Joseph Addelman is one of the most professional, honest and hardworking men I have ever seen. I maintained professional approach with Joseph, referring to him by his full name - he made me feel safe when told me to call him Joe and he familiarized himself with me. I have been recommended many lawyers, but the one I was referred many times was Joe. From the moment he took my case to the moment where he dropped it - he kept walking beside me step by step all the way ensuring that there is nothing to worry about. He was present for every step of the way. He is very well versed in criminal law. This

I came in with a heavy case and Joe was able to get me the sentencing that I wanted. Everything went as smooth as it couldd have. Joe always answered my phone calls to respond to any questions I had no matter how silly the questions were and he always kept our relationship super professional

So 4 years ago I got wrongfully accused and charged for a case I didn’t do. When I first called joseph addelman I didn’t know what to expect, everyone kept telling me he’s a very good lawyer but I was skeptical and didn’t know if I was making the right decision. I thought the crown and judge were going to fry me because there was little to no evidence to prove my innocence. At the time I was under a lot of stress and I would argue with joe because I didn’t have that much confidence in him at first. But man did he prove me wrong… I honestly have to say joseph is the BEST lawyer I have

I have retained Jason Gilbert from the firm for multistage case. He betrayed me in every single stage. Impolite, does not return calls and do things without client consent. He could not succeed in anything and was harmful to me. You do not want to end up hiring enemy.

Before I even contacted Addelman Baum Gilbert firm, I heard nothing but good things from people. Since the get-go Joseph Addelman has gone above and beyond for my case and always made me feel very assured with his responsiveness and professionalism. I was very happy with the outcome of my case and his flexibility throughout the whole process. Highly recommend him to anyone!

Joseph Addelman was recommended to me and I am so happy I contacted him to represent me. As embarrassing as it was for me to appear in court, Joseph never treated me like I was any less of a person for going through what I was going through. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. Highly recommend him to anyone.

Joseph Addelman has renewed my faith in lawyers. He's that good. Nobody wants to be in a situation where you need this service but if you happen to find yourself there, I would not hesitate to contact Joe for help. It's no exaggeration to say he saved my life. He made me feel like I was being taken care of and I was confident I was in good hands.
Thanks for everything, Joe.

Joseph Addelman has been my boyfriend’s lawyer for many years and always gets him the best outcomes and is honestly the best defence lawyer he has ever dealt with. He is honest and upfront about every situation and scenario and will guide you in the best direction based on his client’s feelings and well-being. He is always available and returns phone calls and texts quickly. We both highly recommend Joseph Addelman if you are in need of a good and respectable defence lawyer!

Joseph Addelman is one of the best lawyers in Ottawa, probably even in Ontario. He saved me after I made a devastating mistake. Addelman gave me another chance to rehabilitate myself, and become an ordinary member of society. I owe Joseph my life.
Just know if you pick him as your lawyer, he will fight for you, and that you are in great hands. Joseph will get you the best possible outcome for your case, I was referred to him by some friends, I was extremely fortunate to have him represent me for my case. He is the best in the city. He is always organized, on time, concise, and he has an excellent

Joseph Addelman is indeed one of the best lawyers in the province. He will fight for the outcome you desire and win. I made a life altering mistake and Joseph aided me in being able to become a normal member of society once again.
Joseph will work with you to make sure he’s able to represent you if you’re not currently financially stable, he will help you create some type of payment plan and that is an outstanding characteristic. He truly cares about his clients.
I had seen and heard very positive things about the services Joseph provides before I was in the situation where I needed legal

Do not hire Richard ADDELMAN or anybody from his firm, you're better off representing yourself! READ TO THE END!

Dear reviewers, if you are in need of a lawyer or any sort of legal advice do not waste a dime on Richard Addelman. Since he is unable to remember my name when I call or remember my file when we have sit down meetings, I am happy to write this review for all to read and for him to remember.

First off, Richard did not get the result he sold me on from the day we met. Since I am somewhat responsible for the end result, this review is not based on the courts decision, it is here
