Devry Smith Frank LLP

I rescind the previous message. I simply have a concern with the Client's wishes not being completed.

It was an extremely helpful experience dealing with Zakiya Bhayat. She handled my situation very well, guided the entire process and ensured that my rights are kept safe and secured.

My entire case happened during pandemic and everything was just dealt over phone calls and emails such a smooth process, yes it did took time however that did not deter her from giving me timely updates.

Jessica would always be in touch with me patiently give me response and even after months she called me and ensures I got all my documents. What a great experience and overall service

Thanks a lot Zakiya and Jessica you both are awesome!

I am very satisfied with the very timely and compassionate help and advise I always receive from lawyer Ms. Zakiya Bhayat and her team. Over the last 5 months that I have had the chance to receive their legal services, I can confidently say that their service exceeds my expectations. Ms. Bhayat is is very knowledgeable and professional at her work.
I strongly recommend DSF LLP and lawyer ZB specifically.

I picked this firm for its reputation but unfortunately my case was not taken seriously, after more than one year waiting for a case conference it postponeded without result.

I just wanted to say a BIG THANK-YOU to Ms. Katelyn Bell for her kindness, professionalism and her invaluable advice!

I've been frustrated with how the School treated my child. Although I did quite some research on my own I still had no clue where my appeal hearing would end up, so I was eager to seek advice from an expert in the educational law area.

Katelyn's kindly agreed offering me a consultation and her advice indeed pointed me to the right direction and also drew a whole picture of how this whole process works, so it is invaluable!

The information and advice she provided not only saved me money and time, it in fact drew a very clear picture of the whole issue, and provided the best possible strategy for me to handle this situation!

For this, I sincerely appreciate your expertise, time and kindness!

Again, MILLIONS OF THANKS!

I can't find a better word to express my sincere appreciation.

My husband and I worked with Timothy Gindi on a mediation/litigation situation. He took the time to learn the facts of the case and of our situation and was so thorough when dealing with us. Timothy is very knowledgeable in litigation and mediation and worked hard to get a favorable out come for us. We would use his services again in a second if we need to and we and highly recomend him for any type of litigation/mediation issues. He was awesome.

I feel very grateful to have worked with Timothy Gindi on an employment related legal matter and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great lawyer to help them. He was extremely thorough, responsive, and always took the time to answer all of my questions. His advice was always well thought out, practical and professional. Thank you Timothy!

My experience working with Shawna at DSF was unimaginably wonderful. Before retaining Shawna, I met with few lawyers to help me with what I knew is going to be a challenging and an extremely emotional ride. When I met with Shawna though, there was an instant trust that with no hesitation I knew at our first meeting I want to work with her and here we go, 4 years later, we got our successful outcome.

During the four years of working with Shawna on a hotly contested litigation matter, Shawna was able to keep track of so many moving parts, so many developments and twist and turns. Throughout the process, her exceptional attention to detail, her professionalism, her expertise and her thorough research provided us with a positive outcome.

Her calm yet firm style were truly amazing. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her guidance throughout. She was reassuring in the face of set backs and challenges, yet always offered realistic advice and kept my case moving forward. Going to court is never a pleasant experience, but Shawna was there with me at every step – As much as she was my lawyer, she was my sounding board. Shawna is one of a kind. Thank you so much Shawna!

This was my first time needing a lawyer and I did not know what to expect however, from the moment I spoke to Kerri-Ann to the moment she put me in touch with Katelyn Bell, I knew I was in good hands.

Katelyn is extremely intelligent and pays great attention to detail. She was able to help me get through an extremely challenging time and ensure that against all odds, I come out on top. I can say with confidence without Katelyn's support and guidance, I would not have been able to navigate this situation and get the results Katelyn got me. Even when things were not in my favour, Katelyn was able to use her knowledge and ability to think long term to get me out of a tough spot.

Of course when one requires an attorney it is because they are going through a distressing situation, which brings on a great deal of anxiety. This rang true for me and Katelyn was extremely understanding and kind. She was able to advise me on how to make decisions rationally rather than act emotionally, and she always had my best interest at heart.

I cannot say enough good things about Katelyn and would recommend her to whoever needs an expert in Education Law.

I was referred from the other firm they partner with. My first contact with them was asking for $275. They didn't even know the details of the case and where the case was out of. I was afraid to pay the fee without determining if they attend courts in other regions. I have followed up with them twice because I need a lawyer for my family law case. I haven't heard back from them. I assume it's because I didn't rush to pay $275.

Michelle Cook was incredibly helpful with our matter. She was timely and did a great job of explaining issues and options throughout. Highly recommend.

Tim Gindi is very patient, he takes the time to listen and truly puts his clients first. He always goes above and beyond even if it is a small matter. He is very professional, knowledgeable, creative, efficient and always a pleasure to deal with. I will always use his services when it comes to any sort of injury, employment or commercial issues. I really can't say enough good things about him.

I was recommended to retain services of Kelli Preston as real estate lawyer to close my two deals included refinance. It is already more than one month Kelly Preston and her secretary misused trust funds in the amount of over $30,000 and no hope to get response neither from lawyer Kelli Preston or her secretary Holly Simpson. No reporting package on transaction for more than month.stay away from legal services of Kelli Preston and this law firm

I HIGHLY recommend Timothy for any of his services. Timothy worked with my clients for a commercial lease and he truly exceeded my expectations. He was extremely responsive and incredibly detailed in his work. However, the best part about him is that he is a genuinely kind person who truly cares and looks out for his client's best interests. I would DEFINITELY work with him again. Thanks Timothy!

Great service! I did my purchase and refinance through them and Corrine was great! Our transaction had a lot of different elements to it that made it more complex (title transfer, etc) so we were ready for anything, but she was very efficient. She always answered our concerns promptly and we didn’t have any issues. Signing was easy and quick, we got our refinance funds in time and closed in time. Thank you for all your help!

Tim Gindi is always a pleasure to deal with. He truely cares about his clients and takes the time to hear you out. Tim can always come up with a creative solution to any problem. Can't say enough good things about him!

Tim Gindi is very knowledgeable and gave me excellent advice. He always takes the time to answer questions and most importantly, he explained everything so I always understood what was going on and what the next steps were. Tim comes highly recommended.

I've been working with Mr. Timothy Gindi for many years and he always delivers. Very knowledgeable and responsive. I will always go to him for quick and effective resolutions on any employment or commercial issues. Thank you Timothy.

Kenna Bromley assisted me with my separation, she was so efficient and reassuring, everything was organized and wrapped up quickly, I would highly recommend Kenna to anyone looking for a great family lawyer!

Cindy Leung, a lawyer at DSF law firm is very professional and reliable. She always explain matters in details and be nice and patient to her clients. She can speak both English and Chinese. She helped many Chinese Canadians in motor vehicle accidents claim. My own experience was very good and really recommend her!

I can’t say enough good things about Kenna. She takes the time to listen, is to the point and very professional. I felt supported and heard each step of the way. I would definitely recommend Kenna Bromley.

Marty Rabinovitch helped me navigate through various questions and concerns I had through Employment Law. He was knowledgeable, professional and understanding of my circumstances. I plan to reach out to Marty for all E. L related matters moving forward.

Kenna was wonderful with my custody case. She listened and understood exactly how I was feeling in a very difficult situation. She encouraged me to "not give up". I was very confident in her abilities. I am very happy to share that we won my case!

Diana Solomon, John Schuman and Katelyn Bell worked on a matter for me and did an amazing job. They were all hard working, honest, ethical and sincere and did a fantastic job. It is refreshing to see lawyers who are competent and have so much integrity. Their team was truly a breath of fresh air and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of services in their field.

Amanda supported my aunt in an estate matter. As my aunt has limited mobility, Amanda visited and conducted the meeting with my aunt in a friendly and patient manner. A follow up meeting was held to review the final document and was friendly and courteous. My aunt was very happy with the support she received. We would recommend Amanda for legal advice and support.

Elisabeth Colson was clear with her communications, concise with her words and highly experienced with her work. Right off the call, she pointed us in the right direction on what we were looking for which we've been running around for awhile for an answer. She is very detailed in her conversation, utmost professionalism and referred to appropriate experienced contacts to save us time! Very glad to have the opportunity to work together!

My experience with Devry Smith Frank LLP and working with George Messih was fantastic. This was my first time working with George and he made the entire process very easy. He provided reliable reassurance and guidance from start to finish. The communication and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. He was able to accommodate all of my needs. I'd definitely recommend George Messih & Devry Smith Frank LLP for any of your real estate legal needs.

In the years that I have known Diana Solomon, she has always been knowledgeable, professional and approachable. Seeking legal advice can often be a stressful experience, yet Diana quickly put me at my ease when we met and I always felt that I had her full attention. I was always impressed by her quick grasp of complex issues and in her remarkable ability to demystify them; I always left our appointments confident that I had the full and clear picture. Diana takes time to get to know her clients; she understands the importance of building a relationship with her clients. I will continue to enlist Diana whenever I have need of her services; she is someone I trust. It is clear to me that she takes pride in her work and makes it her mission to do her best for her clients.

During a difficult time, I had the great pleasure of having Diana Solomon represent me in my separation.
She guided me through the process, and along with Leisa Heath, the details of my separation were completed with strict guidelines to include my young child. She was very quick to respond with action regardless of the time of day.

Diana and Leisa are both very kind, knowledgeable, and professional.

I would recommend Diana Solomon to anyone who is going through a separation or divorce as you will not be treated as just a "client", and she will do everything she can for you.

Thank you again for all your help ladies.

I reached out to Diana Solomon to assist me in a family law matter in 2019. I needed to ensure the matter was dealt with on time, and be done with care. Diana was professional and responsive. She delivered on the matter on time, and took the time to answer all of my questions. I would highly recommend Diana to anyone needing legal counsel in family law matters.

My job was eliminated as the result of a reorganization. I was able to speak with Marty Rabinovitch very quickly to explain my circumstances and to have him review the termination agreement and explain to me how the law is applied. He was very empathetic and thoughtful in my interactions with him. He helped me through a very difficult time and I highly recommend him.

I have been very fortunate to have had the guidance, support and legal expertise of Diana Solomon help me through a very difficult divorce. Without her, my young son and I would not have been able to safely leave an unhealthy situation. Diana always made sure that our safety was her main priority. She worked diligently for countless hours to help me reach a fair agreement that kept our best interests at the forefront. I can't thank her enough for her compassionate and reliable professionalism that she has demonstrated to help me through this process.

Sold our condo and dealt with George Messih. He was very professional explaining process and guided us every step of the way. He was very thorough. Highly recommend this firm and especially George. Stay safe Toronto!

If you’re looking for an “A Team” in family law, Devry, Smith, Frank is it! A Huge thank you to Tim Deeth, Diana Solomon and Mason Morningstar. Our family was torn apart and we needed help to save our little girl. We made a desperate call to Devry, Smith, Frank and from the minute Mason Morningstar took our call he was able to guide us and provide outstanding legal advice. Mason is extremely knowledgeable and always had an answer for our questions. Our case was very complicated, but this team didn’t give up. They were compassionate and aggressive, while maintaining a high level of professionalism. Mason’s case submissions and written briefs were exceptional and clearly represented our story. Diana Solomon’s years of experience paid off in the court room as she delivered precise oral arguments and performed strategic cross examinations. Tim Deeth and his team quickly and successfully advanced our case through the courts. Today we are reunited with our very happy little girl and are forever grateful to Devry! We highly recommend this team. A special thank you to Mason Morningstar!

For the second time in the past year, my family and I have had the pleasure of working with George Messih, first with the purchase of our condo and recently with the sale of my parent's home. George is professional, honest and genuine. Knowing we were in his kind and capable hands gave us great piece of mind and we look forward to working with him again in the near future.

Maya Krishnaratne was one of the best lawyers we have ever worked with in a field that we were entirely unfamiliar with. Through the duration of our vehicle accident litigation case her communication and strategic approach was both consistent and second to none. Keep up the great work and thanks for acting on our behalf so impartially!

While going through a divorce I employed the services of Devry Smith Frank LLP. My experience with this firm was exceptional. Top notch Lawyers and staff, going above and beyond, attentive to detail, responsive, and just plain helpful. Highly recommended if you are going through tough family issues!

I met Andreina Minicozzi almost 3 years ago, she was more than amazing. Unfortunately when she moved to Devry Smith Frank LLP due to my circumstances I couldn’t go with her.
I highly Recommend Andreina she is Knowledgeable, Professional and Honest but most of all a compassionate lawyer. She genuinely cares about her clients. In my book she is the Best.
To make story short, after my second lawyer left me just 5 weeks before Trial, Andreina came to my rescue and finish the job.
She gave me peace of mind. I trust Her completely. I appreciated her calming presence, and respectful attitude in the courtroom, and outside of it. She has help me to stay focused and there are not enough words to say how grateful I am.

Had a wonderful experience with Mr. Syed Nizami of DSF LLP Toronto. And had a very friendly and fruitful discussion. I found him very knowledgeable in explaining different types of immigration options. And got all the answer to my questions. I would strongly recommended him.

I am very impressed with the service provided by DSF. I was represented by Andreina on what the judge described as a ‘complicated ‘ custody case.
Andreina was very thorough in getting all that was required to make a great case. In addition, she takes the time to listen intently and always return calls in a timely manner. In the end, I am pleased with the outcome and would recommend DSF to anyone who is looking for an excellent family representation.

I highly recommend Andreina Minicozzi, Family Lawyer and Arash Keyvani, Family Lawyer both from DeVry Smith Frank LLP for any family legal matters you may have.
Over the past year I have had to rely on Andreina and Arash for their timely and effective legal advice and representation. I feel no time or money was wasted and they had my best interests in mind.

I am very confident Andrenia and Arash will continue to represent me and get me the best results in every area of my case.

If you are looking for a lawyer to assist with getting a registered trademark in Canada, I’d like to highly recommend Lloyd W. Ament, C. S.at Devry Smith Frank LLP in Toronto. Lloyd is a Registered Trademark Agent who I worked with recently in order to trademark and register a new brand asset. I have never had to trademark anything before and Lloyd was extremely responsive and helpful. Lloyd gave us a reasonable fee range and stuck to it. Throughout the entire process, he was readily available and took the time to explain important concepts and considerations so that we were more confident in our application. Thank you very much, Lloyd!

All the work of the past couple years paid off!
Thanks to Lloyd and his staff for all you did, the care and guidance and last minute advising, to make this possible. We always felt in good hands.

Highly recommended! I feel extremely grateful and lucky to have contacted Devry Smith Frank. I am very pleased with the way Syed Nizami handled my brother’s immigration case. I noticed that he was courteous, detailed and very knowledgeable about the process. He understood the complicated nature of the application, and communicated with me in a way that was simple and easy for me to understand. Even though it was a very difficult case, Syed was supportive and patient throughout the process, and always responded to all of our questions.

I will be personally mentioning the excellent service I received to all of my family and friends, because I am confident they will be in good hands. Thank you for your hard work and dedication! My only regret is not contacting them sooner.

Hi my name is Jason,

I write this review to express my satisfaction in regards to my FRO case and how it was handled by my lawyer Andreina Minicozzi. Her level of professionalism and hard work helped me close my case and move on. I was with a firm prior to this one that had no interest in helping me after miss Minicozzi left. Choosing to remain with her was a no brainer. She’s a fighter and delivers. This firm is solid and I would have not gotten the same results had I chose to stay with AP Princewill who clearly had no interest in pursuing my case. Devry Smith Frank LLP and especially miss Minicozzi is the firm that I recommend strongly to anyone asking for help in regards to matters like mine. Big thank you to the firm and it’s awesome lawyers!

Farzana was very professional, understanding and thorough. I really recommend her and her team at Devry Smith Frank LLP.

Andreina really is a people person. Very personable and has your best interest at heart. She is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I am very happy I have found her as my lawyer. I would recommend her to anyone.

Go anywhere but here to for your legal needs, our interaction with Carrie Kennedy was unpleasant, to be polite. A heartless overcharging establishment with a staff to match.

Farzana Jiwani was a welcoming empathetic support who agreed to take on my very complex case. Farzana worked collaboratively with me ensuring my thoughts and views were represented in all documents submitted to the courts. Farzana represented me in the final phase of my case during trial and demonstrated exceptional knowledge, professionalism, and legal expertise. Farzana went above and beyond to ensure my needs were met and always treated me with dignity and respect. A diligent and persistent family lawyer who seeks truth and justice with passion. I would highly recommend Farzana if you need any support regarding family law.

We were recommended to use Devry by a close friend. Billings ran up and yet absolutely nothing was accomplished. We realized this some $7 K into the process. Its possible that they are not strong with family law. Just found that time was wasted without concern. We ended up Retaining an incredible family lawyer at another firm for double the price. He got what we needed done in a quarter of the time Devry took and was very successful. I would not use these guys again.
