I'm so happy I contacted the firm of Samfiru Tumarkin LLP to get their legal advice before I signed my severance offer documents. They provided me with excellent and prompt legal advice for my situation. I was quickly contacted for an initial assessment at no cost shorty after I submitted my information online. After that, I was assigned an employment lawyer and was promptly scheduled for a meeting. I was very lucky to have Samara Belitzky as my lawyer. Samara is very knowledgeable, smart, compassionate, and responsive to my problem and all my questions. Samara thoroughly examined my situation and proposed possible courses of action. Samara completely handled all the back-and-forth negotiations on my behalf and kept me in the loop about ongoing developments during the negotiations. Samara is so detailed and thorough and will always present the options available to you and explain the pros and cons of each option. Just after settlement was reached on my separation matter, Samara also helped me to review my new employment offer package at no cost. I would definitely recommend Samara and her team to anyone looking for employment advice related to separation/severance or employment contracts. They are just an excellent organization. I would give them 100 stars if I could.

I wouldn't hesitate to call him again should the need arise. Highly recommended.

Samara Belitzky is receiving a tonne of 5 star reviews and all for good reason.

Rarely in this long professional life of mine that implied regular contacts with all sorts of lawyers, I found such a high level of professionalism and customer care as I found with Samfiru.

My experience with Roger Zhang and his team was terrific. Very knowledgeable and offered great advice the entire way through.

What your employer offers versus what you are really entitled to can be worlds apart in the employers favor so definitely reach out to these guys for their expertise first! Thanks again!

I was very fortunate I made the decision to get a second opinion on my severance package. From the first law firm I approached I was told my package was the best I would receive due to the small print in my employment contract. I made a call to Samfiru Tumarkin Legal Services and it was the best call I made throughout the process. Samara and her team were able to find holes in the fine print and as a result were able to get me a severance package that I felt was fair.
Anytime you are involved in a lawsuit, it can be one of the most stressful times of your life. Samara and her team put all my stress to rest with their great service and professional approach to the issue on hand. I would highly recommend Samfiru Tumarkin Lawyers to anyone in need.

Samara provided excellent and knowledgeable guidance on my case.
Thanks to her recommendations I could prepare a proper strategy on time.

She is highly responsive and open to various ways of communication.

I had an excellent experience with this law firm. I worked with Samara Belitzky on a legal matter with a former employer and she absolutely knocked it out of the park. She even said before we started “if we get this outcome, that would be a slam dunk”, and then proceeded to swiftly get that outcome in a remarkably short amount of time. She was incredible. Consummate professionals who absolutely know their stuff! Would highly recommend.

We cannot say enough good things about our experience working with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. Through the whole process we had good communication and direction provided by the lawyer handling our case (Samara Belitzky). We felt we were in good hands and that our case was being well represented. We would highly recommended.

Very happy speaking to Alex Lucifero. He was very thorough and honest about my situation and offered great advice for my future. I would definitely go back to him when needed and definitely recommend to anyone needing employment advice.

Dealt with Samara, very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions. Explained all the options available in my situation.

I've had the opportunity to be represented by Samara Belitzky and i only have great words! I highly recommend her services at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. Her professionalism surpassed my expectations and i am grateful to have had the opportunity to be represented by her. -Jessica

After a year of being "Temporary" Laid off due to Covid I was told by another lawyer that because of Ontario's IDEL there wasn't much I could do to get any resolution with my job as it was basically in the hands of my employer to decide. I wasn't comfortable with that especially after 10 yrs of service with them, so I reached out to Samfiru Tumarkin and had the privilege of working with Samara Belitzky. I would highly recommend Samara as I was very impressed with her services and professionalism, not only did she keep me up to date but was successful in getting me what I deserved from my employer (former).

I don't have enough good things to say about my lawyer, James Fireman, and his team. When my LTD application was rejected, I wasn't in a place mentally/emotionally/physically where I could manage the appeal process. I was initially hesitant to reach out to a law firm but managing my health was overwhelming and dealing with the insurance company was beyond me.

James and his team were very competent, but beyond that, they made me feel like a person rather than a number or a paycheque. James was great at explaining the process, helping us understand what to expect, what to watch out for and gave realistic advice. He even did additional research into my condition and was fun to work with! We had a very positive outcome and I have already recommended James and his team to family and colleagues.

I am very grateful to Samara Belitzky for her professionalism and proficiency in helping to resolve an employment matter for me. I was kept well-informed throughout the process and am thankful for the fair and favourable outcome she secured. The services of this firm are as advertised. Thank you, Samara!

This isn't a paid endorsement. I was in pain, mentally and physically, and having "issues" that required a lawyer. I was iffy on who to choose as a Disability lawyer, I looked everywhere, and was beyond grateful to have found James Fireman. Him and his assistants (& firm really) saved my life. They took over communication and resolved everything quickly. With that out of the way, my health has slowly improved a bit. I'm no where near who I used to be, but have no doubts that my being on the path of any kind of improvement is in part to James. Thank you James, you sir are a beacon of hope to your clients, and I urge others to trust you, (he was also incredibly patient and professional).

This was my first experience working with lawyers and it was incredibly painless. Samara and Chantale were so professional and a great team who took the time to explain the process to me. They were really personable and I felt like the did their absolute best for me.

Highly recommend.

Also good to note: they won’t take on your case unless they’re fairly certain they can win.

Thank you to Alex for your professional guidance which helped me understand the terms and assessment of some legal questions that I had. You had been referred by a trusted friend, and I will definitely be recommending you and your firm to my connections.

My experience of dealing with this company was very positive. Samara Belitzky, who handled my case, was very responsive and acted professionally; she delivered the expected outcome in timely manner and kept me updated with the progress.
I would definitely recommend her and her associates to my friends and connections who seek legal advise or service.

We contacted the firm with a complex, multifaceted question/situation and were routed to Gledis Rada as our consulting attorney. Gledis was extremely thorough and professional in reviewing all the minute details of our situation, and was always very detailed in answering any questions we had. What's more, she made sure to (as professionally and politely as possible) reallign our expectations with the reality of the situation, to enable us to make the best decision going forward. We would happily work with Gledis in the future, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone with a law related concern.

From my personal experience, I have only great things to say about this law firm. My file was handled by Samara Belitzky and from the beginning all the aspects of the process and all the options were clearly presented to me. I had many questions and concerns and Samara was always helpful to provide all the answers. I never had any doubts that my best interests as the client were top priority and based on my experience I can highly recommend Samfiru Tumarkin Law Firm.

I had a very good experience with the law firm of Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. The appointments were easy to set up and each appointment started on time. All my affairs were looked after to my satisfaction with no surprises. All of my questions were explained to me with a plan in order to correct in my favour. I was dealing with Alex, who was very well spoken and assured me at each step that everything was looked after. I would strongly recommend this firm for anyone dealing with employment concerns. Thanks again for all your help during a very stressful time.

I was feeling a bit lost and confused when I was laid off work, due to covid 19, and lay off became permanent. Alex took on my case which was speedily resolved. I have no hesitation in recommending this company.

I was referred to Samfiru Tumarkin LLP Ottawa from a friend who used their services. They provided very timely, professional, and excellent advice to help when I needed it most.

Contacted Samara Belitzky at samfiru tumarken about my wrongfull dismissal case, I’m completely satisfied with the results samara got for me in a very short period of time.very efficient in the process and professional approach to my case.

I would highly recommend Samfiru Tumarkin LLP to anyone going through any employment problems. Specifically Samara Belitzky handled my settlement from beginning to end. At every moment I felt that I had the advantage due to having Samara on my side. Her endless knowledge of employment law and ability to educate and convey important legal information to a laymen like myself is simply outstanding. If you are going through anything with your employer that you should seek legal advice or services, ask for Samara Belitzky.

Being an HR consultant and dealing with employment matters for the last 40+years I have often had to engage employment lawyers if the matter is not resolved without taking it to the final step and into the courtroom. Having heard the radio ads for a while now and being a bit disappointed with how the case was proceeding in the hands of another law firm, I reached out to Alex Lucifero. To my utmost surprise after reviewing the documents I provided, Alex wrote a lengthy email offering us a very viable solution. The most important factor was Alex offered this advice free of charge. It goes to the integrity of his office. He could easily have charged us a full consultation but did not so citing that he could see that we had already spent a considerable amount with the other firm. A gesture that I have never experienced in my entire life in the HR business. Needless to say my next case will be handled by Alex for sure. His knowledge and his honesty has won me over for life. Thank you Alex.

I was let go due to COVID related circumstances after being at my job for almost 8 years. I did not feel that my severance was fair given my tenure, so I sent in a request to speak with a Lawyer about my situation

I was contacted by Samara Belitzky of Samfiru Tumarkin and we discussed the details of my termination. She encouraged me to follow through with negotiations to request a better severance package from my employer. By the end of negotiations, we were able to procure a settlement above and beyond what our initial expectations were.

I would highly recommend this firm and Samara specifically for any employment related council. Her guidance was kind, informative and effective. She made me feel as though my case was important and that resolution was a top priority. Thank you Samara.

*and all the best to anyone else who is going through similar circumstances*

Many people have been experiencing similar employment issues due to COVID. I contacted Samfiru Tumarkin and was introduced to Samara. Although I was very unsure of myself and had a lack of knowledge with regards to current laws and what I was entitled to, Samara made me feel comfortable from the beginning. She was so easy to talk to and always stayed current with information pertaining to my issue. I would recommend her to anyone needing help with employment issues.

Alex Lucifero did a fantastic job negotiating a recent severance settlement. He gave very clear an practical guidance on options throughout the processes and achieved a significant increase over the initial offer. I highly recommend him.

I consulted several lawyers before I made my final decision. Samara stood out and what caught my attention was her honesty and that she didn’t sugar coat the outcome like most lawyers would do. She understood the sensitivity of my case and laid out all scenarios to achieve the best possible results. She kept me updated throughout my ordeal. I can’t forget her assistant Chantale. She was also very professional and honest and kept me updated thru numerous emails.
I strongly recommend Samara and Chantale. They make a great team!
