Often, people require legal representation to identify and divide the family assets, especially if the divorce or separation is contested and or complex. An appeal can be pursued if a client is unhappy with a decision made by a judge and believes that the judge made an error in the interpretation. If your relationship ends, we will vigorously represent your interests, and we can assist you in creating an effective separation agreement.
This may be appropriate for some situations, your children cannot be part of a win-lose scenario. When parents fight to win, the children are often the ones who lose the most. Although some disputes can only be resolved in court, for the most part our clients are much better served through alternative dispute resolution (ADR).

Proper valuation of the family assets is an important part of every divorce or separation. The results can have a significant impact on each spouse's financial position after legal proceedings have ended. Hiring a lawyer with experience in the complexities of property division, valuation and all related family law matters is critical.
At the Quay Law Centre, our lawyers have extensive experience working with clients who own assets of significant value, including various business assets.

Worst law practice I've dealt with. I am severely dyslexic and told Russell S. Tretiak. He yesterday verbally assaulted me called me stupid & dumb. He is a burn out old man who smells like booze! Their dumpy so called office smells of moth balls! I would never recommend such un classy business practice to anyone.

When I joined them as a client they did not inform me or told me honestly that they were having problems and there will be a lot of people leaving the law firm ,they would hand over my case to one lawyer he would resign ,then they would hand it over to another person he would also leave. The third time I was dealing with Miss Shivleen Sandhu who was professional and worked on my file, Then she also left the law firm due to some personal reasons and I was without a council... I was going through a very tough time emotionally, financially and to add it all I was with the most unprofessional law firm

Bad experience. I felt the (lady) lawyer did not work for me at all. After suffering years of physical abuse I had to depend on legal aid.
She was not helpful and in the end her actions helped my abuser. Sadly, he committed suicide 6 months later but my feelings were she helped him due to her complete and utter lack of caring about my situation. She told me I wasn't entitled to a bit of his big pension. Turned out that was not true.
I have MS and that little bit would have made the world of difference.
It felt like I was just a nuisance. A number.

I called in this law office this morning (Nov 20, 2018) at around 9:40 am to talk to a family lawyer in filing divorce case. The receptionist at the front desk connected me to a female lawyer, who, instead of helping me, rebuked and insulted me. She mentioned that I was calling-in to get free information and she is not a source of free-information data. And, she didn't gave me even a single tip, even though I mentioned that I DO NOT WANT FREE SERVICE. I explained her I need a lawyer to guide me but I was left heart-broken, insulted and extremely humiliated. Would never recommend this place to anybody

I am absolutely disgusted with this Law Firms lack of professionalism. I briefly dealt with a young girl (Kimberly), that was working. She was very short with me and somewhat rude. I was instantly turned off by my visit and would not recommend. Especially due to the fact that after that encounter, I easily found this online, one of the lawyers is obviously unethical according to his own employee posting all over Facebook. Who knows what his employees discuss and post on the internet about his clients!!!

I approached this firm after a very bad experience with another firm. I cannot speak highly enough of the competence, efficiency and trust in Lori Gerbig, whom was my appointed solicitor. She is client focussed and driven to resolve matters - unlike my prior counsel who got the boot when it became quite evident his motivations. Not only did Lori take on my case mid-term but she also resolved part 1 of my case in a matter of weeks and part 2 has just been resolved with the best outcome I didn't even imagine. Many thanks Lori. Highly recommend her services.

I do not recommend hiring Lorraine Gerbig, a lawyer working at the Quay Law Centre in New Westminster. I found her services to be untrustworthy and grossly incompetent. I consequently fired her and made a formal complaint to the BC Law Society regarding her conduct. It was a very costly mistake to engage her services, and I strong recommend you do not hire her.
