Sabrina, I am disheartened by your review. I did not excellent work for your husband. The judge…read morefound the police breached your husband's Charter rights but unfortunately she did not exclude it from evidence. He received a significantly reduced sentence because of the letters of reference I organized. You may remember I asked you to read your letter to the judge in court. I sent you a copy of the reasons where the judge wrote about what your husband's family and friends said about him. Personal letters and detailed submissions by counsel are always better than a sterile report from a government paid social worker. The reason I could not answer all your questions is because you were not the client. Your husband was and I had my solicitor duty of confidentiality with him that he did not waive with respect to you. Your husband obviously disagrees with your assessment of my legal representation because we talk and our friends and he asked you to remove another review you wrote about me. Unfortunately, Yelp does not allow a person to remove a review after it is written. I just want to set the record straight about how much you misconceptions about your husband's case.

"If I could give a negative rating, I would. Sam was my husbands defense lawyer from 2021 to August…read more2023 when the case closed. He lost the case, on many fronts and my husband ended up with a much harsher sentence than he deserved. When we interviewed Sam before retaining him, he was kind, patient, and answered all of our questions. The moment, I sent him the retainer, this all changed. He charged us over $50,000 and to this day I do not have an invoice to explain what this money was used for. He convinced us that he had enough to fight the charge should we chose to do so. We decided to go to trial to fight my husbands charge. For the year leading up to the trial, Sam spoke to my husband briefly, and gave only 2 options for defense. One was not a viable option, and the other was simply to accept guilt. At no point did he explain his defense strategy (which I now know was a pathetic attempt to provide a defense). If we asked questions about his strategy, he would say "do you trust me?", and avoid answering our questions. We decided to trust him and move forward. At my husbands trial, he submitted a statement of facts and spoke for less than 3 min (I timed it). That was it!!!!!!! 3 min!!!!!!!!. Because he didn't prep us for trial, and asked us to "trust him", we had no idea what he was going to say at trial or in this case, NOT going to say. The defense was a joke. The crown ate him up. My husband was found guilty weeks later, and was sentenced to 3 years in prison. Prior to the verdict on Jan 26, 2023 Sam spoke to my husband on the phone a total of 6 times from Dec 14, 2022 - Jan 5, 2023. 5 of those calls were 5min or less. The 6th call was 12min. There was no in person meeting. We met him in person ONCE in the last 2 years. When we called to try and book a meeting prior to the trial, prior to the verdict, and prior to the sentence, he said on multiple occasions, that he'll "talk to us later". He repeatedly, on numerous occasions, brushed us off of the phone by saying that "I only have a few minutes". He told me that it doesn't matter if I meet with you 3 days before the sentence, as "it doesn't matter". 5 weeks before the sentencing date, we had asked him 3 times for a face-to-face meeting, he brushed us off every time. We sent emails asking for basic information that we were entitled to know like: What is the crown asking for in terms of a sentence? What are we asking for in terms of a sentence? How many people can speak at the sentencing? What are the ways in which we can present husband before the court to have the best chance of a lower sentence? What mitigating factors are you presenting? What aggravating factors are there? What credit is husband entitled to for pre-sentence custody? What credit is husband entitled to for harsh custodial conditions? What collateral consequences are you planning to present on behalf of husband? He did NOT answer even one of these questions. Sam did NOT provide adequate council. He did NOT communicate with us in a timely or sufficient manner, and when he did communicate with us, he would say verbatim that "I only have a few minutes". He consistently rushed us off of the phone and would either ignore or blatantly not answer any of our questions. I begged and pleaded with him and sent him numerous emails and text messages to answer my questions. We were left in the dark the whole time. He did not answer my questions. He was the sole cause my stress and anxiety leading up to sentencing that I ended up taking a 3 month leave of absence from work. Sam did not care. Finally, at sentencing, which was all we had left to get a lower sentence, Sam did not guide us AT all. I did my own independent research and spoke to 5 other criminal lawyers, John Howard society, probation officers, anyone that I could think of to help us. Sam told us to get a "few character" references. He never requested a pre-sentence report, which is very common especially for first-time offenders and was probably my husband's best shot at getting a lighter sentence. I asked him multiple times to order a pre-sentence report and he never answered my email once. When I asked him over the phone, he said that he would do a better job at giving background information about my husband than what the presentence report could do. On the day of sentencing, his "background" information consisted of my husbands name (which he mispronounced), his age, stated that he was a first time offender and has a child. He mentioned that he had 3 step-siblings to which the JUDGE HERSELF had to correct him that they are his half-siblings and stating my name which he also got wrong. A pre-sentence report is pages and pages long that go into who the offender actually is, a probation officer would have interviewed me and his family and friends to get a full picture as to my husband is, his upbringing, his character, etc. Sam totally f**ked us! Stay away from this bastard!

Because of this, my lender didn't want to close. The lawyer's office was not proactive in advising me of this issue until I called them to ask when I was getting my keys. They then asked me to provide them with my builders contact info. (Shouldn't they have already had this informaton?!) With only just an hour to close, they were not able to get the corrected binder letter, and then they had the audacity to tell me it was my lenders fault. I did all the closing paperwork and payment a few days before hand, so they had plenty of time to identify they had the wrong information from the builder and could have corrected it in time. After being upset that I didn't close on time, as it was a huge inconvenience to me, I was then told I should not have expected to get my keys on closing day, and that they had previously especially informed me of this. This was a complete outright lie. I was told not to expect my keys before 5pm on closing day. I have several properties and have had multiple closings, and never have I ever been delayed in getting keys especially when the closing should have been as cookie cutter as this with a new condo build.

Unfortunately our experience was the complete opposite of the other reviewers here…read more We used this law firm for our condo purchase. While our lawyer was personable and attentive in person, we really got the impression that the day to day work was done by a law clerk who did not seem to know what she was doing. Our transaction was a fiasco from beginning to end. There were lengthy delays answering emails, long delays providing closing figures, incorrect and insufficient information provided to us on several occasions and unprofessional behaviour by admin staff. For instance, after calling several times and asking for information that was needed for closing, I called a third time and told the secretary that I was frustrated that no one had returned my call since it was time sensitive. One of the clerks finally responded to me by email and the subject line of the email was unbelievably "[My name] is "frustrated" (LOL)". Yes it actually included the LOL! How incredibly unprofessional. I spoke to our lawyer about this but I didn't feel that he had taken it seriously at all. Another time, they responded to me with confidential financial information and cc another person that I don't even know! The person had the same first name as my husband. When I pointed this out, there was no apology. It was obvious that neither our lawyer nor law clerk had properly read out mortgage document because they both misquoted information contained in it. Their error very nearly ended up costing us almost $2000 and we had to spend considerable time and effort to correct their error. Their handling of our transaction caused us considerable stress and aggravation at both our interim and final closing. We would absolutely NEVER consider using this firm again! Terrible experience!!
