I was pushed into something I said no to because she would not continue on with my claim, then they had the nerve to take over HALF of my settlement, Watch out when you sign on to this firm as they do not consider the disbursements (which are usually more than the fees) part of their fees.

I hired Doniger to prepare an affidavit and to present this affidavit in court. It took 6…read moreunbelievably stressful weeks to finally get to the point where my matter could be heard in court. These delays occurred because Doniger was unable to ascertain exactly what court she needed to present my affidavit (i.e. Provincial Court or Queen's Bench and jurisdictions issues Edmonton Court or Medicine Hat Court). Doniger was also unable to acquire previous parenting orders that were necessary to complete the affidavit. Doniger also hired a very expensive agent to represent her without telling me first. I didn't give her my consent to do this but she did so anyway. Now she is expecting me to pay for this agent's service. Both the agent and the judge were unclear of exactly what the affidavit was asking for. I was seeking a chasing order to have my children returned from Quebec back to Alberta and nowhere in her affidavit did it mention this. Furthermore, the affidavit was filled with mistakes and it was incomplete as key parenting orders were missing. To make matters worse, she attached a second affidavit to the original on the behalf of my mother. The agent and the judge were both confused why she would include an additional affidavit on the behalf of my mother - this was redundant and it only made things more complicated. Doniger also instructed me and my mother to make the costly and lengthy trip (15 hours return and 1 night in a hotel room) to Medicine Hat so that we could appear in court in person. The agent she hired was confused why we were in Medicine Hat in the first place as he explained to us appearing here in person was completely unnecessary. While my matter was being presented in court I didn't have to comment on anything nor did they need my signature. The court was unable to use the affidavit created by Doniger because it was confusing, contained mistakes, and incomplete and the agent had no choice but to ask the judge to put the matter over to a later date. I paid Doniger $1,500.00 and 6-weeks later she accomplished absolutely nothing for me. Upon my return from my unnecessary road trip from Medicine Hat, Doniger actually had the audacity to ask me for an additional $2,000.00 to revise her original affidavit so she could present it in court. This is when I terminated her services. She also tried to pass the blame on to me by saying that I should have known what courtroom my matter should have been presented in and by saying that it was my responsibility to produce the key documents necessary to complete my affidavit. In a chasing order time is essential; 6-weeks later, I'm no closer to having my matter heard in court compared to the first day I contacted Doniger. My children are now well established in Quebec and the likelihood of having a judge order them back to Alberta are now slim to none. I REGRET HIRING DONIGER AND I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND HER.
