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!

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.

After spending a great deal of time contact several law firms to help with my real estate purchase,…read moreI selected Aura LLP lawyers and damn glad I did! Other firms I contacted, I was always connected with an assistance or intake person who had me fill out forms and sent me information for their fees which was convoluted and had the actual true fees buried and hidden in their document. Not sure why this is so common practice nowadays. I initially reached out to Aura because of their advertised pricing on their website which was then plainly and clearly confirmed in writing by Andreas who handled all the communication himself. Andreas is the lawyer who worked on my transaction. The very fact that Andreas answered my questions and handled my intake really set him apart from the crowd of other firms. The initial consultation with Andreas reinforced the fact that we had made the right choice as he re-assured us he will deal with any and all issues arising from the transaction. Unfortunately our purchase was riddled with issues with the seller and agent. Ultimately they had ripped out fixtures they were not supposed to and we are in the processing of dealing with that post-closing. Not only did Andreas gave care to our transaction like it was his own, he helped us understand our rights and options for litigation for various issues we had with the seller. In total, I'd estimate that he'd provided us 2-3 hours of extra legal advice and consultation above and beyond the real estate purchase. That was beyond appreciated and reminds of what a great decision it was to have him on our side. And did I mention his rate was below all the other folks that I contacted? Andreas was responsive, professional, firm, and not only makes you feel that he serves your best interest, he demonstrates it through his attention and actions. This glowing review may seem like a shill but I have gladly asked Andreas to use me as a reference for anything that is interested to know more about my experience with Aura LLP. In my previous real estate transactions I would have rarely spoken to the lawyer...it would only be on the signing of the documents briefly. Would be lucky if he even responded to any emails...usually it's their assistant that I speak to. If you are on the fence or wondering if you should engage Aura, just book a consultation, and ask to speak with Andreas and you'll know what I mean. You'll be glad you have him at your corner of the ring as I sure am!
