Earlier this year I was tasked with finding legal advice for the first time in my life, which was extremely scary & overwhelming.
After a phone call with a lawyer referral service, I was directed to Lawyer Rosanna Adams, at Breakwater Law.
Val Blood, Legal Assistant, took my first phonecalls to the firm and helped me through all of the opening steps.
The service by both of them was exceptional, I immediately felt like I went to the right place, and hired them right away to help get me through the legal stages of my issue until resolved.
Val & Rosanna were both kind, efficient, professional

Jo represented me in my divorce and was so kind and informative. Things became 100% easier and more straightforward as soon as I reached out to Breakwater for support. Thanks to the whole team there!

Breakwater Law was one of the referrals my accounting firm provided to review the cohab agreement drafted by my partner's lawyer. Turns out Jo was an excellent choice, pointing out seemingly minor adjustments to language that greatly clarified intent and avoided any potential conflict with current precedents in BC Family Law. All of Jo's recommendations were agreed to by my partner's lawyer and the work was completed quickly and effectively for the very reasonable and agreed upon price. Completely satisfied with the service I received from Jo and Val at Breakwater Law.

Jo was recommended to me and I thank my lucky stars that I followed that advice! It was a terrifying time in my life with many unknowns and high emotion. Jo was calm, efficient and highly personable at all times. She expertly helped me formulate a plan, and then helped me to carry it out. Jo was the professional that I needed, and a kind friend during a very dark time. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a true professional.

Positive: Professionalism
I can't say enough great things about Jo and her whole team. They helped me through my divorce paperwork that I could never have figured out on my own. Thanks to all of you

Highly recommend! As first time parents we were absolutely put at ease with the help of Jo in creating our will. She walked us through everything. And even after with our many questions and edits, Jo and her team continue to support us. Very warm, knowledgeable and professional.

My experience with Jo was amazing! She helped me on several occasions during a very stressful time. She was there for me the whole way through and I feel so fortunate to have found her. She is a wonderful person, and a great lawyer.

We retained Breakwater Law on a couple of occasions, both of which were handled successfully and professionally in a friendly, intelligent and reassuring manner. We had complete trust in our lawyer, Jo McFetridge, who went the extra mile to understand our issues and to tackle them with thoroughness and insight. Jo was able to read the situation well and to intuit how to respond in the most beneficial way. We strongly recommend Jo McFetridge at Breakwater Law for your legal needs.

The team at Breakwater Law are first and foremost great people to talk to. They don't let the legal culture get in the way of providing you with expert advice and top notch service. They provided me with the right counsel at the right price and if, or when, I ever have need, I'll be going back to them.
