HMH Law offices - where do I start? I love this place. The staff - Amazing! From closing deals with Eve or Hazel or refinancing with Lori. Opening a Corp with Cheryl was super easy and done to meet my business needs. Doug Hill - the most down to earth, easy to talk to, level headed lawyer I’ve ever met. He makes time to walk me through good deals and hard ones. This is office is a complete package. Can I give it a 10 star🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Overall a great experience working with the team at MHM Law Offices. Doug, Mark and the rest of the team were responsive and knowledgeable. They were willing to spend the time to answer questions even before becoming a client so I appreciated the good customer experience and felt comfortable moving forward with them for a quick closing.

Doug Hill has been our lawyer for over 35 yrs. He has been there when we needed him. He assisted us when we had issues building our first house and most recently with a claim on our house insurance. We had been dealing with the insurance for over six months. Doug listened to our concerns and answered all our questions. He gave us good honest advice and direction. We don’t know what he did, he performed magic and the insurance company settled within a week. He is fast, efficient and affordable. He is very professional when dealing with people.
In our eyes, Doug is amazing, we will continue to

I am not the type of person to give a negative review on anyone, but I feel that I must write one now, to let other potential clients know what I experienced dealing with Mr. Hill and his staff. Information was sent to Mr. Hill to look over and have me sign in order to transfer property. After waiting over a month, I contacted his office and spoke to Sarah. She seems bored when I explained that I needed him to contact me to sign the papers. She said that she would let him know. Another five days went by with no return call. Over the next 2 weeks I called several times and spoke to Sarah, and Heddie

Overall, my husband and I had an excellent experience with Doug Hill & team. They just finished helping us with the purchase of our second home. His team answered all of our questions, were quick to respond, very professional and made the entire process feel seamless. Closing day was so smooth and we got into our home bright & early! Would recommend!

The Law Firm Hogben Mayhew Hill is the only law firm in Barrie of numerous I contacted for help that actually took the time to help. I met with Doug Hill he is the nicest, done to earth, caring person that you would be wanting to deal with in a life stress or important life matter situation. The office staff is friendly, caring and very helpful. I would recommend this law firm for anyone who wants things done promptly and efficently.
Thank you again everyone at Hogben Mayhew Hill Law Firm

My experience with Mr. Hill was a negative one. Each time I was in an appointment with him he would either answer a phone call or another matter would arise and he would just leave the room. I never had a meeting with him where he just focused on my concerns without being interrupted by someone else’s. My matters did not seem to be important to him. Would not recommend using him if you want your matters taken seriously.

This spring my fiancee and I purchased our first home. As expected there was a load of stress put on us during this period and we were a little overwhelmed with everything that needed to be done before we closed. After our first meeting with Mark Weir we felt a huge weight lifted off our shoulders and we knew that he and the rest of HMH was going to take care of us. They outlined and clearly explained everything to us and made what appeared to be a difficult and stressful process extremely easy. We would recommend the HMH team in a heart beat and will certainly be going back for future services

STAY AWAY FROM THIS FIRM! HORROR STORY TO FOLLOW!
The real estate company that recommended this firm [when buying a home] has cut all ties with this organization. This is because of the unbelievable and traumatic experience that was solely a product of Doug Hill and this firms' lack of competence, and professionalism. Very recently, a relative of mine purchased their first home, and here is a short list of the horrible experience:
1) On move in day, the previous owner was still present at the property unexpectedly! They hadn’t even moved out yet. Guess what though? Doug Hill and his
