Testimonials

Peter Scholes, October 2016

“Alex Deal and Laura St-Gallay responded immediately to my request for assistance even though the amounts at stake were relatively small. The advice I received was helpful and timely, and a satisfactory settlement was reached quickly in large part due to the high quality of the advice given. Fees have in all cases been very reasonable and I have very much appreciated the responsiveness of the team when I have needed advice at short notice” I would not hesitate to recommend the Firm for any matters relating to litigation/dispute resolution or employee/partnership law matters (where Alex has previously provided valuable advice).”

Loretta Martinelli, October 2016

“It was very important for us to feel confident and be cost-efficient with our legal case. The firm was very understanding and patient with our requests and regular requirements for explanations and changes.”

Property Litigation

Loretta Martinelli, October 2016

“The matter was dealt with in a very kind and calm manner while keeping us informed of the cost implications throughout. The numerous changes were well understood [by Laura St-Gallay] and have been taken on board each time we changed our mind on our strategy.”
