I had a disappointing experience with this firm. Communication was a major issue -- I reached out…read morein July after not hearing back for months, and my emails (sent two weeks apart) went unanswered. When I finally received a response, I was told they had stopped representing me back in March, but I was never informed of this at the time. Despite this, I didn't receive an invoice until the end of July. When I asked about the delay, I was told it had originally been sent on March 7 by a different law clerk -- someone I had never interacted with -- and the message had landed in my junk mail. There was no follow-up until I reached out months later. Then it was discovered it was sent end of May, but that was only discovered after I followed up assuming I was still working with a lawyer. I was also concerned that there was confusion between our brand name and our legal entity -- they are similar, but one includes "Corp" and the other does not. This led to delays and the need for additional clarification. I felt that instead of replying to my email to address this concern, they simply decided to disengage -- but never informed me of that decision until months later, when I was in immediate need of legal support to resolve an employment and estate matter. Most troubling was that I was left to scramble to find new legal representation at a time when I believed I was still being supported by this firm. I had no indication that the relationship had ended, and I felt exposed during a period when I needed legal protection and continuity. When my file progressed and I reached out again, I was told: "Unfortunately due to current commitments, I am unable to re-engage at this time. I recommend that you promptly seek alternative legal counsel who can assist you without delay." I was also never provided with a clear quote or fee structure. After sending an initial retainer, I later received an invoice with additional charges -- which I only became aware of in late July. This lack of transparency made it difficult to plan or understand the full scope of costs involved. Finally, I was told that my March 3 email -- in which I expressed disagreement with some advice and asked to pause the matter -- was interpreted as a disengagement. However, I was never informed that the file had been closed, nor was I contacted to confirm this. I only learned of their position when I followed up months later. I would have appreciated clearer communication, more attention to detail, and timely updates about the status of our relationship. This experience left me feeling unsupported during a time when I needed clarity and guidance.

This is just a heads up review of one of the associates that works at this firm and the potential…read morerepercussions it may have on your representation if you were to retain this individual's counsel. This comes from a facebook thread of where I repeatedly asked for credentials to prove her licensing and an explanation as to why she was using an alias while replying with her biased opinions over a foreign legal matter. My suggestion would be to flee this counselor with haste if you want a proper representation in the legal system. Claudia Ximena Bordes and her comments on how she views her clients and their creepy nature: "Wow. This is pretty intense. For the record, most of the lawyers I know (family bar, Ottawa) don't use their regular names on Facebook; it would be way too easy for our clients to track us down and start creeping us." The Facebook name that this was under is Jim Bordes. Steer clear of this attorney. She is clearly violating the very Rules of Professional Conduct regarding ethics and should be reviewed by the Law Society of Ottawa. .

For several years I retained Judy Overgaard as my lawyer for my separation. Run! Do not, I repeat,…read moredo not go anywhere near this lawyer. She refused to stand up for me against the opposing lawyer, who was very aggressive. She allowed this lawyer to walk all over her, and by extension, me. I finally had enough when on at least 2 separate occasions she went behind my back, and did exactly what I told her not to do. She completely refused to follow my instructions, then had her junior lawyer tell me what she was doing. My last invoice was off by over $300, she blamed the accounting glitch in their software. That doesn't make any sense based on the error that was made. She is a complete coward, and hides behind excuses, and her junior lawyer. These are the actions of a partner? I paid her thousands of dollars this year alone, and she was completely incapable of advancing the file.
