They were great initially very quick to respond. However, when it came to closing, my closing was…read moredelayed a day due to their lack of due diligence of ensuring the builder of my new condo build provided the correct master insurance binder letter. Because of this, my lender didn't want to close. The lawyer's office was not proactive in advising me of this issue until I called them to ask when I was getting my keys. They then asked me to provide them with my builders contact info. (Shouldn't they have already had this informaton?!) With only just an hour to close, they were not able to get the corrected binder letter, and then they had the audacity to tell me it was my lenders fault. I did all the closing paperwork and payment a few days before hand, so they had plenty of time to identify they had the wrong information from the builder and could have corrected it in time. After being upset that I didn't close on time, as it was a huge inconvenience to me, I was then told I should not have expected to get my keys on closing day, and that they had previously especially informed me of this. This was a complete outright lie. I was told not to expect my keys before 5pm on closing day. I have several properties and have had multiple closings, and never have I ever been delayed in getting keys especially when the closing should have been as cookie cutter as this with a new condo build.

Unfortunately our experience was the complete opposite of the other reviewers here…read more We used this law firm for our condo purchase. While our lawyer was personable and attentive in person, we really got the impression that the day to day work was done by a law clerk who did not seem to know what she was doing. Our transaction was a fiasco from beginning to end. There were lengthy delays answering emails, long delays providing closing figures, incorrect and insufficient information provided to us on several occasions and unprofessional behaviour by admin staff. For instance, after calling several times and asking for information that was needed for closing, I called a third time and told the secretary that I was frustrated that no one had returned my call since it was time sensitive. One of the clerks finally responded to me by email and the subject line of the email was unbelievably "[My name] is "frustrated" (LOL)". Yes it actually included the LOL! How incredibly unprofessional. I spoke to our lawyer about this but I didn't feel that he had taken it seriously at all. Another time, they responded to me with confidential financial information and cc another person that I don't even know! The person had the same first name as my husband. When I pointed this out, there was no apology. It was obvious that neither our lawyer nor law clerk had properly read out mortgage document because they both misquoted information contained in it. Their error very nearly ended up costing us almost $2000 and we had to spend considerable time and effort to correct their error. Their handling of our transaction caused us considerable stress and aggravation at both our interim and final closing. We would absolutely NEVER consider using this firm again! Terrible experience!!

I recently was wrongfully terminated from my position and when calling in asked about if the…read morelawyers would work for contingency. I was informed that they do, it was up to the lawyer if they would, there is a $500.00 consultation fee for 1 hour. I pay the fee,and the lawyer called 10 minutes late, said they only work contingency with people that earned over 100k. Told me I could take them to small claims court and a few other things but really not worth the $525.00 (500+ tax) that I paid. The entire call was 20 minutes long. The receptionist could have informed me about the minimum wage required before I wasted my money. S. Monfette

Unacceptably slow responses cost me money and added stress…read more I retained Alex Lucifero, partner at Samfiru Tumarkin in August 2023. While I don't believe his representation improved the outcome, I was satisfied with the expertise and legal advice I received. The problem, rather, was related to response times. Replies to my simple, sometimes time-sensitive questions, by email, repeatedly went unanswered for over a week, despite many follow-ups to Mr. Lucifero and his assistant. As I write this, I've been waiting on a reply to one last question for 85 days (60 days since I asked it the third time.) As a result of all the delays, I ended up losing about $900. Mr. Lucifero also missed a calculation error that would have cost me $4,400 had I not caught it myself. Beyond the financial impacts, Mr. Lucifero's lack of attention to my dossier added considerable stress during an already stressful time. I know I am not a big fish. In hindsight, I wish I'd taken my business elsewhere or asked for a more junior lawyer who might have been more attentive.
