Met with Kevin Wicka of the Tarantino Law Firm to discuss an EEO action against the DoD. Kevin was…read moreeasy to talk to and provided great advice. I have engaged with other lawyers previously about different issues and the first thing out of their mouths was how much it was going to cost me. That did not happen with Kevin. We discussed the strength of my case, the issues, and legal processes based on his years of experience. Kevin is not admitted to the state where the issue occurred but he took the time to research lawyers that could competently represent me. Selfless! I would highly recommend Kevin.

They also lost possession of a number of key documents and I had to submit them a second time. They were on a shared drive and the office failed to keep a copy. Very disappointing because Kevin and Justina seemed very nice. I suggest readers look elsewhere outside of Buffalo for representation, especially if you have been wronged by an entity in the Buffalo area.

He fought hard for me every step of the way and secured a settlement that truly reflects his efforts. His commitment never wavered, and he consistently went above and beyond on my behalf.

My daughter was involved in a car accident while riding with her friend and her friend's mother…read more Prior to the accident, she was a national champion in track and field, but unfortunately she injured her knee in the crash and was unable to continue competing. I reached out to The Barnes Firm and spoke with Mr. Michael Cooper to see if we even had a case. From the beginning, he was confident and told us we absolutely did. My daughter attended physical therapy, although not as frequently as recommended because she is a very active high school student with a busy schedule. Even so, I made sure she continued doing therapy exercises at home. Despite the limited number of therapy visits, Mr. Cooper still worked extremely hard for my daughter and was able to secure a very generous settlement. He was persistent throughout the process and refused to accept the lowball offers that were initially presented. What really stood out to me was his communication. Mr. Cooper always kept us informed and responded quickly whenever I emailed him. That level of professionalism and dedication meant a lot to us. I would absolutely recommend The Barnes Firm, especially Mr. Michael Cooper. He did an amazing job advocating for my daughter and making sure she was treated fairly.

They these two in my personal opinion should retire the only thing I believe that they would be good at are slam dunk where they don't have to put any effort forward I would give it zero stars, but they won't allow that. I'm sure being that this is a bad review. It will disappear. Because it seems they only go for the five star reviews.

1 star. My experience with glenlake made me question whether escalation was being mistaken for…read moreeffective legal work. I dealt directly with this firm for months in an LTB matter. They represented the other side, so I obviously expected disagreement. What I did not expect was how much more complicated, expensive and adversarial the situation became once they were heavily involved. I received very confident allegations and correspondence that repeatedly pushed me to go back to the actual emails, notices, dates and documents. The more carefully I checked the underlying record, the less intimidated I became. Ironically, their approach motivated me to learn the process, preserve everything and understand remedies I had never even considered before. From my perspective, that ultimately created far more leverage for me than I had before the firm became involved. If you are considering hiring them, do your own due diligence rather than relying on the marketing or star rating. Ontario LTB decisions are public and searchable, and prospective clients can look at a representative's actual case history and read the decisions for themselves. My takeaway is simple: good legal representation should clarify a dispute and improve the client's position. In my experience with glenlake, the process seemed to become larger and more difficult while giving the person on the other side more reasons to scrutinize what was being done. I would not choose this firm to represent me.

It was my first time going before the Landlord-Tenant Board. And I almost did it alone! What a mistake that would've been... When you realize you need legal advice or representation and give Glenlake Paralegal a call, a huge weight will be lifted from your shoulders. That feeling alone is worth anything, so it's a bonus that their services are also a tremendous value (this coming from a student...) Peter at Glenlake is incredibly good at what he does. I was initially very tense about the whole thing, but he's a very personable guy and instantly put me at ease. He's immensely knowledgeable and patient. I had a lot of questions, and not only did he answer them thoroughly, but I could swear he actually enjoyed it! In the end, it was thanks to Peter's strategy and tenacity that we managed to reach a very satisfactory settlement before the cases were even ultimately heard... Peter is exactly the kind of person you want as your ally!

Didn't know what was going on with the case, we did deposit depositions. He was supposed to redo the deposit depositions never did anything he said. not saying that he probably would be a better to someone just speaking from my experience with him. It was horrible and I would not suggest him for anything. Poor communication skills and the biggest liar I ever met. And it's so unsettling to think that this guy is playing and lying in my face and think that I did not see right through him . And even convince me to take the settlement by saying that if it was his own brother, he would say that this was a fair settlement.. after four years with this guy this was the best that he could come up with I accumulated over $100,000 in debt waiting for him to settle this case so thankful that another Attorney and did a wonderful job. If you go with him, you have to stay on top of him and he will lie to you.. Horrible experience, .steer clear from this guy!!!!!!!!

My other two tickets were reduced to parking tickets with zero fines, zero surcharges, and fines capped at $150 each. I went in with a lot at stake and walked out with an outcome I'm incredibly relieved about. I watched him in court and he did not back down. He was prepared, stated the facts clearly, and was assertive with the judge when he needed to be. He knew exactly when to push and how to say it. I'm glad I had him representing me. Dominic was also the most affordable of the four attorneys I spoke with, and he got this result without us even having to go to trial.
