I would strongly avoid this law firm, for all the reasons the few brave posters have stated.

Having now had to deal with two estate attorneys, I can easily say - beware of this one. The difference between the two was like day and night; the first, on Vancouver Island (Ian Izard), was exemplary. Regular communications, monthly accounting's and frequent telephone calls to advise and listen. It was a rather complicated estate and took over four years to settle. But it was handled with transparency and as efficiently as Probate Court allowed.

This attorney however was the exact opposite. Although it was s very straightforward will with little complexity, there was no communication except

I've never had to use a Lawyer except for my will, mom's estate, and normal operations for my business. And then I try to sell my house. Signed contract in hand and the buyer decides to renege. I was referred to John and he was insightful, friendly, and very helpful. We did more than just talk about right and wrong, we talked about time and outcome.We agreed on a good course of action that I'm happy with. I recommend you call John first for your legal needs.

I've been involved in a litigation matter against these guys for about a year now. They are a complete joke. They lost against us and were berated by the judge in the process.

If you want your litigation completely fumbled, go with these guys.
