From the very beginning, she combined professionalism with a personal, approachable manner that made me feel supported every step of the way. It never felt intimidating or overwhelming to reach out--she was always attentive, detail-oriented, and took the time to answer my questions clearly and thoughtfully. Going through a divorce is never easy, especially when young children are involved. It's an emotional and stressful process where every decision feels significant for their future. Areesha understood that deeply and handled my case with both care and competence, helping me stay focused and confident throughout. I'm incredibly grateful that I had the opportunity to work with Mills & Mills, and even more thankful that Areesha was the one representing me. Her dedication and support made a meaningful difference during a challenging time, and I couldn't have asked for a better advocate.

I had a very negative experience with this law firm and cannot recommend them…read more Sokoloff Law was working with Select Document Services Inc. (SDS) for some of their process serving. A representative from SDS, Byron Raphael, reached out to me for assistance, and because my company had the reach and resources to complete their files, we took on the work. Sadly, shortly after assigning us the Sokoloff files, Mr. Raphael became ill and passed away (may he rest in peace). At the time of his passing, my company had already completed all eight files he had given us. Following his passing, I contacted staff at Sokoloff Law immediately. They assured me the matter would be handled, and I provided them with a full breakdown of the completed work along with all affidavits of service. I specifically requested that no payment be made to SDS, as my company--not SDS--had performed the services. Both their clerks and an accounting team member confirmed no payment had been made and reassured me that we would "figure something out." Eventually, I spoke directly with Wendy Sokoloff. Unfortunately, she dismissed my concerns and claimed that because her firm had no direct contract with my company, they had no obligation to pay--even though she knew it was my team's work that ensured defendants were properly served. Since then, I have checked the court records multiple times, and not one affidavit of service has been filed on the matters we served. Yet somehow, the files appear to have advanced. For a personal injury law firm of this size to knowingly withhold a few thousand dollars from a small business--after benefiting from completed services--raises serious questions about the ethics and professionalism of Wendy Sokoloff and her firm. To profit from the work of a small business, while hiding behind a technicality created by a tragic circumstance, is wrong, unacceptable, and shameful. I am now preparing a formal complaint to the Law Society of Ontario, commencing a small claims action to recover the unpaid fees, and considering whether I need to contact the plaintiffs in these matters to inform them that the very work that advanced their cases remains unpaid. Do better, Wendy. It is disgraceful to take this position when our work was critical to your clients' proceedings. Derik Rehou P.S. You can be certain I am no longer interested in your business.

I settled my car accident case with my new lawyer after being with Sokoloff Lawyers for over 5…read moreyears. The case took 6 years to finish and almost all of the delay was because Sokoloff Lawyers did nothing with my case. I first met Wendy and her dogs after my accident. She told me all kinds of things she was going to do to help me and it was all empty promises. To begin with, i signed up with her and after a few months I had a different lawyer on my case. My lawyer seemed to change every few months and so did the clerks working on my case. i must have had 4 different lawyers and 3 different clerks in 5.5 years and each time it seemed like nobody knew what was going on with my case. I am not even sure who were lawyers and who weren't. When I saw nothing was happening, I demanded to speak to Wendy. She didn't even know my case or me. She mixed me up and kept calling me a different Mohammad. How can my lawyer of 5.5 years not know my name? She didn't know anything about the my injuries or how my accident happened. She said I was at a light but I was at a stop sign. Worst lawyer ever. My new lawyer settled my case and now Wendy wants all of her fees for doing nothing. She is greedy and mean. She makes fake commercials About how good she is. She told me in the beginning she is a great lawyer. Worst experience ever. Ias

My right to access to justice has been violated by this lawyer, because he refuses to even listen…read moreto my problem. he li8tereally says that he "feels" that this is something he can't do, and yet he has "felt" that without even being aware of what the problem is that I am bringing to him. Since I have the right to justice, and the right to access to justice, which are both guaranteed by the charter of human rights as outlined in the constitution of Canada (1982), I "feel" that his refusal to hear me out before refusing to help me, is a violation of that right. The law society allows half an hour of free consultation in order to discuss your problem with the lawyer, and my half hour was used up entirely by arguing with him about whether he will even listen to my problem or not. Yet since the constitution guarantees access to justice, and equal access to justice, it rather suggests that when necessary any lawyer is obligated to go beyond that half hour when necessary in order to fulfill that right to access to justice. Failure to do is a clear and direct violation of that right to access to justice.

Terrible legal advice! I went to the Scarborough Town Centre…read morelocation and met with the lawyer to incorporate a business. I had asked if there was any benefit in creating a second type of shares. I was told there was no benefit or need. After incorporating, my accountant had advised me other wise. Apparently nothing could be done to remedy this without a fee and timely process. Thank you for the terrible legal advice. Also my name was misspelled causing more hassle and delay.
