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!

Keep up the great work and thanks for acting on our behalf so impartially!

I'm looking forward to having him help us write my father's will as well.

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.

Be very careful if you are thinking of using this law firm for your family law matter.. they are ruthless with their fees... They start with the typical small retainer and before you know it you will be neck deep in fees... in my case $ 45 K for what they claimed was a "simple matter". In the end they failed me.. in many ways.. from document filing to forgetting to advise me of court dates to not presenting the facts accurately and here is the clincher,.. when I could not afford to pay them the ridiculously high fees.. the got a judgement and liquidated my only savings.. my RRSP... gone.. all of it without notice.. Stay away - far away from this firm.. There are several abused clients ramping up an action against them

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.

Pending explanation of exorbitant fee structure on a clients mortgage which he defaulted but tried to make restitutions but the unexplainable fees are such that makes it impossible. I understand they represent the big bank, but have absolutely no compassion for someone that has reached a crisis in their life.

A friend referred me to Devry, Smith and Frank LLP in 2005 when I was looking for a real estate lawyer. Wayne Wolfe was my first point of contact with the firm; Wayne s professionalism, attention to detail and expertise cemented a trusted relationship with DSF that continues nine years later. When expertise in other legal areas arose, I worked with Flora Poon; Flora s legal expertise and compassionate, friendly disposition helped me to manage a very stressful situation. I would highly recommend both Wayne and Flora; you will feel confident having them by your side guiding you through the legal process.

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.

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.

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!

Strongly do not recommend the services of this lawyer at the Whitby office. She didn t explain the options available how to proceed with an estate dispute. She initially took the case on the premise that fraud was committed with undo influences and she did not explain the other options such as spousal support.Her assistant was very sarcastic and she even believed the mis-info the other-side provided. I thought she was either naive or lack experience in real life situations .It almost felt like she was representing the other-side.

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.

Hi my name is Jason,

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!

DSF's came highly recommended from a friend and we're described as straight forward and honest, which was absolutely right. They will assess your situation and layout the options upfront. Many places have a free consultation, here you do have to pay but it's well worth the advice you get out of it. If you plan to proceed, I think it's worth the investment because they are quick and experienced. I trust their advice and will definitely use their services in the future.

We utilised the services of Bob Adorian at this firm to coordinate the sale of our existing home and the purchase of our new home. Emails were never responded to by either bob or his assistant polina. The only occasion where we received a call back was during the day of the closing. We had to repeat and re-send information several times and the client service levels were very very poor. We had to ask technical and legal questions about the whole process. Bob or Polina never took the time to explain the details of the process. What this firm needs to understand is that individuals buy and sell homes 2 or 3 times during their entire lifetimes and depend on their lawyers as experts to advise them of things to be aware of. Even at the time of writing this review, we were not being listened to when we offered them feedback about the poor service we received.

I used their services when buying my first home and very disappointed with the quality of service. The communication was very poor, in most cases emails to Polina and Robert was not answered. They fail to deliver final report on time, they told it will be delivered in 4-8 weeks, but it was delivered only on 10th week.
This is the first time I dealing with lawyers in Canada, so may be this slowness and communication is normal for the industry, but it is not acceptable in my opinion, I would not deal with that company again and don't suggest anybody.

My mom was rear ended by another vehicle where my sister and I were passengers. We filed a claim and everything was going smoothly, timely, and professionally thanks to our Law Clerk Murrad at the time. Suddenly, half way through our claim Murrad left the firm and all things went down hill from there. No one seemed to be handling our file and when we went to speak with our supposed to be Lawyer Mark he gave us the run around. No updates were given into what was going on with our claim. Years went by and I decided to push the issue and was told that another Lawyer David Schell would be taking over our file. We never heard anything from either Mark or David Schell even when we inquired for an update. It took about 3 or 4 years before we were able to get a solid response about our settlement. My mom and I attended a Disclosure hearing and had no Lawyer to represent us when the other Lawyer was grilling us about personal details of our lives. Instead they sent a very young female Law clerk who just sat there and said nothing in our defense. Mind you the questions we were asked had nothing to do with the car accident and it seemed malicious in nature. That's why we should have had proper representation by a Lawyer who took 30% of our settlement. In the end, I ended up with $5,000, my mom $16,000, and the Lawyer ate about $20,000 - $30,000 (can't really remember the exact number but it was a lot). I mean i know we have to pay 30% in fees but for what? Like what work did they do on or file that warranted the lawyer to get more than me? I requested a time sheet depicting the work and fees to prove the work that was done on our file. They provided a copy but I strongly believed that it was drafted up at the last second by one of their fancy law clerks. I also strongly believe that our settlement was left sitting in a corner collecting dust to add more money to their hefty fees. I would not recommend as I still have nightmares about how greedy these Lawyers can be. I mean do they really think they deserve $20,000 for not showing up to represent their clients? Not proving legal advice, feedback, and by simply keeping in touch? We shouldn't have to chase a lawyer that is being paid quite nice in the end. They were also unreachable by phone and we literally had to go down to their office multiple times just before we actually got a 2 minute legal advice telling us not to go to trial out of ear of being counter sued blah blah blah

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.

As a co-executor on my mother's estate I received very professional legal assistance and advice with the handling of my late mother's estate. All of the required legal documentation for my mother's estate was meticulously prepared by Devry Smith Frank LLP. I was given all of the information that I requested about the legal process and I received well thought out legal advice and direction from Wayne Wolfe with regards to executing my mother's will and with the settling of her estate. Wayne's assistant, Denise Jensen, was very helpful and kind. She fully explained all of the various steps required to finalize my mother's estate and she was very professional and was very prompt in replying to my questions. The expenses for the legal services provided to me by Devry Smith Frank LLP were very fair with no unexpected expenses. I would recommend Devry Smith Frank LLP. I highly recommend Wayne Wolfe and Denise Jensen based on how they handled my mother's legal affairs. My mother's estate was settled in a timely manner with no loose ends giving me peace of mind that there would not be any future legal complications for myself or the other co-executor for my mother's estate.

I retained the services of Kerri Parslow earlier this summer on the advice of a corporate client. Having just completed divorce proceedings in the US, I was served in the Canadian courts and needed strong representation with the depth to understand the complexities of family law litigation in a cross-border situation...

Such actions are never pleasant but the DSF experience was successful based on: 1) depth (I originally thought I was just retaining Kerri, yet it was clear this practice acts as a team and makes use of senior staff members on an ongoing basis (i.e. respected attorney John Schuman) - always better to put talent in play versus depending on a "point estimate"); 2) connectivity/communication (the worst feeling is not knowing the status of your case or having questions go unanswered (based on my US experience) - Kerri and her team were always available - bberry friendly and supportive, chats/discussions were often held well outside business hours); 3) cost control (no one likes to pay counsel - especially CDN rates, yet Brooke Kennedy is a very capable Law Clerk for the Family Law Group at DSF and was used appropriately to help offset costs and reduce the overall expense).

Choosing representation is always an issue of trust on future performance - I'm pleased with my choice, and wouldn't hesitate to use the services of Kerri Parslow in the future.

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.
