My review is based on one thing and its my biggest pet peeve about lawyers. 10 days ago I sent an…read moreemail request for information and an appointment to discuss. The email form was right off their website. What did I hear back? Crickets... nothing. Why encourage people to send an email when there is not going to be a response?? Even if everyone but one person is away on vacation, surely that one person can reply to the email to just say... we received your email and someone will be able to call you on (date). These lawyers may be the best in town but it is not worth much if you cannot get ahold of them.

We went to her for a basic update our wills, EPOA and PD, and found her approach to be quite openly…read morejudgmental, even accusatory. It appears she has a grudge against women and is quick to accuse them of negative things she anticipates/assumes they will do in the future. If you choose to go to her, expect to feel judged and morally reprimanded at some point, as well as being told what to do without you asking for an opinion first. It's sad that a "professional" would so openly judge our personal choices, our marriage, and even our future choices that we haven't even made yet. Perhaps compassion and withholding judgement are not common traits in lawyers but I expected more professionalism. Also, she said the cost would be three times the quote she gave over the phone for a basic update, with no explanation as to why.

The introductory zoom demonstration was a fiasco and we had to be rescheduled. I waited a month for…read morePaul to call me for my first interview. He said he'd follow up with my questions but never did. I emailed the office...no response. I phoned the receptionist (only person I can contact) twice and she said that the manager would call me when she returned from vacation. It's been a month and still no phone call. Very poor communication and service so far. Even if they don't think I'm rich enough for them to spend time on me, they shouldn't just ignore me like that.

Nonetheless, we are committed to exploring the full range of legal processes that may prove beneficial to our clients. Our extensive experience has informed our belief that the process of resolving family law disputes can be as important as the issues at stake. Few families find going to court is the most effective way to achieve resolution. Although we are respected courtroom lawyers, we often guide clients to alternative dispute resolution processes that allow families to retain control of negotiations and arrive at agreements that will serve them well for the long term.

Phone calls and emails never returned.... paperwork was incredibly sloppy. I had to constantly correct him on dates, cities and spellings in his pleadings. Which should have been a very straight forward and inexpensive legal matter turned into a very very expensive matter. He failed to send me billings in a timely manner - and I had to challenge him on the honesty of the billings. I felt I had to pay for his incompetence.

I came with a complete template to the consultation time and stated to him my reason to come to him is a letterhead by a lawyer makes more impact. We agreed and this was to be send within the week in time set we met, to be registered mail to addresse' so making sure the person it is directed to will sign for it, and cost be $300.00 dollar plus GST. I left his office having paid in full for service and price agreed on. I also ask to have copy of letter seen before send out should I feel need for changes. **He appologized for sending copy to me for approval as he was late with it. I again expressed making sure it is REGISTERED and gave OK.** After 5 attempts to hear back from Mr. Sartore if he had received a response to letter send eventual 1 month and 10 days after due date ,and when i put pressure to my request saying I want copy not only of his letter send but also proof it was send registered send since I want to go on with the matter but now choosing some other more to me competend to my matter lawyer. Next day Mr. Sartore called and told me it is ready for me to pic-up. At home going over the papers not only does his OFFICE *not* proof-read as my name was spelled total incorrect but he pretended to be a good fellow and to give me credit of $69.82 cent over and the agreed amount he now showed charging me?? Which was the now $360.00. To conclude: He is not in time but late to me unprofessional. He charges more from the agreed between us amount, and he had been paid He does NOT spell clients name in this case mine correct and that can have a possible inpact when matter goes to court. Legal Laws. Case can be dismissed. He does not care to notify within agreed time but is late. All of the above in my opinion are a sloppy way of handling legal offered service. I speak off my experience ONLY and this is not intended to influence anyone using the service of Mr. Sartore.
