I became a lawyer because I like taking care of people so they can relax and focus on living their lives. Before law school I spent years as a government relations professional, explaining the effects of laws and policies to politicians so they could understand how their decisions affect people- from students to small business owners.

Our family can highly recommend Charthouse Lawyers, and especially Spencer Keys, as he went above and beyond what we ever expected. Seventeen years ago we had some legal papers drawn up by a previous law firm at the same address and, for specific reasons, these had never been completely finalized. Recently these documents have become a necessity, so we asked Charthouse for advice and they had no hesitation in finalizing everything for us. Although we offered, and were certainly expecting to pay, they advised us that, since they had taken over the previous law firm that we had dealt with, we had

When my mother passed away, I had a very difficult time dealing with a terrible executor,
who was running our family estate into the ground. Spencer was a saving grace during what was the most challenging and difficult time of my life. His knowledge, expertise, ability to problem solve and think outside of the box, was a Godsend to me and my family. On top of that, he was kind, patient, personable and went the extra mile as a human being. This man is the best at what he does and there are not enough stars to rate this incredible service. This man is a gem. H.L.H

Charterhouse, specifically Darlene, made my job as executor of my dads will as painless as it could be. Her knowledge and experience with estate planning helped me navigate a very difficult time. I highly recommend Charterhouse for all estate related legal dealings.

It you're looking for a lawyer, Charthouse Lawyers is ace! Spencer swiftly reworked a business document for me and inserted much needed additions that I wouldn't have thought of. His cordial demeanour, combined with his expertise is a winning combination! Should the need arise in the future, I'll be back! Many thanks for your prompt guidance. :)

I’ve known Spencer both professionally, and personally, for about half a decade now and I can say with confidence that he is knowledgable, professional, and detail oriented. After our son was born we decided to get our wills and POAs sorted out and Spencer was our go to person. He answered all of our questions, covered all the bases, and addressed our concerns. I highly recommend Spencer and Charthouse Lawyers.
