Disappointing and Costly Experience - Would Not Recommend Mat Wirove and team…read more My experience with this family lawyer in the beginning appeared to be great. Choosing Mat was a last minute decision and it cost me an extreme amount of money and stress. I am extremely disappointed. Communication was poor, with no clear guidance on what information was important to provide or prioritize. This lack of direction contributed to significant financial loss. Emails went unanswered, especially when I raised concerns, and the process was unnecessarily prolonged. I received email responses meant for his assistant about me, sent to me in error. He was ironically in the same building as the opposing counsel and acted like he didn't know. I asked on more than one occasion for my file to be handed off on a lawyer that could handle the opposing counsel. After months and months He brought in less senior lawyers mid way which only cost me more money to fix mistakes and emails back and forth as the lawyer was not familiar with the orders or details. Crucial financial documents that could have impacted support payments were overlooked, and there was little to no effort made to address defamatory claims made by opposing counsel. I am now forced to file complaints with the Law Society and I am having invoices reviewed due to concerns over billing and conduct. I was up against a very high conflict person and extremely unprofessional opposing lawyer. I specifically stated certain orders were not to be filed until parenting was agreed on, I was lied to and they were filed without my permission. I ended up saying enough was enough when I was being charged for emails to and from Mat and opposing counsel as I had not spoken to him or his assistant in weeks. I demanded answers to the high bills most months $5-7k. All to end up him asking me if I was releasing him as my lawyer, I didn't respond for one day and he submitted a form to the courts that he was no longer representing me "Notice to withdrawal". Seems to be a common thing!. I sent him very detailed emailed expressing my anger and confusion. He didn't respond! I ended up spending thousands and thousands of dollars only to end up having to be financially drained from all equity and money and end up SELF representing myself in family docket court and resolution counsel meeting. Which resulted in extreme stress and mental health breakdown. Opposing counsel invited me on three occasions to filed complaints. Unfortunately, this experience caused a great deal of stress and financial strain. I cannot recommend this lawyer to anyone seeking competent or supportive legal representation in family law matters

Mat did nothing to help my case and just wasted my money and then sent me a "withdraw of lawyer on…read morerecord" form 3 days before a case conference.
