I recently was wrongfully terminated from my position and when calling in asked about if the…read morelawyers would work for contingency. I was informed that they do, it was up to the lawyer if they would, there is a $500.00 consultation fee for 1 hour. I pay the fee,and the lawyer called 10 minutes late, said they only work contingency with people that earned over 100k. Told me I could take them to small claims court and a few other things but really not worth the $525.00 (500+ tax) that I paid. The entire call was 20 minutes long. The receptionist could have informed me about the minimum wage required before I wasted my money. S. Monfette

Unacceptably slow responses cost me money and added stress…read more I retained Alex Lucifero, partner at Samfiru Tumarkin in August 2023. While I don't believe his representation improved the outcome, I was satisfied with the expertise and legal advice I received. The problem, rather, was related to response times. Replies to my simple, sometimes time-sensitive questions, by email, repeatedly went unanswered for over a week, despite many follow-ups to Mr. Lucifero and his assistant. As I write this, I've been waiting on a reply to one last question for 85 days (60 days since I asked it the third time.) As a result of all the delays, I ended up losing about $900. Mr. Lucifero also missed a calculation error that would have cost me $4,400 had I not caught it myself. Beyond the financial impacts, Mr. Lucifero's lack of attention to my dossier added considerable stress during an already stressful time. I know I am not a big fish. In hindsight, I wish I'd taken my business elsewhere or asked for a more junior lawyer who might have been more attentive.

I can't say enough.

Whatever the cause, these are times of confusion, hurt, and personal unravelling, when we are no longer able to advocate for ourselves. It is at these times when we need the intervention, strategy and help of a strong professional lawyer the most! Someone to offer the steadfast presence, expert insight and guiding light to navigate the storm and see us through to safe ground. When we don't know where to turn for help, making the critical decision of reaching out for expert legal advice versus "letting things play out" will make the greatest difference of all to the outcome. For me, the person who made this difference in my life, in a radical, uplifting and significant way, is Mr. Ian Furlong, Partner at Thomson Rogers. I will forever be grateful to Mr. Furlong for his intervention, counsel and support at a time when I was unable to fight for myself. I cannot stress the importance of being so strongly supported, guided, defended and protected or the benefit of knowing that someone trusted and capable is in charge. It is my wholehearted hope that anyone looking for guidance or pertinent legal help reaches out to him & Thomson Rogers. Had it not been for Mr. Ian Furlong's legal counsel, as well as his generosity, empathy and kindness, I would have never been able help myself or achieve a positive outcome from unexpected and trying circumstances. Thanks to his professional and personal example, I will always think of reaching out for his legal counsel first in the future! It is truly the straightest path to the best outcome!

They immediately put me in touch with Dr. Josh Brandis, part of the Toronto Accident Rehab group, who visited my home for a month and a half to help me heal . Michelle Kudlats was in charge of my case and she did an amazing job helping me through all the blazing hoops. It was by no means an easy case because the driver did not have a license or insurance (and then he disappeared!) But Michelle kept fighting and she and Dr. Brandis made sure I did not pay a penny for ANY of my health expenses. When the settlement finally came through I was thoroughly shocked about the amount of money I received. I can tell you it was about 5x what I was expecting to get. I think many lawyers get you in and out of their system as fast as they can, committed to getting you a settlement, but not willing to put in a lot of extra effort. Michelle did this for me and I am very grateful!
