I am incredibly grateful to Achkar Law for helping me navigate a very challenging professional situation. From my very first meeting, I knew I was in expert hands. My senior litigation lawyer, Gareth D'Costa, was absolutely phenomenal. He took the time to truly listen to my goals and looked out for my family’s best interests every step of the way. Gareth is a brilliant strategist—he cut through the noise, kept me calm under pressure, and negotiated a fantastic final outcome that gave me complete peace of mind. He is sharp, highly responsive, and deeply empathetic. I also want to thank Jason Jagpal and the rest of the team for keeping the administrative side of things moving so seamlessly behind the scenes. They were transparent about every detail and handled my file with the utmost integrity. If you need a legal team that will genuinely fight for you while treating you like a human being, I highly recommend reaching out to Gareth at Achkar Law. Thank you all for the outstanding support!

Response from the owner:Hi Yusri, wow, thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We're truly grateful. Gareth will be so glad to hear this. He genuinely pours himself into every file, and knowing that his strategy, responsiveness, and care helped bring you and your family peace of mind means the world. Jason and the rest of the team will also be thrilled to know their work behind the scenes made a difference. We always strive to treat our clients like real people going through real moments, not just files on a desk, so reviews like yours remind us why we do what we do. Wishing you and your family all the very best ahead, and thank you again for trusting Achkar Law.

Outstanding. I was referred to Jason Jagpal for assistance in negotiating my severance. From initial contact with the para that answered the main office line, through to final discussions with Jason, the entire experience was flawless: highly organized, effective, to the point. Jason was fully briefed before starting our meeting and provided clear unambiguous guidance. His recommendation was centered around what was the best approach for me, not for him. In the end, with his advice helped me get to a completely satisfactory agreement with a minimum of cost, time and energy. Five stars for sure.

Response from the owner:Hello Steven, We are glad to hear the process felt organized and straightforward from start to finish. Taking a clear, practical approach to severance negotiations can make a big difference in both outcome and efficiency. We’ll make sure Jason sees this. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

Response from the owner:Hello Hanna, it’s good to hear the session gave you clarity and helped you better understand your situation.

I can't recommend Chris and his team enough. From the very beginning they were incredibly supportive, professional, and reassuring during what was a very uncertain and stressful time. They helped me clearly understand my rights and, more importantly, laid out a thoughtful path and plan forward. Thanks to their expertise and guidance, I was able to achieve a positive outcome, which I’m truly grateful for. If you have ever been let go from a job, I strongly encourage you to speak with an employment lawyer, it makes a huge difference in understanding your options and advocating for yourself. I would recommend Chris and his team over and over again to anyone in need of trusted legal support.

Response from the owner:Hi Amanda, being let go from a role can be an uncertain and stressful experience, so it’s good to hear you felt supported and had a clear path forward. Understanding your rights early on can make a real difference in employment law matters like this. We appreciate you sharing your experience and your recommendation.

I was recently terminated without cause or notice from my place of employment after 15 years. I had met with a few other firms to discuss my case and when I had met with Nicolas at Achkar Law, the level or service he was able to provide was superior to the other lawyers I had met with. He took his time to explain everything to me after reviewing my file and answered any questions I had and was very understanding and sincere of the hard times that may be ahead of me through this period of my employment career. The other firms rushed through the consultation as if they were doing me a favour and made it feel like just a quick business transaction. I’m very happy I found Achkar Law on Google and reached out to them. I feel I made the right call retaining their services and would recommend this firm to anyone who may be going through the lose of their job.

Response from the owner:Hi Mike, being terminated without cause or notice after so many years is a difficult position to be in. It’s good to hear Nicolas took the time to walk through your situation carefully and answer your questions in a way that felt respectful and clear. Wrongful termination matters can feel overwhelming early on, and having that level of understanding makes a real difference. We appreciate you sharing your experience.

First time in need of these services and I am pretty amazed with the excellent service, follow up, attention to detail and emphatic approach of every one in this firm. I highly recommend everyone in need to contact ACHKAR LAW, they are not just a lawyers firm, they are HUMAN lawyers firm based on the people I have worked with so far. Finally, Elisha and Matt (the team that has supported me) has been in one word outstanding! Alberto Solano

Response from the owner:Hi Alberto, that means a lot, especially coming from a first experience facing something like this. It’s good to hear the process felt supportive and that the details were handled with care. We’ll make sure Elisha and Matt see this; they’ll appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

I recently hired Achkar Law for an employment-related issue, and it’s already been a really positive experience. Even in just a one-hour meeting, they were able to give me more clarity and direction than I’d gotten elsewhere over a much longer stretch. That alone made a big difference for me. They’re clearly very knowledgeable, but what stood out more was how easy they were to talk to. Nothing felt overly complicated or buried in legal jargon — they just walked through things in a way that made sense and laid out a few different options so I could understand the possible paths forward. By the end of it, I felt a lot more confident about where things stood and what to do next. If you’re dealing with something similar and just want clear, straightforward guidance, they’re definitely worth reaching out to.

Response from the owner:Hi Jeremy, it’s good to hear the conversation helped bring some clarity and direction early on. Keeping employment law discussions practical and easy to understand is important, especially when you’re figuring out next steps. Thanks for taking the time to share this.
