So you clearly lied when you said you were retiring…read more Covid time you were wanting myself and children out of your home in the winter. You said you were getting old and were retiring which wasn't true obviously since you're still in business. I still have all emails that you were trying to bribe me with up to 10,000 move out with no paper trail and no one needing to know. Each month it would go down 1000. I finally ended up finding a place, but left empty handed with no incentive. UHauls were all booked around that time, so you're amazing realtors collected more money from me letting me know they had a friend who does dump runs. I threw away my entire home including belongings of my children which lets say took me forever to replace. This woman is dishonest, a manipulator and do not recommend her to to cover your case. Put Your money towards a lawyer who truly cares

Not trustworthy, very messy office, losing documents, and triple charging for reviewing documents…read more She easily lies to and denies everything she says on the phone. This office produced lots of extra unnecessary work for themselves to make a good business out of my case. They triple charged me with bills that shows they work on my case 75 hours per week! I experienced lots of harassment and bullying from them to pay their account. She breached our payment plan agreement and put unbearable financial pressure on in the time of venerability.

Started out with Maxwell Bauer - $500 an hour. Shortly into the matter, when they found out it…read morewould not be going into ligitation, an associate took over and we were still charged the $500 an hour, even though Maxwell had nothing to do with the case. I still do not understand how we racked up almost $15k in legal fees with the majority of their work being emails sent to the defendant. Months would go by without any updates being given to us. We would have to contact the associate ourselves every time only to be told that they 'didn't know.' Hindsight - could have gone with a local, more affordable firm and gotten the (lack of) results that we got with this firm.

"Imagine a place where you pay them hundreds of dollars so they can convince you why you need to…read morehire them......" -- JH "...... in fact seemed as though he was working for the other side." -- Suzanne The sentiment in the two quoted reviews by other clients on google reviews is exactly how I have felt in dealing with Maxwell Bauer on my employment case. In addition, Maxwell failed to initially identify that my severance package violated the Employment Standards Act, 2000. I only discovered this myself after researching online three months later. He also neglected to inform me for two months that he had received the Statement of Defense. Despite these oversights, I was still billed for the time spent communicating with him about these mistakes. My case dragged on for over 21 months to reach a settlement. For the first 15 months, I diligently paid every invoice by credit card, as per the agreement. However, Maxwell later imposed an additional processing fee for credit card payments, which was never mentioned upfront. Maxwell charges an hourly rate for his services, and from the moment I signed the agreement, I felt less like a client and more like an ATM.

i was directed to mark grossmen by legal aid ontario and spoke with him on the phone on a Friday…read moreafternoon. he asked me to send over my case. so i did, i got back in contact with him for a consultation Monday and it was scheduled for Wednesday. well come the consultation it turned out he never reviewed my case by no means, was clouded by opposing lawyers party and decided to infactuate himself on a part of the case that was deemed irrelevant. so needless to say he asked for 10k up front and me being a concrete finisher on unemployment for another month or 2 said that was the best he can do. that was just for him to "start" a case that i have been self represented in for 3 years. i would be better off using the 10k to enroll in law school then be represented by him. i wish i looked on here first because i never would have wasted the 3 days waiting for the consultation. i also feel like i spoke with a different lawyer at first because they seemed much more in depth to the case that involved fraud.
