We hired Elizabeth Bratton from Nelligan Law to represent us in a dispute with Tarion and an…read moreinternational home builder. From the start, we were impressed by Nelligan's collaborative approach--Elizabeth was our main point of contact, and she had access to a knowledgeable team for support in areas like real estate law and research. Elizabeth is brilliant, strategic, and incredibly effective. She represented us in mediation and pre-LAT negotiations, ultimately securing what we felt was a satisfactory outcome. Beyond her legal expertise, her emotional intelligence stood out--she was empathetic, transparent, and always mindful of costs. We also had great experiences with Jake Ruddy and Natalie Lalonde. We wouldn't hesitate to work with Elizabeth again. Highly recommend!

This is just a heads up review of one of the associates that works at this firm and the potential…read morerepercussions it may have on your representation if you were to retain this individual's counsel. This comes from a facebook thread of where I repeatedly asked for credentials to prove her licensing and an explanation as to why she was using an alias while replying with her biased opinions over a foreign legal matter. My suggestion would be to flee this counselor with haste if you want a proper representation in the legal system. Claudia Ximena Bordes and her comments on how she views her clients and their creepy nature: "Wow. This is pretty intense. For the record, most of the lawyers I know (family bar, Ottawa) don't use their regular names on Facebook; it would be way too easy for our clients to track us down and start creeping us." The Facebook name that this was under is Jim Bordes. Steer clear of this attorney. She is clearly violating the very Rules of Professional Conduct regarding ethics and should be reviewed by the Law Society of Ottawa. .

Mr. Merizzi is the lawyer, and he has pawned my off to Leo Dwyer (Estate Clerk) who only talks a big game. They have sent out ZERO proof that they are not stealing the money from the estate. I keep calling and emailing and now Leo Dwyer is pissed off at me for wanting an accounting of the funds and I still have no clue as to why they have not paid out. So, I contacted Mr. McGuinty Sr. and he promised to get back with me at the start of June 2024. As of today June 13, 2024. I have received ZERO Money and ZERO proof that the law firm is not stealing the money from the estate. Today I spoke with a very rude Leo Dwyer (Estate Clerk) and he got me off the phone quickly. 7 1/2 years has now passed by and still have no clue what they are doing. Leaving your estate to those you care about is a nice gesture. Having this Law Firm handle that estate is a risky venture. *UPDATE*. The case has now finished. I found out that the law firm was not stealing from the estate. However it took just over 6 years (December 2022) to settle the case and I feel that it was totally handled wrong. They sat on everything until I started calling in January 2024 demanding an update. There are 3 of us that were in the will. They stopped looking for 1 person. They started looking again at the start of 2024 with me calling several times over the last 6 months. All of a sudden that person was found. Now the funds have been distributed. A lot less than expected. I will stand firm that the case was mishandled this case over the last 7 1/2 years. I still stand by my words that this firm is not the right firm to handle your Will.
