1. I hired them for an upcoming mediation with another party, the retainer was signed on May 3, 2023, with mediation scheduled for May 31. 2. Despite my time constraints, they delayed working on my case for several days, unnecessarily, despite receiving the retainer funds, on May 3. 3. The initial retainer trust account was depleted by 90% in less than three weeks, even though the work done at that point shouldn't have consumed as much time or funds. 4. Their billing scheme included charging for 'receiving emails', a practice I found very unusual. I was billed $38.5/email for merely sending email(s). 5. Then, I received the first invoice requesting an additional, ~$5000. They made it clear that they would cease work if I didn't pay. 6. On May 29, they requested additional money, with the threat that if money was not paid, they wouldn't represent me in the scheduled mediation on May 31, 2023. The relationship ended and I commenced a lawsuit against them to recover the money they charged

Achkar Law Referral

From the first inquiry, to a consultation with Christopher, to being assigned Filip his associate, my experience with Achkar Law during a Termination of Employment matter was highly professional - first class all the way. Highly recommend

Fantastic service. I met with Christopher for a consultation and it was so helpful. He asked me questions that hit the nail on the head. At the end, he was honest and told me the risks involved in suing my employer and gave me a realistic estimation of what can happen. He was honest, a straight shooter, and not pushy at all. No pressure and nothing but real advice. Much, much recommended.

I was referred to Chris by a coworker who used him before. She had nothing but good things to say. When I met with him, she was so right. From the first meeting, Chris was very nice and explained everything. He sent me a draft of everything so I can review - he predicted exactly what was going to happen. My case finished quickly and he got me exactly what I wanted. His assistant Mark is also very nice and quick to reply to all my emails. I had a very good experience.

Very proactive and good advocates. Chris was honest and straight forward. No gimmicks. I had a human rights issue and my case finished in 3 weeks which is exactly what i wanted! Way better result than I expected. Chris even helped me fix my resume for my job search. Great service. Great team.

After meeting with 3 other firms and not feeling comfortable with them, I decided to meet with one more, Achkar Law. What a great team. I was the vice-president of a start up when I was let go and Christopher went deep in my contract to find all my entitlements. Not only he got 50k extra, but also got my benefits extended with my car and cellphone for 3 extra months. Best decision ever to retain this firm. Hopefully I will never need lawyers again, but if I do, Chris and his team will definitely be my automatic choice.

Such a good experience I had. Since my first phone call I felt really comfortable with Chris. He gave my my options and explained them and let me choose. He kept me updated. Even though I was emotional all the time, he knew how to put my mind at ease. So grateful!
