SV Law LLP

Had my will updated. No one said how much such a small thing would cost. $825 later my will is updated. Had I known the astronomical fee I would have to pay I would have left my will as it was. I am beyond mad! I would encourage people who are looking to update or make a will to find a different avenue than a lawyers office.

I had the pleasure of dealing with Randy Brant and his team at SV law for a family law case and real estate transaction. His team was extremely knowledgeable, willing to listen, and responsive on all aspects. 10/10 recommended

I have recently worked with SV Law to close a purchase. There service is 2nd to none. Responsiveness and attention to detail made this purchase closing seamless. I would highly recommend working with their team. Rabia Mir in particular was great to work with.
Cheers!

They charged my 89 year old father who had been in the hospital with cancer over 900 hundred dollars to send him a form letter. The lawyer was Robert Mullin.

Awesome customer service and pricing was fantastic for what we needed. I will use them again in the future

Please be advised,
Feb 2022, Just signed my Will only to see that their typist (for the third time) misspelt the first name of my beneficiary having just four letters!
"SV LAW EXCELLENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY"?

Overall disappointing experience so save your money and look elsewhere. Didn't feel like they advocated on our behalf and provided little guidance or strategy.

Ultimately, you'll struggle to see the value for the fees they charge and don't expect much enthusiasm or compassion from them. Take care in vetting their lawyers to make sure they have practical experience in the law areas they claim to be experienced in.

Follow up on concerns about the firm after the fact are never addressed so don't waste your breathe.

A few months ago, our condo corporation used SV Law represented by Robert who helped us look into a next door development project.
We were given excellent guidance, up to date communication and better than expected outcome.
I am glad we had the opportunity to work together.
I hope you have a great and prosperous new year.
Cheers!

SV is my Moms law firm. I've worked with them on OLT hearings. Very strong and competent lawyers.

When I walk into a place I don't want to think. " who's paying for this place? " Oh yeah we all are. Lol

Poor communication, disorganized, unresponsive.after my initial call to SV Law l was assigned a lawyer. Despite leaving Curtis Tomlinson 2 voice messages over a period of 7 work days, l still had no response. No initial contact to set up a meeting or even gather info.to start my file. I also left 2 more voice messages with the clerk who initially took my call to see if l could be reassigned to a lawyer who was more available and again no response. Even with people working part time from home and part time in the office, there should not have been an issue making phone contact. There is no excuse for this. I wouldn’t want this firm representing me now anyway after such a poor show of professionalism.

I finally gave up waiting and called another firm in town. Within 10 mins of speaking to that clerk, she had not only assigned my case to a partner but also set up an initial Zoom meeting with him. The link for this meeting was emailed to me within 5 mins of hanging up.

What a waste of my time SV Law was. Now l have a firm that is interested in their clients, treats them professionally and with respect. SV’s manner of conducting business is inexcusable. Don’t waste your time with this firm. They don’t care!

SV law in collaboration with SHABRI PROPERTIES illtreated me and made my life miserable because of their greed for money. They were bent on perpetrating this wicked act while abandoning humanity and compassion especially in this pandemic. I had only lived in my home for barely over 2 months and these wicked people maliciously imposed a payment of almost 400% to what I originally owe, despite explaining my family situation and the negative impact of the pandemic on me.

Helped us with a property sale. Very helpful and knowledgable. Prompt replies and took care of everything for us. Thank you!

I hired Michael Ruhl to represent me in a divorce. As a woman, I felt he wasn't respectful of me at all. He certainly didn't fight for me and just scoffed at things I would say. Which later he admitted I was right and called me "smart". It was an awful experience. I expected much better conduct of a senior partner, and would never recommend SV Law to anyone.

Absolutely, they care about their client and it shows. Got me through a very difficult period in my life.

I have been working with SV Law for 10 years, primarily with EJ Stross. He has always given me well thought out advice in a way I could understand. He is a steady influence that makes a stressful deal be less emotionally charged. He is not an alarmist but he doesn't let anything get by him either. I highly recommend him for real estate, wills and business law.

My mother passed away 1.5 years ago with David Smith as her executor. Her estate has still not be completed, nor final taxes filed. This has been emotionally hard on me, her daughter, and beneficiary. And who knows if I am losing money my mother and father would want me to have, rather than paying late fees on death taxes

EJ is incredibly knowledgeable within his expertise as a general practice lawyer. He treats his clients with the care and respect needed, especially with sensitive topics such as wills and power of attorney. I won't hesitate to refer EJ and his team at SV Law.

My fiancé and I used SV Law when purchasing our first home. Curtis Tomlinson and his team (Josee and Megan) were a fantastic resource and incredibly helpful throughout the process.

I would recommend Curtis and SV Law to everyone. We will be back with any future legal needs.

We have always found Frank to be very passionate, hard working and extremely easy to talk with about any legal question or advice we have needed. He always responds quickly and is always available for our personal or business legal needs. I’d recommend Frank and his team anytime!

Ernest (E. J.) J. Stross and the staff at S. V. Law office were truly fantastic with my mom’s Powers of Attorney. They were quick, efficient and simply great to deal with.

They accommodated my mom with an interpreter and made her feel very comfortable throughout the entire process (which was very important to us; the family).

We couldn’t have possibly expected better service; period! - Thank you, E. J.

I highly recommend S. V. Law.

Crooks crooks they charged me close to 5000 for mediation where I wasn't even able to present my case n defend my actions. They had no right to order me to pay anything because if I broke contract with condo corporation then they broke their contract by not keeping property up to standard and like them I have evidence n far more then they had audio video

The team at SV Law are the definition of professionals. I have been working alongside many members of the team for over a year and every interaction with their lawyers is extremely positive, valuable, and friendly. I would 10/10 recommend them - keep up the great work, SV Law Team.

Eric Kerson used condescending remarks, then attempted to calm the meeting that he angered, by taking aggressive measures. This meeting was already sensitive and required a more diplomatic approach. However, when attendees were clearly upset, he declared, 'you're paying me to stand here and argue, I'm willing to sit here all night'.
His place in the meeting was to aid as legal assistance, helping the meeting with the legal terms of the condominium board. He also mentioned in the meeting that he advised the board of 6 to keep plans for budgeting and major repairs away from the home owners (60 units). These tactics the lawyer made were out of his jurisdiction for this meeting and should have never inserted himself as chairing the meeting, as that was to our Condominium Manager. Who also caused some disturbance with her lesser than diplomatic stance.
This meeting proved useless due to him and a few others. My questions were never answered and this incident may have been to the detriment of our future as a condominium complex. I hope this incident can be learnt from and somehow resolved.
Going forward, any potential customer's reading this, I am sure this firm is great. I do recommend declining any legal service from Mr. Eric Kerson. I hope this firm, or Eric, can reconcile with our condominium at 219 Kingswood drive from this incident.

Terrible law firm. I hired them to refinance my Mortgage and when I received the invoice it was double the amount that I had quoted. Stay away and save your money.

I have been working with Frank Valeriote for many years. He is completely trustworthy. Frank works diligently to arrive at best outcomes and is knowledgeable, connected, and capable to be successful. Frank treats my small (or significant) concerns with equal care. We are fortunate to have Frank as a resource.

I have worked with EJ Stross over the past 2 years. He's great and has been a fantastic resource.

Such a burden lifted with the help of Smith Valeriote dealing with the estate. Nichola and Jan are amazing, and extremely professional
