Larry is a friendly, honest and straight forward lawyer. We are indebted to him for the great work he has done.He is a very patient and professional lawyer. He listened to all of our stresses, pains and frustrations in regards to what my cousin went through, her panic, and life stories at back home. Whenever I send him email, he responds in a timely manner. He is a really well mannered and responsive lawyer.I liked the way he handled himself. He is a very friendly and nice gentleman. He is very affordable and charges a reasonable lawyer's cost. He is knowledgeable about the case and studies it in depth once he accepts it.Once again, we would like to say how appreciative we are of his great help in this matter and, once it is over and done with, we would obviously have no questions about recommending Mr. Butkowsky's services to others.

    Larry Butkowsky is a friendly, honest, and straight forward lawyer. I hired Larry in February 2013 regarding my Permanent Residency status. I was in a unique situation because of my chosen career making it hard for me to meet the physical residency requirement in Canada as I travel a lot outside of the country for work, working for a U.S. company. My pursuit to work for a Canadian company was proven fruitless because the same career field in Canada required a PR Card. Do to my continuous absence outside of Canada I was having a difficult time obtaining my PR card. After countless inquires with local MP’s and no results in my favor I decided to hire an immigration lawyer that was recommended to me by the successful results of another client of Larry’s. After meeting with Larry and discussing my situation, he collected all the available information regarding my career field and case and put together all the supporting paperwork to organize me and explain to Immigration Canada the situation I was in. Not long after I first met with Larry, my PR Card was in the mail and I was able to start my new career in Canada. I would highly recommend Larry Butkowsky as he has a strong understanding of the immigration laws in Canada and is passionate for what he does.

    I have known Larry Butkowsky professionally for over 20 years. During that time, I have referred countless immigration and refugee clients to him. The feedback I have received from these clients about Larry's services has been outstanding. Larry is knowledgeable, thorough and extremely capable. He handles his clients with patience and compassion. He also responds to his client's inquiries in a timely manner. I feel fortunate to be able to refer immigration and refugee clients to Larry. I highly recommend his services.

    Larry has been my lawyer since 1994. He has provided almost two decades of service to me and my family. If you are wondering which lawyer will do a wholehearted job to ensure your immigration case is a winning one—it’s Larry. He is accessible, friendly, kind, and caring—and just as important, he is affordable. It is not about the money for Larry. It’s hard to find someone who will put all their energy and focus on a case like he does, and who will care more about how you’re coping with the process than about how much money he will earn at the end of it.Larry is an integral part of my Canadian success story. With his help, I was able to experience formal education for the first time in Canada; ultimately, I went on to become a teacher. It would not have been possible without Larry’s guidance. He fought for me as a lone refugee; he not only fought for me to get my papers, but he helped me to tell my story with dignity. He did not want the process to push me to the limit and make me feel dehumanized. He made sure the immigration officers did not force me to relive my painful experiences. Without Larry, it would have been difficult for me to seek refugee status in a dignified way. He made sure that I was treated as a person, not just a “lone refugee.” This helped me to feel confident in myself, and gave me faith in the Canadian immigration system.When I came to Canada, I did not speak a word of the English language, but I knew Larry was on my team, and he would fight for me. He did win the case, and I received my refugee status in Canada. Those papers helped me start my life in Canada and allowed me to go to school. Larry also helped me apply for permanent resident status, without which I would not have been able to get student loans. He kept my files for a long time, which later helped me find some lost documents.He also helped me sponsor a family member, which was a very difficult process due to cultural barriers. The case was denied, and then denied again during mediation. I was anxious, but it was comforting to know that Larry was going to work tirelessly to ensure the case was heard from a culturally sensitive perspective. In the end, Larry did win the case—again.I am now in the process of sponsoring my mother and her dependents. I feel comfortable knowing that Larry is there to support us. He is a professional who knows the policies and the procedure. He gives you his perspective on it and allows you to make a decision. Your voice is heard throughout the process. He wants to make sure his clients don’t get burned out and overwhelmed by the process. He is helping me for the third time now, and I know Larry is not there for the money. He is there to help you, and he does it with care, kindness and in a very professional matter.Thank you, Larry, for all you have done for me and my family. In almost two decades of service, you have changed our lives for the better. You were my first teacher in what it means to be Canadian: respecting diverse cultures, loving freedom, providing opportunities for others, and caring enough to act on those values. Words cannot do justice to the gratitude I have for you.ThanksMalyun Afrah

    Larry Butkowsky has helped us through our refuge protection claim. My daughter and I came to Canada a few years ago looking for safety which we could not have back in our home country. Moving to a new country was an overwhelming experience; we also found ourselves homeless and in a very difficult financial situation. I did not know where to start from and how I was going to make it; my daughter was only 10 years old at the time. I'm very grateful to Larry for his hard work and support; for his determination to win; for the very professional and delicate way he handled our case. Larry collected all the necessary evidence and made it possible for my daughter to avoid the stress, trauma and anxiety of the court hearing. We are now settling down in our new home and I can't thank Larry enough for making our case a success.

    Thanks to Larry Butkowsky, I am united with my family. As a person, he is very honest, kind, fair, friendly and helpful. And as a Lawyer, he is just the best, knowledgeable, professional, committed and straightforward. Six years ago when no body around to be able even just to give an advise of my situation, my friend referred me to Larry. So I went to see him, straight away I could feel that I am in a capable hand. Not like other lawyers that I had seen, first they talk about fee then continued with some step that even I already knew of.Once, in an hearing, he confidently corrected a law with the judge. With him, there is no secret or short cut, all being done accordingly and within my knowledge.As up to know, me, who already a Canadian Citizen, with my family, still have a good contact with him. And I certainly recommend him to everyone.Thank you Larry.

    Larry Butkowsky is an honest, straight forward lawyer.I know those are qualities that usually are not associated with lawyers, but I am being honest.Larry shows respect and passion for his profession. He does not make promises. He tells you the law, what can be done, your options, his opinion, lets you decide and then if you hire him, he does his job. Simple.I have relied on Mr Butkowsky for work Visa applications for my French Translators on several occasions and not only does he always get back to me as soon as possible, but he answers my questions in laymen’s terms, and his processes have always been accurate. I can be stressed over an application and once I speak to Larry, I relax.I have also referred him to friends in a couple of cases and he has demonstrated his professionalism to all of them. His due diligence, honesty and compassion resulted in the landed status for my friend Carla, for her and her younger daughter that was born in Portugal and as such she was able to make a permanent home in Canada, along with her older twins that had been born in Canada.
