    Mrs. Kirwin handled a custody case for me. She was very knowledgable, experienced and confident. I do not like conflict but Lynn was able to be assertive (without being unprofessional) on my behalf. Lynn also works very efficiently. Although she has a high case load she worked on my case in a very timely manner and handed matters that she could to her clerk so she reduced overall costs that I incurred as part of these proceedings. Lynn came personally recommended by a former colleague and friend of hers and I am so grateful that I listened to wise counsel.

    First off, I was very impressed with Galbraith's online persona/presence. Speaking over the phone, again I was impressed with the warmth and clarity of communications. While my separation agreement is yet to be actually started, the quality of my early exchanges with Galbraith have been such that I feel confident in their professionalism and flexibility, and have every expectation of a satisfactory outcome.

    Top notch professionalism with just the right amount of compassion. A powerhouse legal firm that immediately made me feel like my divorce litigation was in the best hands. Galbraith was a huge part of my life for four years. Everyone from Caroline on the front desk, to my incredible lawyer Alison Pengelley supported me through the toughest time in my life. I felt I was treated with respect and understanding. Alison took the time to make sure I understood my options every step of the way. When opposing council stooped to underhanded tactics, my lawyer responded with dignity, patience and straight law. I will always be grateful for this amazing Firm.

    Alison Pengelley is uppermost in professionalism, understanding, tireless work and effort, and I feel so very blessed to have had and continue to have Alison on my side as my family lawyer. Alison negotiated an excellent settlement for me, and made an invaluable contribution to my new life. I will never forget Alison’s strong advocacy and work ethic on my behalf, as well as the fact that she cares. Alison empowered me during a very difficult time in my life, and I would highly recommend her to others.

    Just a quick note to thank James for what he has done to make sure I was looking into my matter in a fair and honest way. He guided me on the best approach to take in resolving my family’s breakdown and resolution. As a father I couldn’t believe myself when the judge agreed that I was putting my kid’s first in detriment to my own feelings. From the online blogs and articles that I have researched over the last 4 years most cases involving family law do not favor fathers. I was amazed and thankful to see the judge appreciated how our genuine approach was received as being more concerned for my kid’s well being than that of the other parties involved. It’s very easy to get caught up in the aspect of winning at all costs. James‘s approach was total opposite of that. His approach of making sure I was fair to all involved and to protect my kid’s interests first. It was greatly appreciated. I would also like to thank Carol for all her hard work and dedication

    It would be hard for me to exaggerate the tremendous support and understanding that Brian and his staff provided me during what was easily the most painful period of my life. I have had the most unfortunate experience of witnessing family law at its worst, but also at its most excellent. Brain and his team are truly great!It is clear to me that Brian has built a business based on solid principals that are reflected throughout the team. The level of concern for all parties is honest and real. Their ability to work through the problems and provide grounded advice – even when it wasn’t what I wanted to hear – was extremely valuable.While I am thankful to leave the pain of that chapter of my life behind. It is true that I will miss Brian and his team who were a great comfort to me through those rough seas.Massive thanks to Brian, Carole, Paul, Janine, Anne-Marie and the rest of the team!

She was so well prepared and she listened to everything I had to say and understood what I was saying and didn't brush it off like it wasn't important! She fought for me from 10:00 till 5:00 p.m. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer she was so understanding about everything. She made things happen that I never thought could! She handled a difficult situation the best way anyone could. I am so thankful for her! She took a lot of the stress out of it! I was four hours away and never felt like I didn't know what was going on or forgot about!I had another lawyer before her and they didn't work as hard for me as she did for me!

You need to have your feet on the ground when you enter into this foreign territory before you make too many decisions.

    My separation and subsequent divorce was not a long, drawn-out process. In fact, it was incredibly quick with the results that I wanted. Brian made me feel at ease, had me understand the steps it took to agree to terms of a separation, and he was by my side through it all. The benefit of a quick divorce was that costs are minimized and the hurt caused by both sides is mitigated.

    My custody battle was VERY rough. My ex was on legal aide and social assistance, so, she was able to drag it a long time. Add to that the fact that the justice was incredibly gender biased and it becomes a rough time. Joe managed to block everything my ex tried and in the end we won it. Joe did an amazing job in a very bad situation and didn't break the bank. I would recommend him to anyone needing a lawyer.
