Let me first add the caveats that no one is thrilled to a) get a divorce, or b) have to pay a…read morelawyer for a divorce. Nonetheless, as my now ex-spouse simply refused mediation I had no choice but to file for divorce. There were complicated custody issues stemming from the fact that my ex is a citizen of another country while our son remained here in my care. Given not only the international dimension of formalizing custody but, also, clear attempts by the other party to exhaust me through procedural chicanery, the case had the potential to become a costly uphill battle. I'm grateful to Scott for his help in getting the courts to rightfully grant me sole custody of my son with final decision making authority. There were a few other items related to a pension that I had been paying into, as well as, sole authority to apply for passports and other items that insured my and my son's full financial and legal autonomy from my ex. Like I said, no one is going to sing the praises of getting billed but I believe under the circumstances Scott was always earnest in pursuing the end goal and he achieved exactly that. It took 2.5 years for the final order in part due to the courts being closed over 2 summers. While Scott definitely covered his bases, he also clearly worked at a face pace, kept the cost relatively inexpensive. That is a total bonus given we are now a one income fam. I also appreciate that Scott is a younger lawyer and therefore more relatable than some grumpy old guy at a super expensive firm. I say he gets full partnership now!

Asked for help when my father passed. The insurance company withheld $30000 from me as they said I…read moreneeded to contact a lawyer to get access to the money my father left me. They never helped me, billed me for $300 and when I called to ask them what was up, they set my retainer fee to $3000. I asked if they would be able to take it from the lump sum afterwards, they declined. So basically i retained absolutely no service with the death of my father and they charged me $3300 and sent it off to the creditors not a week later. The junior lawyer who did this to me no longer works there, but they still have no interest in helping me in any way shape or form other than helping themselves to $3300 of my hard earned dollars.

I would not Recommend this office to anyone needing a lawyer. Do your own research on lawyers for…read moreneeds. This place is horrible!!! They are only interested in the money and nothing else. Read the reviews of lawyers. How many want to friend you Facebook to follow you and watch what you post! What kind of lawyer does that? The one we had was on social media all the time. Making cartoons of himself and posting them on social media. Instead of worrying about his clients. After telling us he has so many nickel dime cases. So your time is best spent making cartoons of yourself like Captain America ? This one didn't listen, tried to tell him about the situation and that we didn't know the individuals but never listened. He was to busy playing Pokémon in his office . When asked who was the Crown attorney he wouldn't tell you. Only say it's not important. Waiting what?!?!?!? You have the right to know. This place is bad!!! This lawyer who told us he needed to be friended on social media. Or else ! What does that mean?? And then telling you if you don't comply he would tell the crown about you. What does that mean ?? He had the nerve to sit back in his chair and tell us he was the " White Johnny Cochran ". Like what ???? And then laughed. Very ineffective council. I can't stress this enough. FIND A DIFFERENT FIRM with lawyers who know what they are doing? Wish there was a ZERO as they don't deserve even this!!!!!

I agreed with the buyer to use the same lawer and recommended McRoberts law office. On our short first meeting with the lawyer, we explained the arrangement and that the buyer would be paying for the transaction cost. On our second, even shorter meeting to sign papers I asked if there was something I would have to pay and he surprised me with over $550 in fees. We discused, negotiated an arrangement and agreed on $408 charge, not ideal, but I accepted the pact. A week later a get a deduction of over $950 ... he fogot to mention all the OTHER hidden fees. I've been calling, emailing and trying to get refunded to the original agreement for months now. Still no luck. Based on my previous experience with McRoberts Law I still have faith someone will help. Katja O.

I used Visionary Law for my separation/ divorce and had Nikki Evans, who was wonderful…read more Unfortunately my spouse passed before we could come to an agreement and Nikki went on mat leave. My case was then moved over to an associate Laura Nagy to work though the estate litigation. Laura did not do her job! Repeatedly I had to contact her to find out what was happening. I paid well over $30,000 in legal fees and my case was still not resolved. I tried repeatedly to receive an update via emails and through their portal and did not hear back from Laura for 9 WEEKS. When I did hear from her it was to inform me that she was leaving the firm and no one at the firm had time to take on my case. I had only been dealing with them for 2 years and they couldn't make time for my case now. This place is a joke. Lillian MacKenzie is obviously not following up with her associates to see if their cases are on track or not.
