We needed help with preparing estate documents and knew no one in our area, so choose to meet Jody Pihl after reading through the Pihl website as well as others. She gave us one of the worst experiences we have ever had! She was disinterested and aloof during our discovery meeting. I had written in detail what we wanted in our documents and we reviewed the facts in our meeting. When we got our documents they were filled with ridiculous and shocking errors, even though I had given her written and verbal detailed information. Then she corrected her and her staffs' errors and charged us a whopping and outrageous fee for those corrections. We had to find another lawyer to correct her mistakes. He clarified and rewrote Pihl's messy documents but of course, that cost us further in fees. Cannot provide a single positive thing to say about Jody Pihl's shoddy standard of work or ethics. read more

When buying a recreational property from out of town, Phil Law was recommended to us by our agent. It turned out to be a great recommendation. Throughout the process, Peter Borszcz and his team provided us with wonderful service, which made buying from a distance an easy proposition. Everything was running smoothly, as it should, until it wasn't. When severe complications arose, panic set in and the purchase almost collapsed, however, Peter was a calming voice. He provided sage advice to ensure we were not only well protected, but also worked swiftly to place us in a positive position and to allow the deal to close. Thanks to Peter's levelheaded reassurance, clear explanation of our situation and immediate attention, we are now the proud owners of a fantastic ski property. We look forward to enjoying that Okanagan Champagne Powder. read more

My husband and I recently relocated to Kelowna and decided to buy a home at the end of August 2016. Peter Borszcz of Pihl Law was recommended to us by our realtor for conveyancing. Unfortunately our experience with Peter and the law firm was less than impressive. I should have been concerned when the first e-mail I received from Peter (via his personal assistant, no doubt) was a copy and paste template that didn't even address me by name. But I persevered since every other recommendation that our realtor gave for service providers had turned out great. We made arrangements via e-mail to meet Peter to go through our mortgage details and sign paperwork on the completion date. We were completely flexible when we booked an appointment with him and expected to have at least an hour of his undivided attention to ask questions and review things in detail. Boy were we wrong. First of all, Peter showed up 10 minutes late for our appointment. And from the moment he introduced himself he was aloof and seemed very disinterested in our file. He flew through the paperwork so quickly that we had no time to ask questions. And when we did manage to get a word in edgewise he'd scoff or brush us off like he didn't have time to explain the intricacies of the transaction to us. After about 35 minutes of harried paper flipping he explained that he was in a bit of a rush as he had another appointment to attend. And with that he left us in the meeting room - without a handshake, without a thank-you and without any sense that we were valued clients. Completely unprofessional. To make matters worse, he called in an assistant to finish the signing with us. She did her best but had no background on the file and had to make things up as she went along. We were beginning to get concerned about the quality of work, so when the appointment was nearly over we asked for photocopies of the paperwork for our records. We were handed over to yet another person who said they'd make copies and call when they were ready. That call never came. It took several days of e-mails and phone calls back and forth to get the paperwork right (they spelled my husband's name wrong, got the downpayment calculations wrong and missed crucial information required by the lender) and get printed and electronic versions of the package. In short, Pihl seems like an utter disaster of a firm. Disorganized, unprofessional and not concerned at all about their clients. I will be telling all my friends and colleagues to stay as far away from them as possible. read more
