I have worked with Andrew Zyp when I purchased my house, mortgage refinancing and creating my will and power of attorney. He explains everything clearly so you can understand and is super easy to work with. Highly recommend and will continue to use for future needs.

Great service.
Use them for business and personal. Andrew Zyp has been very helpful when it came to dealing with some tricky situations, I felt confident that he took the time to review my requests and always replied to me quickly with any questions I had.

I called Aug 30th to discuss my bill, still haven't received a call back.
Called again middle of Sept. still no call back.
Called again beginning of Oct. No call back.
Now I get a condescending and arrogant email from Andrew Zyp saying the matter is closed and to pick up my file and pay my bill. Well Andrew, your incompetent employee by the name of Krista started all this mess. I wonder if she'll try to correct it? Will I get a call back now?

My family and I have had the pleasure of working with Stewart Esten for several years. Christopher Shultz has completed multiple real estate deals in a very timely, professional, and trustworthy manner. Many thanks to Christopher and the team at Stewart Esten.

We recently went through a very difficult close on the purchase of our home. We felt secure, well-informed, and cared for throughout the entire process with Christopher Shultz and Christopher Salazar of Stewart Esten. We would absolutely recommend this firm. They do great work, and we were very satisfied with the outcome. Thanks again!

I have dealt with Miranda Cudmore on several real estate transactions and every time she and her team have done an amazing job of having everything complete on time and accurate. She does a great job of quick response time, explaining everything, and taking the time with her clients so they know they are valued. I have recommended her to some of my clients who have had the same experience and I would highly recommend her again. Thanks for always being there to help make this part of the typically stressful, biggest purchase and sale of our lives run smoothly Miranda!

We used Christopher for the sale of our cottage and the updating of our wills. We would recommend him to everyone. Everything was completed in a timely fashion and clearly explained to us in language we could easily understand. Christopher was very accommodating to set appointments that would work for us. We have never received that kind of friendly and understanding of customer service from any legal firms in the past.
Thank you

Can’t recommend Stewart Esten enough. We’ve had the pleasure of working with Christopher Shultz on our mortgage and refinance situations. He excels at explaining everything you’re signing, making what can be an edgy time much easier. Support staff are quick to respond and so friendly. We have and will continue to recommend Stewart Esten to friends and family.

As the owner of a professional services organization, I have personally worked with Mr. Andrew Zyp on many of our corporate matters and personal real estate transactions. I highly recommend Andrew’s services to anyone that needs sounds legal advice. In business and personal matters, we value relationships based on trust. From my own personal experience, I can say that Andrew’s approach aligns perfectly with our values and that he has always been there for us.
