I hired Doniger to prepare an affidavit and to present this affidavit in court. It took 6…read moreunbelievably stressful weeks to finally get to the point where my matter could be heard in court. These delays occurred because Doniger was unable to ascertain exactly what court she needed to present my affidavit (i.e. Provincial Court or Queen's Bench and jurisdictions issues Edmonton Court or Medicine Hat Court). Doniger was also unable to acquire previous parenting orders that were necessary to complete the affidavit. Doniger also hired a very expensive agent to represent her without telling me first. I didn't give her my consent to do this but she did so anyway. Now she is expecting me to pay for this agent's service. Both the agent and the judge were unclear of exactly what the affidavit was asking for. I was seeking a chasing order to have my children returned from Quebec back to Alberta and nowhere in her affidavit did it mention this. Furthermore, the affidavit was filled with mistakes and it was incomplete as key parenting orders were missing. To make matters worse, she attached a second affidavit to the original on the behalf of my mother. The agent and the judge were both confused why she would include an additional affidavit on the behalf of my mother - this was redundant and it only made things more complicated. Doniger also instructed me and my mother to make the costly and lengthy trip (15 hours return and 1 night in a hotel room) to Medicine Hat so that we could appear in court in person. The agent she hired was confused why we were in Medicine Hat in the first place as he explained to us appearing here in person was completely unnecessary. While my matter was being presented in court I didn't have to comment on anything nor did they need my signature. The court was unable to use the affidavit created by Doniger because it was confusing, contained mistakes, and incomplete and the agent had no choice but to ask the judge to put the matter over to a later date. I paid Doniger $1,500.00 and 6-weeks later she accomplished absolutely nothing for me. Upon my return from my unnecessary road trip from Medicine Hat, Doniger actually had the audacity to ask me for an additional $2,000.00 to revise her original affidavit so she could present it in court. This is when I terminated her services. She also tried to pass the blame on to me by saying that I should have known what courtroom my matter should have been presented in and by saying that it was my responsibility to produce the key documents necessary to complete my affidavit. In a chasing order time is essential; 6-weeks later, I'm no closer to having my matter heard in court compared to the first day I contacted Doniger. My children are now well established in Quebec and the likelihood of having a judge order them back to Alberta are now slim to none. I REGRET HIRING DONIGER AND I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND HER. If you would like a more detailed account of my experience with Doniger, feel free to contact me at jyzuqe@hotmail.com

First off, Mr. Semeniuk is NOT a lawyer. He is a traffic ticket agent, which is essentially…read moreunregulated by the Alberta Government. Hiring Randy was a huge mistake, as he was rude, condescending, and unhelpful. What was interesting, is the few occasions I emailed him in regards to my case over 6 months from when I hired him, his reply to any of my online questions/concerns would always be "call me." My gut feeling, it;s easier to treat clients like garbage on cell where it is difficult and legally questionable to record the conversation as opposed to proof in emails. Randy claimed that my case received a favourable outcome, yet I have heard otherwise by the Alberta traffic court by phone, and requested a copy of the judgement of my case. Randy has failed to do this, and insists that the courts "always make these mistakes" and to "go to the Courtroom myself" to see. The problem with this, is Randy knew full well that I relocated to another province to care for a sick relative before he delayed my case by 1/2 a year. Randy, it is YOUR responsibility to correct any discrepancies with the official judgement. You are supposed to represent the best interests of your clients, and you failed to do so. Hiring you was the biggest mistake I ever made. $1100 down the drain.

She spent less than an hour flipping through the will and told me I was screwed for over three hundred bucks. Afterwards she would not respond to my emails or phone calls like she said she would ( I guess she got her big bucks for nothing so she was happy). She knew I was from B.C. so she wouldn't have to deal with me in person. I have got another lawyer and am doing quite well despite what Katherine told me and her attitude that I should not pursue. I think someone that swears an oath and then just wants to line their pockets and not give a crap about a client has moral issues. Stay away from this place and stay away from this heartless lawyer.

My ex-husband used a lawyer (Tammy Olsen) from this firm and she was absolutely terrible. After…read moreseeing her work I am not sure how she is able to practise law. She allowed my ex-husband to create 185 point affidavits littered with irrelevant and inappropriate comments about our married life, explicit details of our intimate relations and repetitive ranting. All completely inappropriate for a child custody application! Further, she submitted documents riddled with spelling errors, typos and did not even spell my name or the name of our child correctly. In addition, she did not complete the final divorce document correctly so it was rejected, then allegedly the next divorce document was lost by the court and then she submitted the last one to my lawyer with several new clauses regarding finances that she did not identify and that had not been agreed to. If you would like your divorce to stretch out over 4 years (as ours has) and you would like to spend tens of thousands of dollars trying to get a final divorce judgement then this is a great firm to work with.

To start, this guy, talked the talk, and said "he was going to rip my ex a new one" and meanwhile the guy has NO clue about family law, the rules or anything remotely relating to family law. He is an ex civil defender litigator, that got kicked out of that field of law for improper procedures and numerous disagreements with judges. He actually makes more of a living suing other people personally with his numerous actions he has, but he has also been personally sued many times. (hind sight- I find this out much later). Anyway, he lost every single court application/hearing for me, was ill prepared but billed no problem like he had an open p.o.! At $600 bucks per hr!! Long story short, I lost everything, custody, and my life savings. Instead I received a $350,000 bill!! He has literally ruined my life. Buyer beware, stay far away from this crook! I am in the process of applying for legal aide as Im sure I qualify now- I will probably be much better represented by a government appointed lawyer then this goon
