I am not able to judge this firm's legal expertise, but:…read more 1) I chose this firm because one of lawyers shows that he can speak my native language, but he seldom spoke it during the consultation (just 1-2 phrases). He kept speaking in English even when I repeatedly said "I don't understand." And he did not slow down the speed he spoke at. 2) The lawyer gave me an unrealistic advice. I bought a property but the deal was done with misrepresentation by realtors. The lawyer told me to find another place to live in and rent out the property I bought if I don't like it. He said so as if "easy thing." But I think only limited % of people can bear two obligations in this pricy area (one for the property I already bought and another for new place, in my case). There is no guarantee that tenants pay without skipping any due, and eviction will cost a lot in case of delinquency. 1) + 2) = the lawyer may not be very good at viewing things from others' situation, though he may have legal expertise. Actually he interpreted things as if I were wrong on no basis. 3) Not very professional. For example, the lawyer repeatedly said "the parties will not pay money to you because they do not like you", not "they will not pay because they will not take your claim seriously" etc. It is not a legal advice but something else, possibly humiliation. Also, he repeated "they did so because they did not like you" regarding their misconducts, when the real motive was to earn money. Furthermore, the lawyer said that I had lied about the situation when he found my misunderstanding of the meaning of the legal argument. I just lacked of knowledge enough to understand the meaning of the legal issue but the lawyer humiliated me by saying that I had lied when I explained the situation. 4) Receptionist is not very sophisticated. When I made an appointment over the phone she said "your English is not good" with ethnic accent. She does not know the phrase "which language do you speak?" And this goes back to the fact in 1). She assigned the lawyer to me, based on her judgment on my English speaking (and my name), but the lawyer did not the speak the language. 5) If you feel the hour count for billing is longer than actual, say so clearly. You will be listened (in my case the lawyer said that the consultation was 1.5 hours long but actually it was about 1 hour). Also, I would recommend you to confirm the rule of billing, before the consultation. The rule is 50 CAD first 30 minutes, and regular hourly rate after that (even during the consultation).

Ian potentially saved our bacon on a real estate purchase. He noticed that the land (new…read moredevelopment, bare land to build up on later) had an easement but the developer had not thought through all the liabilities associated with owning that property. In the end I could not get property insurance on the land so we passed on that and bought another lot without those issues. Not only that but Ian was very fair with his billing given that it took a lot more than a standard property purchase. I highly recommend Ian and Rebecca as your legal team. They will have your backs in a real estate purchase.

The single most ineffective and negligent Lawyer a person could ever hire…read more Note to Janet: When your client is being sued for "rectification" of a separation agreement, it's a good idea to find out first, what the other side is seeking to have rectified! Instead of launching yourself in to an unnecessary (and expensive to your client), campaign of discovery that was of no benefit to your client, did not answer the fundamental question of the lawsuit, namely what the other side was seeking to have rectified, but certainly lined your pockets with your clients hard earned money. As it turned out, the rectification the other side was seeking was not germane to the separation agreement at all and was, for the most part erroneous. A good lawyer could have had the claim dismissed in short order, but then again, you're not a good lawyer, I trusted you and you failed to provide the quality of service expected of a competent lawyer, costing me my home, $96,500 I never recovered back from my "X" and almost everything else.
