I must admit I wasn't happy when I totally misunderstood what his paralegal presented to me on the…read moreintake phone call- led me to believe he could accept me as a client- I filled in an application with a lenthy personal account of my situation- only to then receive an email to be denied with excuses about various concerns that were not applicable and could have been answered with a phone call to myself. When I rebutted with an email reply- I did receive a call the next morning, with an explanation they are a small firm- and the lawyer is too busy to take my case!! . Moving on- but I still feel it was unprofessional.

Butterfield law helped me with a cohabitation agreement and I am very satisfied with their service…read more I initially came to him because the previous Family law lawyer I consulted with was incapable of doing math, was too thrown off by progressive ideas and wanted me to let go of all my previous legal agreement. After that, I believe important to seek a second opinion. I came to Butterfield to see if he was going to understand what I was proposing. He took the time to do the math and think about what I was actually coming up with. And he acknowledge that what I had done was actually smart and worth keeping. So, because he made an effort to be open minded and make sense of my ideas, I knew I could trust him to be able to vouch for me. We then proceeded to a cohabitation agreement that was fair for all parties. -----If you are buying a house or condo with someone and each of you have a different amount of money for down payment, go to him. He will provided you now with a contract with a math formula that actually reflects reality and market value instead what is commonly done by other law firms (they follow inflation unfortunately, which is not the same as market value). cheers!

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.

I went through a brutal divorce in 2016 and Maureen guided me through the process with clear, calm…read moreand realistic guidance. 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.

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!

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.

I would happily recommend Ash to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and supportive immigration lawyer in Canada.

I wasn't really sure why or how it worked and had been to a few places trying to get this done. Most places I went asked a bunch of questions or made me feel uncomfortable. I came into this office and briefly explained what I needed. Nav never questioned me and simply smiled and said he could do it for me no problem. Within a minute I had everything I needed and was out the door. So glad I came in and will be coming back to them for any legal needs based on how simple and pleasant my experience was with them.
