My wife and I visited Weir Bowen a few years ago to get a second opinion on an insurance claim we…read morewere fighting. My wife was worried that getting a second law firm involved would mean a greater cost to us. I knew that most law firms offer a free half hour consultation and figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. Our initial consult was with Phil Kirman. Phil was very thorough. After talking with one or two other lawyers in the office it was agreed that we could do much better than what our original lawyer was suggesting. For this incident, we ended up dealing mostly with a fellow named Dan K. Mainly because Dan works more closely with insurance related cases. Costs turned out to be similar to what they would have been if we had only used Weir Bowen. The insurance industry has a reputation for not being honest. Phil and Dan were very helpful. Both men are very compassionate, caring, and knowledgeable.

Joe Miller QC represented me in a malpractice claim. Over a ten year span I was continually…read moreimpressed with the strong team efficiency with which this firm functions. I know I couldn't have had a more professional, considerate, hard working and honest lawyer than I found in Joe Miller. As well, the support extended from other individuals at the firm, not directly involved in my claim, is noteworthy. This firm deals with aspects of law other than malpractice - it's worth checking the profiles on their website. They're top-notch!

Here are the procedural difficulties and chronic delays encountered during my personal dealings with the Edmonton firm, with the intention of providing information to others making decisions about legal representation. The validity of the factual claims presented here is supported by the firm's failure to respond to my correspondence instead opting instead to serve me with a cease and desist letter. Spectrum Family Law's communication techniques to resolve this divorce have been less "effective" and more "chronically delayed, with extended periods of unresponsiveness leading to significant procedural stagnation. This includes: - CHRONIC DELAYS: Extended periods of unresponsiveness, including gaps of months between email replies (at times attributed to vacation) and attempts to schedule meetings with you and your client were unacknowledged, and numerous emails were unanswered. - ARBITRATION FOLLOW-UP: 7 requests were required to complete the T2220 RRSP transfer form after the Arbitration Ruling. - REFUSAL TO COLLABORATE: I have requested numerous meetings (2024, 2025, & 2026), 4-way meeting, and to jointly attend an Alternative Dispute Resolution Meeting. No meetings were scheduled, so I consider this a refusal to collaborate. - ESCALATORY TACTICS: The regular use of threats of court actions, threatening to seek enhanced costs against me if I do not sign their Divorce Judgement, in addition to threatening a petition to enforce a name change. - Writing a CEASE AND DESIST LETTER to me with my employer's Human Resources address on it. Introducing a spouse's professional affairs into a divorce proceeding and a factual review of your firm is an unethical and highly inappropriate practice. - DOCUMENTATION DEFICIENCY: The firm is required to prepare Divorce Documents that include 'all aspects of the divorce'. The firm's draft of the Corollary Relief Order was not accepted as it omitted essential financial support provisions for the children while in post-secondary education, which is a mandatory component for the Joint Desk Divorce submission. This firm was aware that we had two children with one currently in post-secondary and one accepted to post-secondary, yet they opted to not include them. This conduct suggests a strategy focused on leveraging every available tool to force an unfair settlement, rather than facilitating a quick and fair resolution for the family. - UNWARRANTED EXPENSE DISCREPANCY: The firm requested reimbursement for the previous ten months of mutually agreed-upon children's expenses, claiming they were not qualifying Section 7 expenditures, despite both parties having paid them consistently on the first of every month. In my view, the firm's conduct reflects unprofessional and inefficient handling of the divorce process.

I felt that I was treated very fair and his communication was advanced. My situation was complicated with many different factors and it didn't take him any time at all to get on the same page. At no point did I feel forced or intimidated. He was very fair and honest and that's not something you hear very often about a lawyer. I got the feeling that his time is valuable and he knows yours is too. I'd recommend my friends and family to Nnam. After reading one of the reviews, I have to say make your own opinions because some people have a problem with everybody. A lawyer is a subject matter expert and we are not, therefore we use communication to bridge that gap. Don't wait until your situation gets so bad that "wanting" a lawyer turns into "needing" a lawyer. We have to help them help us.
