Agb Lawyers
AGBL is a boutique law firm focused on family law, estate planning, and estate administration. It is our mission to deliver reliable solutions through all life's transitions. We strive to ensure our clients get the personal attention they want and deserve. Located in the professional office building at 2249 Carling Avenue, we have plenty of free parking and elevator access.

The closest major intersection is: Carling and Woodroffe. If there's one thing we know, it's that every person's legal needs are different-one size does not fit all. For example, although you may own a business, you are much more than that. Maybe you're a spouse, a parent, a homeowner or a landlord.
Services
Founded in 1996, AGB Lawyers is an Ottawa-based firm that assist clients in the areas of Family Law, Mediation, Estate Planning and Estate Administration. In addition to the high-quality services you expect, we also offer something more: personal attention. We believe that service is about more than simply providing you with sound, experienced legal advice.
To deliver reliable solutions and advocacy while supporting stable restructuring for all family members throughout life's transitions. At AGB Lawyers, we treat our clients as more than just an isolated business or service transaction. At every opportunity, we strive to delve beyond the specific legal issue to understand the "why"-the bigger picture-that motivates a client's request for a particular service.
Our family law services include the preparation of cohabitation agreements, marriage contracts (pre-marital agreements) and separation agreements. We can also assist with matters related to custody and access resolution, child and spousal support, divorce, property division, and negotiated or mediated settlements.
Family law is the area of law responsible for any legal matters involving family or matrimonial issues, such as Marriage Contracts, Separation Agreements (often referred to as prenuptial contracts or "prenups"), child custody, child support, adoption, divorce and/or separation.

Our Ottawa family lawyers are able to advise you and advocate for your needs and interests while providing you with reliable information and strategies designed to help you during the transitionary period and restructuring which occurs during a separation and/or divorce.At AGB Lawyers, we are able to assist you while you navigate either the Court process or the mediation and/or negotiation process.
In the movies, there can be any number of reasons for separation and, eventually, divorce. In reality-in Canada, at least-there is only one recognized ground for divorce: breakdown of marriage. Additionally, one of the partners must have resided in Ontario for at least one year prior to the application for divorce by a family lawyer.

You are one in a million, best among many, most trusted, I almost give up on trading then I met her through a friend, Olivia Carlos the most trusted trading expert who helped the life of my family and I, I also recommended him to my friends and family member who also have become financially successful thanks to you, I have lost a lot but you gave… me hope and faith that forex and binary trade could help, and you proved it when I invested just $500 and earned $6000 in just a week, since then it has been profit after profit all week, I am arguing the entire public to invest and be financially

I have had the pleasure of dealing with both Mr. Buttigieg, Ms. Conte, and the rest of the staff for the past few months on a rather complicated family law/custody issue. I've been blown away by the service and level of preparation Ms. Conte has brought to every meeting. She consistently remembers and understands the minutiae of my specific case and has helped me immensely. Highly recommend.

Gaeten took the time to carefully walk us through and explain key points in our documents. Overall, he has such a positive character and is fun to talk with.
It was especially appreciated that even during COVID, they took every precaution to make us feel safe and informed of any updates or unexpected delays.

I had an excellent experience with this law firm in the areas of family law, estate planning, and real estate. Their team is knowledgable, professional, and nimble. They consult with the client and really listen to her/him. They advise, but don't take over, focussing on their client's wishes and needs. They accommodate pandemic restrictions by providing video and teleconferencing options. Their prices are average, not the highest in town, although their services are of highest quality. I highly recommend this law firm!

Can't speak to the lawyers work but the elderly white haired estate clerk "Bev" was horrendous to deal with. Extremely short tempered and unprofessional to work with. She was clueless throughout the duration of our conversation, should have retired over 30 years ago as it seems her dementia is starting to set in. Stay far away from her as possible. Reflects poorly on the company as a whole.

I recommend the AGB lawyers for family law. I booked a 30 minutes free consultation with Gaetan Buttigieg that lasted more than 30 minutes, but the lawyer was a very respectful person and didn’t cut me off once the time for free consultation was up. He was very honest, and helpful in providing me his advice and guidance. He responded to my questions respectfully and talked about the available options openly. He even referred me to another firm should I go with one of the options he explained. I found him a very respectful, polite, understanding, honest and open minded. I recommend him and the

AGB Lawyers, was a great, calming, informative and amazing firm. Even just a 30 minute consultation and they made us feel like part of the family. Eased our minds, knowing what our rights were and didn't confuse us with legal jargon.

I was dealing with family law and AGB did a fantastic job for me. They listen to every thing you say and then explain all angles of what is needed to be done. They work as a whole team and it’s a great team they have. I highly recommend them

This year (2020) I had my own and my brother's Last Will & Testament and Powers of Attorney documents for Personal Care and for Property drawn up by AGB Lawyers. Gaetan Buttigieg took the time to explain each clause personally, and provided background information and advice on legal technicalities. This was important since I wanted to prepare proper documents only once, and Gaetan specializes in family law and wills, so he has the experience dealing with many similar cases.
As I am a guardian for my brother who is mentally disabled, it was important that my brother could understand each document

They will promise to do lots of work for you and then spend your entire first retainer on setting up your account. The way they do their billing is strongly in their favour. They involve multiply lawyers for simple tasks in increase their profits. I would't recommend this firm to anyone some of the work I paid for I am not even able to see so I have no idea if the work was done or not.
Then after you get your first bill and complain about the billing they will tell you that that reviewed the file and that if you would like to leave they can close down your file free of charge. I showed the file

We have just completed our estate planning with AGB Lawyers and both Gaetan and Mafanway were excellent in educating us on the various aspects and requirements. We then had our wills and powers of attorney drafted and completed. Overall, it was a very positive and reassuring experience.

AGB lawyers handled our first home purchase and helped go through everything with us to make sure we understood what all of the paperwork was. Everything was on time, and everything sent to us when they said it would be there. It made the process less stressful for us and we would definitely use them again!

My father's POA Documents and Will were processed by AGB Lawyers. When it took time for me to take control of my father's affairs due to Dementia, AGB helped me easily transition into the position. They explained how best to proceed and ensure all bases were covered to protect both my and my father's best interests.
Our interactions have been handled both professionally and with great courtesy. I would highly recommend this legal firm.
