yet proven to be so. The company was referred to me by a family member who is also now experiencing difficulties with the company as well. It was over a month ago when I first approached Elaine Harvey for assistance with my taxes and today, I am still oblivious to where she and her team is in the process. The the low level of customer care and sparse responsiveness to my request for information has been nothing short of appalling. My experience with this agent saw her requesting documents that were already submitted to her and also giving conflicting reports about the status of the filing. She told me by telephone that it was reviewed and submitted weeks ago when in fact it was not yet done. At this point, I lost all trust in her and her team. Two weeks ago, I escalated the matter to a senior manager at the company who promised to get in touch with me about it. I have received no word from either of them and frankly, I do not know what is happening. After conversations with members of my community, I have come to realize that there are others who have had distasteful experiences with this company as well. My Recommendation? Stay far away from this place. Find someone else in the city to help with your taxes if you want good customer service, transparency and timeliness. If anyone knows a way that I may report this matter for more assistance and redress, please feel free to respond with more information.

Do not hire Patterson Law. A few years ago, my aunt died. The executor hired Patterson law to…read morehandle the legal details. Unfortunately, there was a lot of drama, animosity and distrust amongst our family, including towards the executor. I won't get into the details of that. But, look: I'm sure we're not the first and won't be the last family to have disputes over an estate. Patterson law made several sloppy mistakes in names and dates and, most importantly, insisted that beneficiaries sign a form saying that we received all expected payouts from the estate, before we actually received anything. I wrote to the lawyer. He never responded. His paralegal responded that this is "standard practice". I am sure you can understand that, in a situation where there is already a lot of tension and distrust, this added a lot of fuel to the fire! Note that as executor of an estate, you can hire any lawyers you want. You don't have to stick with the lawyers who helped write the will.

Service requested was a prenuptial review of an agreement drafted by another lawyer close to home…read more The original agreement was drafted and fully executed with all communications for $1500 by another lawyer. The agreement had very minor adjustments needed as we have no children, and I simply needed it reviewed by independent council. While the document did change from a prenuptial agreement to a marriage The lawyer at Patterson law was professional, and did a good job explaining each step of the process. However, they charged over $3300 to review the same document that other lawyers have stated should have cost between 500-1500$ based on the simplicity of reviewing a basic agreement. I would caution against using Patterson law if you're looking for value, as you can likely find equally competent and professional lawyers for about half of the price else where. Summary: Most importantly, look else where for better value from a lawyer.

After being referred to this firm by our lawyer, there was a degree of confidence…read more The lawyer, Mr. Moir was happy to take a payment of five hundred dollars for a consultation and creating a letter regarding a property issue. He assured us that there was a solid case and required five thousand dollars to continue with the issue. The issue was not handled by Mr. More, It was passed to an assistant who seemed to know little to nothing about real estate law, The firm decided not to take on the case, since there was nothing that they could do and returned a portion of the money. They even charged for sending a courier with a cheque. I should have walked away when Mr. More said that he was more comfortable suing insurance companies for millions of dollars. I have dealt with many lawyers over the years in the area of property law. I can not profess my disgust for the lawyer and the firm. Will not being doing any further business with them and will seek a firm with a more competent staff and one that doesn't make promises that they can't keep.
