Matkowsky Immigration Law stood out to me right away from other Immigration Lawyers in Toronto…read morebecause John took the time to listen to my situation to give me accurate advice. On top of that, my wife's pemanent residency was finalized in only a few months of working with Matkowsky! The staff at Matkowsky were helpful and made the process as easy as possible.

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

Throughout the process I felt informed about what was happening and confident that things were moving along according to plan. Before hiring them, I was uncomfortable and hesitant about hiring a lawyer and I was afraid of hidden fees. They made the process easy and straightforward. I felt like my case and my concerns were a priority for them. And I was really impressed with how aggressively they pushed things forward and how hard they worked to get me a great result. I can't say enough.

I hired Caryma because as a white woman dealing with harassment from a woman of colour, I wanted to…read moreuse a non-white lawyer to help me with a cease and dessist. Caryma was very succint, grounded, fast, affordable, genuine, respectful.. I've read some of the negative reviews of her online, and they simply arent honest. It is abundantly clear that Caryma is the victim of harassment from people who dont hold the same political views as her. I can say that I dont hold the same political views as her, but it didnt matter. We didnt need to unpack our politics. She remained focused on the task and did her job and she worked damn hard. She didnt judge me. In fact, her perspective made me feel at ease and like I was being supported in the interest of justice. She helped me reframe my experience in a way that lightened up my perspective actually, which was a huge gift given my stress level dealing with a very aggressive and long term situation with a stalker. I fully support anyone of any social location, hiring Caryma. She is really great to deal with and I think she also deserves respect for her courage as a woman and as a woman of colour, to put herself out there as an in-your-face lawyer, in the nasty world of social media, and to come out on top like a boss.

Brilliant, knowledgeable and highly specialize. Caryma is a top notch lawyer and fair with billing.read more

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.

Well luckily for me and my background checks I've never had to deal with any personally but after working with Ilene I'm having serious doubts in what those stereotypes are founded in. I set up a phone consult after perusing some Yelp recommendations. There are just not that many reviews out there for lawyers so I was nervous. Shouldn't have been. Ilene's prices were fair, communication clear and answers fast. We booked a one hour immigration phone consultation which we went well over with all of our questions. We had some very specific questions related to our unique situation. I really appreciated the fact that she didn't BS us with a made up on the spot answer but rather said that she would verify to make sure her advice was 100% correct and follow up by email. Our experience with Ilene was outstanding. The clarity we got on our path forward was worth every penny. I highly recommend and can say that based on our experience she's a lawyer you can trust.

She is very obviously skilled, knowledgeable, and thorough, and her bedside manner (or whatever you call that for lawyers!) is delightfully kind, honest, and clear. I would not hesitate to request Ilene's services again in the future and recommend that anyone else in need of immigration expertise do the same. Thank you, Ilene!
