When I had the opportunity to sit with the lawyer she was friendly, attentive, and very well educated. She gave me honest answers to all my questions and provided me with all my options very clearly. It was a pleasure to talk with her and it made me feel a lot better about my situation. She calmed me down and made me feel heard and that I am not alone.I would recommend them to others.

    The whole team, from the start with Rachel and Charles to the conclusion of the hard work and success by Natalie was very positive. I have never been in a situation of constructive dismissal or without a job. They were an outstanding resource and well worth it. I hope they continue to expand their business and hopefully come out west. I would certainly recommend this company and particularly Natalie.

    I had the pleasure of working with Chris regarding a severance package. He was thorough, asked great questions, and made sure things I hadn't thought about were covered and that I was being treated fairly.

He clearly cares about people and that value came through in our conversations which I appreciated.
    My first consultation meeting with associate lawyer Mariel was very positive and helpful.

He demonstrated in depth understanding of the rules and laws surrounding my issue, which made me feel comfortable in his representation.I’ll continue to utilize the skills of Charles as well as the rest of his team.
    Charles is an absolute professional. He is approachable and answers all the questions that I have regarding my case.
