Lawyers

Well done.

Our family has been dealing with David for over 15 years. Great lawyer!

We've been working with Karen on numerous closings since 2016, our experiences with Hung & Hwang LLP have always been impeccable. Karen is very responsive and knowledgeable, she always takes her time to call us when the case has some updates and always explained to us whenever we had questions or doubts, I'm super grateful to her. Our closings with Karen are always on time, and the packages always arrived timely. Looking forward to work with Karen again in the future, and I will definitely recommend Karen if you are looking to retain an excellent real estate lawyer!

Great, reputable law firm

It seems like there aren't many reviews about the law firm and the testimonials on the site are VERY biased. I thought I'd write a review on my experience. Raphael Barristers is an average law firm based out of Thornhill. The firm seems to list four lawyers on their site and other than Jeffrey Raphael and Stan Raphael the other barristers don't seem to have any reviews. They are qualified on paper but very unprofessional, all positive reviews are on Jeffrey Raphael and no other lawyer in this firm. In my experience I retained Bert Raphael, and I assumed he would be the one working on my case but passed it down to a junior associate - This was extremely poor on their part - A lot of lawyers thrive on stating when retaining them they will not pass the case down to a junior, they will work on the case themselves. In addition to the unprofessionalism, they do not keep you up to date with what is going on with your case. Getting calls back were VERY tough and the lawyers do not answer your calls. I would not recommend the firm unless you are retained by the two lawyers stated above. My experience seemed very amateur and ended up in an argument because of very poorly explained contracts at the beginning. - Although they work on a settlement no fee basis - I'm still a client, yelling at a client is extremely unprofessional. The contracts are poorly written and are not specific at all, the lawyer I worked with was very sketchy and asked me to sign authorization papers without dating them in order for him to do things quicker, meanwhile I never recieved ONE call from him in 2 years. A lawyer that will work with you in order to get you a benefit should be trusted, in this case it was very hard. It took me over two years to settle a small case and there were too many errors along the way for this to be a smooth experience. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

Friendly staff

Joseph Rizzotto is both compassionate and a wealth of knowledge! Karen Steward

Professional staff. Clean, newly renovated facility. Their work is great, also accurate. I was involved in an unfortunate accident, which resulted in my extensive injuries. They’ve been very understanding and insightful. If i may make a suggestion, which contributes heavily to the 4 stars vs 5: - updates to the clients is a must, especially when it’s urgent matters. I would advise to keep the clients updated at least once every week or every 2 weeks as to the progress of the claims I.e. I received a letter a week after my doctors appointment for assessment. I will further update my review as the case unravels.

Retain this lawyer for new condo closing, she is very nice from beginning to the end!

I would never recommend their services to anyone! The person working in the office din't know their own contact number and email address. It took them almost one week to send me all the information, which they promised me to send asap. Won't refund my money for services they didn't provide. I waited for two hour, even after I had made an appointment. Extremely rude! They still own me the money!

Very thorough lawyer, though perhaps a bit humourless (though it is a real estate office). Was impressed that he took the time to explain and solve issues we had on closing. Highly recommended
