The email form was right off their website. What did I hear back? Crickets... nothing. Why encourage people to send an email when there is not going to be a response?? Even if everyone but one person is away on vacation, surely that one person can reply to the email to just say... we received your email and someone will be able to call you on (date). These lawyers may be the best in town but it is not worth much if you cannot get ahold of them.

We partner with clients to find efficient, effective and fair solutions for their family law and estate needs. We are focused on results: often these can be achieved without the time and expense of court. Nonetheless, we are committed to exploring the full range of legal processes that may prove beneficial to our clients. Our extensive experience has informed our belief that the process of resolving family law disputes can be as important as the issues at stake. Few families find going to court is the most effective way to achieve resolution. Although we are respected courtroom lawyers, we often guide clients to alternative dispute resolution processes that allow families to retain control of negotiations and arrive at agreements that will serve them well for the long term.

We went to her for a basic update our wills, EPOA and PD, and found her approach to be quite openly…read morejudgmental, even accusatory. It appears she has a grudge against women and is quick to accuse them of negative things she anticipates/assumes they will do in the future. If you choose to go to her, expect to feel judged and morally reprimanded at some point, as well as being told what to do without you asking for an opinion first. It's sad that a "professional" would so openly judge our personal choices, our marriage, and even our future choices that we haven't even made yet. Perhaps compassion and withholding judgement are not common traits in lawyers but I expected more professionalism. Also, she said the cost would be three times the quote she gave over the phone for a basic update, with no explanation as to why.

Disclaimer: Everything said in this post is my own personal opinion and cannot be relied on as…read morefact. I can't be happier that my spouse chose Resolve Legal Group to represent her in our divorce because her case was idiotic and she lost. She spent about $20,000 on a parenting rights/home possession case after filing an emergency application in Family Court. A 1st year lawyer was assigned to keep costs down and sat on the case for ~6 months. Then Resolve assigned an "experienced" lawyer (didn't have 3 years' experience from what I could determine) at a much higher cost. The case kept going to Morning Chambers and was delayed partly because of his ambush techniques and partly because of my ex-wife's affidavits. Her lawyer communicated late Fridays. Then he submitted an affidavit the day before court after getting a fiat to allow him to do so in Morning Chambers. The case was postponed again because my lawyer didn't have a chance to read it, but it was another $3k in my ex-wife's lawyer's pocket right? (I believe that he charged around $3k for a court appearance.) So every delay was 'ching ching' in his pocket. While sitting on the bench waiting, he appeared to be working on other cases on his laptop thus was he double billing? Her affidavits were full of hearsay and contained accusations that had nothing to do with parenting. I can't believe the Resolve lawyer did not advise her that hearsay was not evidence. Word to the wise, stay on topic. She was trying to assassinate my character, but emails to herself describing the names I called her during arguments are hearsay and not evidence. Note to self, if there is no witness you "can" devote a paragraph to hearsay but do not inundate your affidavit with pages of emails or notes in a diary as it is not evidence (without a witness). This kind of hearsay creates an impression with the judge that there is extreme turmoil that harms the child. But the judge will not assign blame, one reason is because people usually do not go around swearing at their spouses without being provoked. Another accusation involved 'disappearing' money without evidence. The case is about parenting and possession of home! If money disappeared she should have filed a criminal case. It won't be solved in Family Court. Judges in Alberta are known to be the worst in Canada. The male judges, 9 times out of 10 in my opinion are the biggest self-important egotistical a-holes I have ever seen and they do not follow the law. They bark. They are as rude as possible and many times don't hear arguments. In 2017, Robin Camp, an Alberta Federal judge advised a rape victim on the witness stand that if she did not wish to be raped she should have kept her knees together. That's the Alberta legal system in a nutshell. Worst of all, these Alberta judges give 'interim' orders which make no sense and infringe on your rights. By "nature" they are deemed 'imperfect'. So you cannot appeal these orders even if they are illegal by taking away all of your legal and Charter rights. You can however go to court to 'change' them. I did not have a chance to as my case was over the day a female judge took over. In Morning Chambers there was a different judge every time; bizarre. The female judge, unlike the males, was not rude at all and sympathetic. She gave me shit, which I deserved, so she did not pick sides. She was no-nonsense, only valued real evidence, however, she did comment on the hearsay evidence and how it affected the child. She affirmed that the child is the most important factor in her decision. The Legal Aid lawyer assigned to the child reported that the child wanted to stay with his father. This is critical even if your kid is under 14. Kid's views matter. I provided real evidence as to how I was involved in the child's education and health. I had emails to his school and their responses, and I arranged and took the child to every medical or psychological appointment. I coached his soccer team etc. That evidence and the child's statement won the case. Note, deny every hearsay accusation made against you. No explanation, just say that "it is my belief that these accusations are false". It is up to the accuser to prove them. Email 'signatures' from Resolve Legal show Consumer Choice Awards. In today's world, a PR firm can be hired to game any online rating system. Their website reviews read as if a lawyer wrote them. Look to various chat groups about lawyers and you will read the truth. Resolve Legal Group supplied a lawyer to my ex who was so inept it is my belief he helped win me the case; charged double what my ex was told. According to her, he said I would pay for his fees which doesn't happen when you lose a case. Ex-wife is in shock, has to move, is out $20k. It is my belief Resolve took a brain-injured woman on disability to the cleaners without a second thought. Took a chunk of her life savings. She'll never get it back. I guess ethics and morality is an option. I do not recommend Resolve Legal Group.

He will always have your best interests at heart. You may not always like his advice, but his advice will always be within the scope of the law, have your best interests in mind and at the end of the day, the decision is yours unless your decision might compromise his oath or his ethics. He also doesn't nickel and dime you with, "billable hours", where he jots down every single minute of conversation during his representation of you. He is fair to both himself and to you as a client. I'm now in the latter stages of entering retirement and I'm glad I'll be there before Terry as I would not want to have to try to find a new lawyer who I would could trust and have as good a one on one relationship as I have had with Terry over the decades.
