Do not hire Patterson Law. A few years ago, my aunt died. The executor hired Patterson law to…read morehandle the legal details. Unfortunately, there was a lot of drama, animosity and distrust amongst our family, including towards the executor. I won't get into the details of that. But, look: I'm sure we're not the first and won't be the last family to have disputes over an estate. Patterson law made several sloppy mistakes in names and dates and, most importantly, insisted that beneficiaries sign a form saying that we received all expected payouts from the estate, before we actually received anything. I wrote to the lawyer. He never responded. His paralegal responded that this is "standard practice". I am sure you can understand that, in a situation where there is already a lot of tension and distrust, this added a lot of fuel to the fire! Note that as executor of an estate, you can hire any lawyers you want. You don't have to stick with the lawyers who helped write the will.

Service requested was a prenuptial review of an agreement drafted by another lawyer close to home…read more The original agreement was drafted and fully executed with all communications for $1500 by another lawyer. The agreement had very minor adjustments needed as we have no children, and I simply needed it reviewed by independent council. While the document did change from a prenuptial agreement to a marriage The lawyer at Patterson law was professional, and did a good job explaining each step of the process. However, they charged over $3300 to review the same document that other lawyers have stated should have cost between 500-1500$ based on the simplicity of reviewing a basic agreement. I would caution against using Patterson law if you're looking for value, as you can likely find equally competent and professional lawyers for about half of the price else where. Summary: Most importantly, look else where for better value from a lawyer.

Dealt with Kent Rodgers for a property purchase. The situation was not really an average straight…read moreforward buy and sell but he was exceptionally good at informing and helping me along with multiple parts of the purchase. Fantastic lawyer would recommend him.

My first experience with a lawyer was not a very positive one…read more I was referred to this firm, and more specifically Kent Rodgers.. by BMO - Clayton Park, as they normally do their real estate work with him. Unfortunately for him, I won't be going back. There is not much to tell, except that on two occasions I had his paralegal/him not get back to me.. and had to follow up myself. The second time, someone still had keys to my storage room, and called him to look into it.. he said he would.. but after not hearing back for two months.. I am guessing once your check cashes.. they could care less about you. This firm only serves to keep the negative stigma around lawyers going. Go elsewhere, I know I will.

Excellent Team at MDW Law. Derek was swift and professional. He really went above and beyond for us.read more

I can't recommend MDW Law enough! We started our journey in our custody battle in 2019, we actually…read morehad retained a different law firm ...that just wasn't the right fit for us and the cause. We "shopped" around, and we were referred to MDW LAW by another firm. Being told that with how unique our case is that they would do an amazing job representing us and my grandson. We retained MDW Law in 2020 and we couldn't be more pleased. They understood our case but mostly they believed in us! It's been a long road, however they have made it easier to comprehend. The communication is exceptional. You will notice I use they when referring to this law firm...well that's because the whole firm at some point has worked with us or on our case. They have become extended family to us. They have seen the good, the bad and definitely the ugly from my family...they have never given poor advice to us. We just recently went to trial...which of course is very emotionally, mentally and physically draining. Our team has maintained our truth and represented us with nothing but respect. We did win our trial!! The level of personal attention given to us and our grandson has exceeded anything I could have imagined. So if you are seeking an amazing law firm, truly look no further. Their passion will not disappoint! Thank you MDW LAW we are forever grateful for you ALL.

After being referred to this firm by our lawyer, there was a degree of confidence…read more The lawyer, Mr. Moir was happy to take a payment of five hundred dollars for a consultation and creating a letter regarding a property issue. He assured us that there was a solid case and required five thousand dollars to continue with the issue. The issue was not handled by Mr. More, It was passed to an assistant who seemed to know little to nothing about real estate law, The firm decided not to take on the case, since there was nothing that they could do and returned a portion of the money. They even charged for sending a courier with a cheque. I should have walked away when Mr. More said that he was more comfortable suing insurance companies for millions of dollars. I have dealt with many lawyers over the years in the area of property law. I can not profess my disgust for the lawyer and the firm. Will not being doing any further business with them and will seek a firm with a more competent staff and one that doesn't make promises that they can't keep.

The last time they represented me they saved over $10000 on the transaction and charged a reasonable fee to boot. I have used them for Real Estate and personal law and have been delighted with the results on every occasion. Added bonus there is free 2 hour parking in front of the building and there are usually free spots available.

I did a search and up popped "Valent Legal" though why not cause you can ask questions and it was free lol I came to know one of the lawyers at the firm by phone and told him (Phil Moreira) about my situation and I needed advice. I know you are all thinking that goes everything that maybe coming to me cause I said the word "Lawyer " .... at Valent Legal , he listened to me, we conversed in email or over the phone. He treated me as an individual and not just a person that was going to get money from because he was taking a case. He asked me lots of questions and I did the same, if you don't understand then ASK questions so that you understand! Phil was prompt on returning my calls or emails and did mind the many questions I would have asked. He explained to me the many sides of the situation I was in and what sort of out come it may or may not result in. When you have person with so much knowledge and information at your side it is appreciated cause you know if anything arises, you can call and ask him or his colleagues! They treat you like part of their family and you are taken care of. Thank you Phil and for all your work and listening. Now I can say, I have people and I know who to call for advise. Customer Service and understanding is top rate @valentlegal.ca Thanks again Phil! Sheila Walker
