In a situation where the employer was attempting to avoid responsibility and refusing to take adequate steps, she listened attentively, asked the right questions, and provided succinct and efficient advice. She is highly recommended for any employment matter you may seek to resolve due to her knowledge, expertise, and overall human decency. Extraordinary experience with a legal professional in employment law.

I had a disappointing experience with this firm. Communication was a major issue -- I reached out…read morein July after not hearing back for months, and my emails (sent two weeks apart) went unanswered. When I finally received a response, I was told they had stopped representing me back in March, but I was never informed of this at the time. Despite this, I didn't receive an invoice until the end of July. When I asked about the delay, I was told it had originally been sent on March 7 by a different law clerk -- someone I had never interacted with -- and the message had landed in my junk mail. There was no follow-up until I reached out months later. Then it was discovered it was sent end of May, but that was only discovered after I followed up assuming I was still working with a lawyer. I was also concerned that there was confusion between our brand name and our legal entity -- they are similar, but one includes "Corp" and the other does not. This led to delays and the need for additional clarification. I felt that instead of replying to my email to address this concern, they simply decided to disengage -- but never informed me of that decision until months later, when I was in immediate need of legal support to resolve an employment and estate matter. Most troubling was that I was left to scramble to find new legal representation at a time when I believed I was still being supported by this firm. I had no indication that the relationship had ended, and I felt exposed during a period when I needed legal protection and continuity. When my file progressed and I reached out again, I was told: "Unfortunately due to current commitments, I am unable to re-engage at this time. I recommend that you promptly seek alternative legal counsel who can assist you without delay." I was also never provided with a clear quote or fee structure. After sending an initial retainer, I later received an invoice with additional charges -- which I only became aware of in late July. This lack of transparency made it difficult to plan or understand the full scope of costs involved. Finally, I was told that my March 3 email -- in which I expressed disagreement with some advice and asked to pause the matter -- was interpreted as a disengagement. However, I was never informed that the file had been closed, nor was I contacted to confirm this. I only learned of their position when I followed up months later. I would have appreciated clearer communication, more attention to detail, and timely updates about the status of our relationship. This experience left me feeling unsupported during a time when I needed clarity and guidance.

They say they listen, and care ,this is false and they will also just decide to fail to follow through and then just quit but even charge you more. They also unknowingly discriminate against individuals, I am not sure if this is the entire firm but one lawyer specifically cares only for her bank account. It is truly sad in today's society you still have individuals who don't care for their job but are basically sales people trying to take advantage of individuals like myself on limited income recovering from a TBI who also suffers from mental health issues. It was only when she heard this that she quit being by lawyer but also said she would increase my bill. The world is a sad place with individuals like this in it who still try and take advantage of the less fortunate...Look elsewhere for help and maybe people that care...

For several years I retained Judy Overgaard as my lawyer for my separation. Run! Do not, I repeat,…read moredo not go anywhere near this lawyer. She refused to stand up for me against the opposing lawyer, who was very aggressive. She allowed this lawyer to walk all over her, and by extension, me. I finally had enough when on at least 2 separate occasions she went behind my back, and did exactly what I told her not to do. She completely refused to follow my instructions, then had her junior lawyer tell me what she was doing. My last invoice was off by over $300, she blamed the accounting glitch in their software. That doesn't make any sense based on the error that was made. She is a complete coward, and hides behind excuses, and her junior lawyer. These are the actions of a partner? I paid her thousands of dollars this year alone, and she was completely incapable of advancing the file.

I handed two cases to Mr. Johnston, and I am satisfied with the outcomes. For one of the cases, my citizenship and job were at risk. I could have gotten my citizenship revoked and could have lost my job as well. The professionalism and competence of Mr. Johnston saved me and got me out of that difficult situation. He's a compassionate person and takes care of his clients. I was in a poor financial situation, and it was hard for me to pay the fee. I talked to Mr. Johnston about it. He was very understanding and gave me a very generous discount just out of compassion. Unlike other lawyers, Mr. Johnston focuses on getting people out of bad situations and solving the problem because he understands what people go through. Mr. Johnston thoroughly studies the cases and goes through the laws to find flaws to provide the best defense possible. Mr. Johnston is a man of his words and a great man overall. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
