My review is based on one thing and its my biggest pet peeve about lawyers. 10 days ago I sent an…read moreemail request for information and an appointment to discuss. 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.

Phone calls and emails never returned.... paperwork was incredibly sloppy. I had to constantly correct him on dates, cities and spellings in his pleadings. Which should have been a very straight forward and inexpensive legal matter turned into a very very expensive matter. He failed to send me billings in a timely manner - and I had to challenge him on the honesty of the billings. I felt I had to pay for his incompetence. I feel he took advantage of me since I lived so far away.

and here is WHY! I consulted with Mr. Sartore regarding a matter for which I wanted to have a cease…read moreand desist letter send out. I came with a complete template to the consultation time and stated to him my reason to come to him is a letterhead by a lawyer makes more impact. We agreed and this was to be send within the week in time set we met, to be registered mail to addresse' so making sure the person it is directed to will sign for it, and cost be $300.00 dollar plus GST. I left his office having paid in full for service and price agreed on. I also ask to have copy of letter seen before send out should I feel need for changes. **He appologized for sending copy to me for approval as he was late with it. I again expressed making sure it is REGISTERED and gave OK.** After 5 attempts to hear back from Mr. Sartore if he had received a response to letter send eventual 1 month and 10 days after due date ,and when i put pressure to my request saying I want copy not only of his letter send but also proof it was send registered send since I want to go on with the matter but now choosing some other more to me competend to my matter lawyer. Next day Mr. Sartore called and told me it is ready for me to pic-up. At home going over the papers not only does his OFFICE *not* proof-read as my name was spelled total incorrect but he pretended to be a good fellow and to give me credit of $69.82 cent over and the agreed amount he now showed charging me?? Which was the now $360.00. To conclude: He is not in time but late to me unprofessional. He charges more from the agreed between us amount, and he had been paid He does NOT spell clients name in this case mine correct and that can have a possible inpact when matter goes to court. Legal Laws. Case can be dismissed. He does not care to notify within agreed time but is late. All of the above in my opinion are a sloppy way of handling legal offered service. I speak off my experience ONLY and this is not intended to influence anyone using the service of Mr. Sartore.

I worked with Victor Vogel and Kasey Anderson during my divorce and, unfortunately, my experience…read morewas deeply disappointing. A significant health issue, which had a direct impact on child support, was completely left out of my divorce agreement. This oversight resulted in two more years of legal battles, during which I was left without adequate child support while facing serious health challenges. I later learned from a new lawyer that this issue should have been addressed in the original agreement and is now being classified as a pre-existing condition--something that could have been avoided with more thorough representation. While I have been advised I have grounds to take legal action, I have no desire to go through that process again. I paid for trusted legal guidance and was left vulnerable at one of the most difficult times in my life. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this firm.

My negative review here is quite simple and the facts can be checked at the Calgary Courthouse…read morerecords section. I hired Brad Minuk to handle my divorce in August of 2016. At the time I needed someone to sign a power if attorney for me and Brad's office happened to be in the same building where one of my close friends had his at the time. That's how I came to hire Brad Minuk to handle my impending divorce. I inquired as to the cost as I didn't have much money at the time and was told that it would cost $1,000 all-in but I would have to do the filing work myself. I was also told that if I wanted Brad to do the filing up to and including the final divorce it would cost $1,500 all-in. I decided I could afford that and it would be worth it. Quite a few months went by, a portion of which time was my responsibility in getting certain documents to Brad and his associate. Brad used an agreement I had already worked out with my ex-wife to work out another more comprehensive settlement. I received some billing during this period but certainly not to the amount of $1,500 which I had given him in advance as requested. When the final agreement had been drafted I met with Brad again and was told that all the funds he'd had from me were used up and if I wanted the divorce to be filed and completed it would cost me another $1,000. He gave me all sorts of excuses, none of them satisfactory. As a result I then did the ENTIRE filing process on my own (without any assistance from Brad or his associates) and received my final decree in early March of 2019. To this day I am angry about being lied to and cheated by this man and currently feel the need to warn others who might fall into similar circumstances. Dr. Stefan Sikora

I want to post this so no one else goes through this. Christina Laughlin at the firm of Thompson…read moreLaughlin has stolen $2000.00 from us. We used her for buying a house. She held back $2500.00 for a survey needed on our house we were selling. After 7 months she has not returned the remainder of our money. On the day we got our new house she had not transferred the funds for that house. On possession day we were not able to get a hold of her. After calling for three hours she finally picked up her phone. She had told us over and over that she is looking into returning our money. She has no staff on phones to take messages and refuses to answer emails, phone calls, or texts. She is the worse lawyer ever. We have bought and sold a few homes and have never experienced this before. I say DO NOT USE HER EVER!!!!! She is keeping the amounts under a certain number so that she can only be sued in small claims court. I would give her zero stars if they had that on here. We have put in a complaint with the LAW SOCIETY OF ALBERTA. We really hope that they are able to do something to protect others from being scammed by her.

Multiple emails were sent and not returned, disbursements weren't calculated in a timely fashion, and my realtor had to call a number of times to have the keys released. The other documents had numerous spelling errors and font irregularities, and requested edits were not made. It was a really frustrating process that we paid a large sum of money for. I would not recommend using this lawyer.
