I first want to mention that I never left a bad review to anyone, I believe in a second chance, and…read moregod knows how many times I ate in restaurants, they deserved a terrible consideration or dealt with a business. It was the worst experience, but I felt like maybe they get better. No need to put them down; however, this office here is different; when the mistake is in purpose when the issue is people live, I can't be quiet this time, I see a lot of good reviews to this immigration office, and maybe that is what got me at the beginning. I don't know what happened with them, and I can't judge it. But I know what happened to me, and I will tell you guys here in detail what a scam these people are. And how they tried to pull off THEIR TRICKS .over the next few days. I will publish everything, every communication, every email, and ill put my whole case in front of you. With all the evidence in detail, and for the record, maybe many of the people who left a good review could relate when they see my story. Still, they just missed checking the law, as it almost happened to my partner and me. I promise over the next week or so, give or take, I will show you their tricks and sneaky ways, I will show you that they don't care about people lives and how they don't mind at all make people go in circles or file anything they may not need at all that would cost them the valuable time of their lives just they can make an extra buck they don't deserve. And I want to mention that I hoped they show any remorse or even a decent apology or showing some responsibility that would give me peace of mind that they will try their best to avoid what happened to me won't happen to anyone else or at least to show that it was a mistake not a usual game they don't hesitate to play it whenever they get a chance, or more likely they stage t them seves t some times. Still, on the contrary, they tried even to scare us, me, and my partner not to speak up talking about the defamation lawsuit, but let's see what they can do as they missed the meaning of defamation. My partner and I will show you guys here and on every website that cares about who this person is, and I challenge them to disprove my story or even dare to say it's not true 100 percent. Who hew it to you guys in details with their communication's to us and everything. Suppose you are thinking of hiring this office. In that case, I advise you to wait and to see this first at least if you still going with them you would be more ready and watching out for any dirty trick, if you have already been their customer even a happy one read this, maybe it happened to you, and you didn't catch it. If you have a story close to ours, let's unified to warn someone else. If you read this and saw for urself their practices and in a market for immigration lawyers, then you need to do not be dazzled by the lovely big office, you. need to run I'll see you guys probably in a couple of days, more or less on Monday, September 20th, 2021. to start writing the detail about our story. After all, it's for all of you. And you can be the judge. Who doesn't oppose evil, command it to be done? , due to the lengthy detail, I won't be able to finish it all in one review -cause as I said, I want to show you everything thank you all

The final nail in the coffin of my sad, nasty and very bad blood 'family' affair has finally ended…read moreregarding my parents Estate last month. Throughout the last 3 + years Ryan of Aura LLP rode the ups and downs. I can't say it was all fine and dandy because it wasn't. There were times when I definitely considered changing attorneys as the process at times slowed to a trickle sometimes without explanation. Only in hindsight did I realize that life does happen and Ryan did not escape his own issues while on my case. But more important was his continuance on the case. What I expected from a lawyer was someone who listens to what you have to say and to give you the advice and alternatives that one seeks whilst asking questions. Ryan has dispensed the pros and cons and to make suggestions based on my current situation for me to decide. For that he did, which I greatly appreciate. There were times when the family issues got very heated and looking like it could escalate but Ryan's integrity, professionalism and a calm demeanour, would set the issues back on track. My whole Estate process & life eventually got back on the right road within a normal timeframe for the closing stages. I do not hesitate to recommend a professional like Ryan of Aura LLP for your Real Estate / Wills & Estates and Co-Ownership advisory needs. Many thanks for his patience and his ability to get the job done! S.C.

After spending a great deal of time contact several law firms to help with my real estate purchase,…read moreI selected Aura LLP lawyers and damn glad I did! Other firms I contacted, I was always connected with an assistance or intake person who had me fill out forms and sent me information for their fees which was convoluted and had the actual true fees buried and hidden in their document. Not sure why this is so common practice nowadays. I initially reached out to Aura because of their advertised pricing on their website which was then plainly and clearly confirmed in writing by Andreas who handled all the communication himself. Andreas is the lawyer who worked on my transaction. The very fact that Andreas answered my questions and handled my intake really set him apart from the crowd of other firms. The initial consultation with Andreas reinforced the fact that we had made the right choice as he re-assured us he will deal with any and all issues arising from the transaction. Unfortunately our purchase was riddled with issues with the seller and agent. Ultimately they had ripped out fixtures they were not supposed to and we are in the processing of dealing with that post-closing. Not only did Andreas gave care to our transaction like it was his own, he helped us understand our rights and options for litigation for various issues we had with the seller. In total, I'd estimate that he'd provided us 2-3 hours of extra legal advice and consultation above and beyond the real estate purchase. That was beyond appreciated and reminds of what a great decision it was to have him on our side. And did I mention his rate was below all the other folks that I contacted? Andreas was responsive, professional, firm, and not only makes you feel that he serves your best interest, he demonstrates it through his attention and actions. This glowing review may seem like a shill but I have gladly asked Andreas to use me as a reference for anything that is interested to know more about my experience with Aura LLP. In my previous real estate transactions I would have rarely spoken to the lawyer...it would only be on the signing of the documents briefly. Would be lucky if he even responded to any emails...usually it's their assistant that I speak to. If you are on the fence or wondering if you should engage Aura, just book a consultation, and ask to speak with Andreas and you'll know what I mean. You'll be glad you have him at your corner of the ring as I sure am!
