Katarina helped my family navigate the unfamiliar and potentially stressful territory of the estate process with clarity, efficiency and professionalism. It was very reassuring to know that we had someone with not only experience and expertise, but also a calm and supportive approach. Katarina managed to keep the process moving despite the challenges presented by the pandemic shutdowns. Our questions were answered promptly and all options were always clearly explained so that we could make informed decisions. I highly recommend Munro & Crawford, and, should the need arise, will not hesitate to

Thankfully I was recommended Andrew Beesley and Monro & Crawford as an Estate Law Firm to help deal with the execution of an Estate, even though I live out of Province. Being an Executor of an Estate is a multi-faceted job and is challenging enough, then dealing with COVID at the same time is even more stressful. Once his team was on the job, all my worries were taken away and everything was executed remotely and professionally. Thank you sometimes is not enough. Andrew and his firm have my highest regards and trust, therefore I would recommend him to anyone needing help in any Estate matter in

If you are wondering whether to go to a notary or law firm for your real estate transactions, choose the law professional. This was my first time using a law firm and I have used many notaries in the past - the difference in the quality of service was very apparent. Andrew Beesley was exceptionally competent, knowledgeable, professional, timely, and was an excellent communicator. He went above and beyond in advocating for me and simplifying a transaction that could have been quite complicated.

I required legal counsel to deal with an estate in which I was named as the executor. The Will was left in circumstances that clearly presented serious challenges to its being accepted as valid. I had no experience with law firms in this area and I contacted three different firms via e mail. One was very slow to respond, one was slow. Munro and Crawford were very quick to respond. It was clear they were wishing to offer their services and had a quick understanding of my circumstances. The other firms, when they responded showed little enthusiasm/caring and one presented an air of their doing me

I was a client of Andrew Beesley for a real estate matter that went for over 6 months. There are no words to describe the enormous amount of care, compassion, and commitment provided by Andrew. He is a devoted family man who really shows passion for his work. Andrew will work with the client through the most stressful & difficult cases with a positive attitude. Their team is very experienced, fair, and they can execute legal solutions while still playing by the rules of bc law. During situations where I threatened several times by the other party, Andrew calmly guide me through with proper planning

I always appreciate the efficiency, professionalism and comfortable dealings I receive either by phone, email or visiting Munro & Crawford’s office. Ron and his team especially Andrew and Despina are so friendly to help me with all my legal services for the past several years. Also, their office is in my neighbourhood which is a big bonus for me when juggling many of my errands through-out my day!

It was my first time deal with a home purchase and having to hire a lawyer to complete the process. Thank you ANDREW BEESLEY for your kind patience, expertise and profession in taking the time to explain and go over any questions or concerns I had thoroughly with a genuine smile at all times. Throughout my 10 years of working in retail, I can say he definitely went above and beyond in making me feel welcomed and well taken care of. I am extremely happy with the service I've received from him and would highly recommend anyone who is seeking legal help to ask for him!
Thank you so much Andrew!
