What Our Clients Are Saying

Extremely impressed with the team at Achkar Law! It was a pleasure dealing with Chris and his outstanding team. The entire team was prompt when responding to my enquiries and were very easy to work with.

I encourage anyone looking for an employment lawyer to contact Achkar Law, they will not be disappointed!
Recently, I contacted Achkar Law about a legal matter involving our company and I booked a one hour consultation to discuss our case in detail. I had a Zoom call with Filip, (it is so much easier than fighting traffic and meeting in a physical office) who is one of the Partners of the firm and he was able to give me some really excellent advice. All the issues and procedures, as well as expected costs, were clearly outlined by Filip, who has a calm disposition as opposed to myself, whom I am told can get excited while debating. This is why it is always advisable to retain professional legal representation as litigants tend to get emotional if they represent themselves.

I feel that our position on the matter was well understood by Filip at Achkar Law as he had read over our file before the Zoom meeting and had a good grasp of the issues involved. Legal matters are always quite stressful but we were put at ease when we discussed our case with him. After our meeting we decided to retain their services, and I was then able to relax knowing that we had the legal professionals of Achkar Law on our side protecting our legal interests.

I therefore recommend Achkar Law without hesitation.
Spoke with Charles on an employment law matter and the whole process from contacting the firm to the session itself was seemless and professional. Charles is knowledgeable and was quite helpful. I would definitely recommend Achlar Law for friends and Family.

Mark Jackman was very helpful in answering a question I had about a "in lieu of notice" termination letter. Response time from both Mark and Chris Achkar were very quick and I felt like they were very happy to be of service.
I was initially anxious about handling my situation, but meeting with Babak Sankani was exceptional. He provided clear answers to all my questions and outlined my options thoroughly.
It was a pleasure working with Madison. Her calm and pleasant demeanor put me at ease as she intelligently explained the legal process and guided me through mediation. I highly recommend this law firm. They are compassionate and genuinely care about the best outcome for their clients. Thank you Achkar Law!
I needed help with my recent termination and Achkar law was able to help me with everything I needed and provide detailed answers to my concerns in a way I could understand. I really like how they took the time to personally understand my situation and provide advice in a quickly. I also did not use all the time I paid for and have offered to provide more advice or answer more of my questions should they arise to use up the rest of my time without an extra fee. If you need help with your employment issue, I would not hesitate to contact Akchar law!
