I have used Torkin Manes twice. For an important case Danny Melamed did really well in mediation…read more For a smaller case he oversaw a junior lawyer who represented me. Again, we did very well. Danny does not come cheap but the level of expertise is worth it. I would say though that you have to be a proactive client and do leg work needed to have a strong case. Highly recommend.

When I was looking for a lawyer for my separation process I was really worried. I heard horror…read morestories from friends where they paid so much and in the end didn't get the results. Or that they had a lawyer that did nothing. A friend of mine recommended Torkin Manes more specifically Jennifer L. Wilson who is one of the partners at Torkin Manes. http://www.torkinmanes.com/people/details/jennifer-wilson Always have that initial consultant with the lawyer and see how you feel about this person that will be helping you. My initial meeting with Jennifer went great. I had a great feeling about her and how she will help me with my case. Jenifer is such a great lawyer. She's patient, helpful, caring and always gets the work done. Plus she has many years of experience. I'm stressed from this whole process but every time I meet or speak with Jennifer she puts me at ease. Lawyers have a bad rep for wanting to take their clients money pushing their Clients to do thing at the firms interest. However it's not the case with Jennifer. She's always honest with me and would tell me if I'm wasting my money going a certain route and I really appreciate her advice. Jennifer is wonderful and I am so grateful that a friend recommended me to her. Jennifer made my separation process a lot easier and with her by my side I'm excited to get the separation process over with and move on with my life. I highly recommend Jennifer Wilson At Torkin Manes!!! Along side a lawyer you need an amazing Assistant. Jennifer's assistant Katia is amazing. She's so helpful and her service is amazing. What a great team! Please do not try to save money by getting the cheapest lawyer. Get the best lawyer and you will get results.

Firstly, I am a real person; this is a real review…read more Secondly, I sincerely doubt the positive reviews are genuine. Thirdly, I had the misfortune of consulting w/Ms. O'Connor. I found this individual to be unprofessional, condescending and belligerent. She insulted and berated me; she was angry & argumentative; she twisted my words & gaslighted me throughout the entire consultation. Her behavior was disgraceful and she should be ashamed of herself. I wouldn't dream of paying this entitled, arrogant and verbally abusive person a cent. She deserves Zero Stars: Beware! Lawyers, generally speaking, are not trusted, I cannot imagine why!

I had a phenomenal experience working with Andreas at Aura LLP. It was my first time ever needing a…read morelawyer and I was so comforted to find that Andreas is communicative, thorough, and most importantly for me, compassionate. He is concise and clearly invested in ensuring the best possible outcome for his clients. Andreas is an astute lawyer. He was always clear, easy to talk to, and deeply knowledgable. I will be back. I would entrust Andreas with any legal matter. I'm not sure what "bedside manner" is called for lawyers, but Andreas has it. Thanks! Kathryn

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.

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.
