From the first consultation with the Paralegal, MacKenzie, to the follow up staff and now with Babak Sankari, I feel I have the right firm to guide me through this stressful time in my life as a former employee. They really have your back, very supportive, friendly, professional and thorough. I am only in the beginning stages of negotiation and I already feel so much relief and confidence that I chose the right law firm! Regardless of how this plays out, just knowing Babak is available for a chat or email is amazing with short notice. Thank you for listening and respect. I highly recommend Achkar Law and their incredible team!

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.

I had a very positive and comforting experience during my meeting with Nicholas. He answered all of my questions openly and honestly and completely eased my mind and made me very comfortable. I would completely recommend Achkar Law to absolutely anyone that has an issue with an employer.

Response from the owner:Hi Crystal, it’s good to hear the conversation with Nicholas helped put things in perspective and made the situation feel more manageable. Clear, straightforward discussions can make a real difference when dealing with an employment issue. We appreciate you sharing this.

Steven Hackney

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.

I also talked with grayce over the phone at first and she was amazing! Definitely people that care. Definitely would recommend :)

Response from the owner:Hello Hanna, it’s good to hear the session gave you clarity and helped you better understand your situation. Feeling heard and having things explained properly can make a big difference. We’ll be sure to share your feedback with Matthew and Grayce. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.
