I had the pleasure of working with Brooke during a very challenging time for my family, and I…read morecannot recommend her highly enough. From the very first consultation, Brooke demonstrated exceptional professionalism, empathy, and expertise in family law. Her understanding of the legal intricacies and her ability to explain complex matters in a clear and concise manner made the entire process much less daunting. She was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and offer reassurance, which was incredibly comforting. If you are in need of a family lawyer who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly invested in your well-being, I highly recommend Brooke MacLeod. She is also an excellent mediator.

If you're considering hiring this lawyer, I strongly urge you to do thorough research before…read moreproceeding. Take a look at reviews on various platforms, including Lawyerratingz, as it seems reviews under different emails keep appearing on Google. Based on my experience, I would recommend recording all interactions for your records (using your iPhone or another device), as it was crucial in my case. Victoria has many reputable lawyers, so it's worth exploring other options. In my case, I observed actions that raised serious concerns. At one point, this lawyer provided information to a judge that was knowingly inaccurate. Her representation left me deeply dissatisfied, and I have chosen to document and share my experience to inform others. It's worth noting that I've since been threatened with defamation for sharing my experience. However, as far as I understand, truth is not defamatory if you notice the review after mine looks very similar to prior reviews. Truly priceless.

Jackie Horton is amazing. She has been more than helpful and kind. She has gone above and beyond.read more

I came to Mrs. Jacqueline Horton with my ribs broken, eyes bloody, and fresh out of an abusive…read morerelationship. She said she could have my case wrapped up quickly as I had all my tax forums, bank statements and all my evidence in order. She never told me her hourly rate, and never had me sign any contract. She was next to impossible to get a hold of and rarely heard from. she dragged the case on for two years. After trying to get a hold of her for two months with no response, I finally decided to fire her and go to another lawyer. When I gave her secretary that message, Mrs. Horton called me RIGHT BACK like I was the most important person in the world at that moment. Needless to say she was fired, I hired a new lawyer who got a settlement 2 months after hiring her. The new lawyer charged me 250$, Mrs. Horton charged me 2200$ AND DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

We had a great experience working with Ash Forghani on my parents' Super Visa application. He made…read morethe whole process clear, organized, and much less stressful for our family. Ash was professional, responsive, and thorough from start to finish. He explained what documents were needed, guided us through each step, and always made sure we knew what to expect next. We really appreciated his attention to detail and the care he put into the application. Most importantly, my parents' Super Visa was approved. I would happily recommend Ash to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and supportive immigration lawyer in Canada.

Mathais was very professional and handle my case with care and compassion…read more He helped me to get through my separation by removing the administrative burden and the unknown of BC law. English is my second language and he was able to explain my rights in a way that it became simple to understand what I was signing for. Also his price is competitive and you would get high quality for the time you pay. My ex probably paid twice or triple the price I paid for the agreement. I felt I could really counted on him and he replied to my questions always fast and made me as a client a valuable person. He always has been honest and transparent when it comes to my expectations and my demands. I am grateful I found him to support me, I am satisfied with my agreement we work as a team and it worked out well at the end. I hope you won't be in need for a family lawyer but if you do I would get his service and expertise.

DO NOT RECOMMEND!…read more Think it's important to share that the service Scott and his dad provided for years was truly amazing ! Family and friends went their. After going last year, being promised a price for myself and my child whom would be a simple entry- I was charged much more. Things that I have always used and applied to my taxes they wouldn't. I was charged much more than promised. Missing signed forms, and a few other issues. Unprofessional conversations while I was in there. Sadly I would not recommend focus tax under the new ownership. I rather pay a little more and get exceptional service and accuracy. Family and friends have reported the same and have had major mistakes made last year. My brother in law and parents had also always gone here and will not this year.

It was a complicated relocation case and my parenting time with my son was at stake. Thankfully things are much better now and although I did have to move my relationship with my son is strong. Through the entire process I could always depend on Maureen for clear and consistent legal advice that was invaluable in guiding me through family court. Her demeanour was empathetic and I almost always felt better about my situation after meeting with her. This was a process that took almost two years to get through. The decisions made were always with the best interests of my son at the forefront. In the storm of a family breakup this can be sometimes forgotten. However in the very long run this is always the primary consideration and Maureen kept that as the primary goal. If you are looking for legal representation for family law, Maureen McDowell is an outstanding choice.
