Lisa helped advise me during a recent employment law dispute. It was time sensitive and she quickly navigated the various clauses in my contract, the legal precedent, and provides suggestions of how to precede. She also took into account what I personally wanted out of a possible resolution, which I appreciated.
Couldn't be happier with the experience. I absolutely would go to her for council in future employment matters. I recommend her for any employee with an employment law issue.

Teryl Scott Lawyers did my will and estate planning for me. It was super easy, I had 1 call to learn about the process and they asked me a few questions about my last wishes. Then I went to the document signing and we reviewed over my last wishes, filled in the blanks on questions I took some time to think about and they completed the rest!
Very happy to have them as my lawyer, I would highly recommend.

Lisa was fantastic to deal with, and helped our organization with not only what we originally sought assistance with, but also with a few other items we weren't even aware of. She was very in tune with our needs, and a pleasure to do business with. Would recommend to others.

Lisa was very professional and knowledgeable, overall, she made me feel her services were money very well spent. She helped me prepare my case in a way I would have never considered. I felt very supported the entire time and felt I had a worthy coach in my corner. What I thought was extremely difficult before was made so much easier and I came through more easily and quickly than I ever expected.
Lisa, thank you very much for your time and expertise.

I had a good experience with Teryl Scott through my mediation. Lisa did a great job of informing of the process of mediation across distant (Ontario & Nova Scotia) provinces. My file was quite complex given my financial situation; however, I thought Lisa did a good job of managing expectations throughout the process.
In hindsight, I would recommend we add additional mediation time for more complex situations (like mine), though, I recognize my situation was unique which created a bit of unnecessary rushing at the end. I'd highly recommend this firm and Lisa for any mediation! I would have liked

Lisa Teryl’s guidance with a Small Claims case, that wasn’t actually so small, proved to be on point and indispensable in developing a winning strategy. Her analytical skills and judgement, combined with her creative problem solving, allowed for possible solutions not readily apparent to someone without the knowledge and experience she has. It was certainly worth having Lisa on my side.
Highly recommended.
