KMH Lawyers Review

I am satisfied with how my case was handled.
I was receiving good advises which in the end brought the case to a successful conclusion

most unprofessional law firm Ive ever seen. Do your self a favor and find another property lawyer .. unless you want a random bill to show up 5 months after closing . Call them to question them about it ... be ready for some of the rudest people you will ever converse with . This firm is so bad my realtor wont even send clients there anymore. I guess being in a shady office in the bottom of Billings bridge should have been my first tip not to use them. Never again . Horrible !!

One of the worst customer service experience I had. Stay away, especially Nancy.

Called for small claims court advise and had a return phone call that day and two other call backs to questions I had. Prompt and polite

Ms. Heaphy of KMH Lawyers was excellent to deal with. She handled everything and was very professional. I recommend her if you need a lawyer. Thanks

I needed to contact KMH Lawyers for a request, their response time was within minutes. Elisha was able to answer my inquiry in less than a day. What a great contribution to a successful Law Firm!

I really love the team at KMH! They have helped me with corporate and personal real estate transactions! They are efficient and reasonably priced! You can't go wrong with these great people!

Miriam and her team at KMH lawyers have been successfully litigating for myself and others in a class action for 4 years now. The team is highly professional. Miriam is honest and easy to speak to on complex legal matters. I would not hesitate recommending them or using their services again.

My family and I have dealt with Ted Manthorp and his firm for the last twenty-five or so years. We have always been impressed with the quality of service provided.

Within the last five or so years I had occasion to deal with one of his partners, Miriam Vale-Peters. At that time I was very impressed with her straightforward, no nonsense but low key attitude. This past week, I had occasion to deal with her once again and I was once again impressed by the service provided. A very honest lawyer (taking after Ted's example), who provided the requested service in short order in a no hassle fashion. Direct, to the point, courteous and professional. She understood the nature of the request and made it happen within a day.

Very slow in responding! Could do better and provide better service to their clients who pay their salaries.

On behalf of my family I wanted to express my gratitude for your efforts and dedication in my father s case. This was a very upsetting situation and we truly appreciate your attention to this matter. We are grateful that you relieved our stress and that your determination resolved our worries. Your professional yet caring manner gave us reassurance that we were working with the right firm. So far our outcome is wonderful and has been a great relief for my father and our family. We highly recommend KMH lawyers and a special thank you to our lawyer Miriam Vale Peters and to Kira Kohl(articling student). Sincerely The Murray family

Excellent lawyers, Elisha Kelly and Nancie Anne Heaphy are the one of the best in their fields.

Professional, well organized, accurate appointments and right advice ,and very very friendly ,highly recommend ,thanks Elisha, me and my family really appreciate your hard work!

Hired this law firm to take care of my condo sale and a full month after my closing date I received a surprise invoice that wasn't paid by them when the proceeds from the sale came through. This invoice negatively impacted my existing budget by $1,500 and all I got was a less than heartfelt apology. When I pressed the issue and informed them that they happily took their full fee of $950 + HST and didn't actually provide me with the full service they promised, I was mailed a cheque for $50 as compensation. Considering it amounts to exactly 4.6% of the actual fee paid, that amounts to a slap in the face. Avoid this firm at all costs if you want to actually have your real estate closing process done completely, competently and error free.

Miriam Vale Peters of KMH helped my husband and I through a family Estate dispute this year with utmost professionalism. She was able to resolve the disputes through mediation without going into litigation. She listened to her clients, gave timely and workable advices and executed the best solutions with diplomacy, firmness, fairness and great legal skills. At the end, she helped us recover the missing estate money with reasonable legal costs to us. We are extremely grateful for Miriam s service. Her wonderful team of assistants at her office was very helpful and made our experience a 10 out of 10! Thank you!

Elisha Kelly was the Lawyer I dealt with from KMH Lawyers. Throughout the whole transaction Elisha was (incredibly) always available, understanding, polite, accommodating and communicative (especially when the deadlines were tight). I could not have imagined a more positive, comforting, confident experience and am incredibly glad I had Elisha to represent me! Even after wrapping up the sale and receiving payment for services rendered, Elisha continued to make me feel like a priority.

I would highly recommend KMH to anyone looking for a real-estate lawyer, and I will be recommending them personally to anyone I know looking to purchase a property. I am beyond satisfied with my experience, and can not recommend Elisha Kelly and KMH Lawyers highly enough!

Professional and attention to detail. Used for many real estate related transactions.

Miriam Vale Peters was of great help to me in coming to an agreement with a former employer. She was very professional and knowledgeable: always quick to respond and also very thorough with all the details - it was great to have her in my corner.

Excellent team. Been with them for 15 years. Fantastic service

I worked with Nancie-Anne Heaphy for our house purchase. She wasn't good. Problems have happened between us and the builder, and she was not willing to uphold our rights at all. Quite disappointing. Stay away.

I was looking for a lawyer to close on my first home. And I came across KMH lawyers. I was represented by Elisha M.E. Kelly. I am so happy that I did. I emailed her and within minutes I got a response. Right from the start Elisha answered all of my questions and was very professional. We emailed each other until we met in person. Elisha is very down to earth. She made our experience very pleasant and smooth. We had to close in 2 days and she made all of our worries stress free and excited at the same time. Explained everything we needed to know. Elisha treats her clients like family. She has your back 100%. She is there for you and gets the job done. I would recommend Elisha Kelly to everyone looking for a lawyer. Her fees are affordable compared to most firms out there which is a bonus! Look no further! Thank you Elisha and team for looking after us! Happy clients in Ottawa!

Miriam very generously offered her ear in listening to my legal issue. She was kind, supportive, and direct, giving me information and guidance that I needed. She didn't rush our consultation call and though could have encouraged me to retain her for services, proceeded with integrity, informing me an option that was more advantageous to me, not her bottom line. Though I am unfamiliar with the legal arena, I believe this to be an exception to the rule. I would strongly recommend anyone to contact Miriam Vale Peters.

Ottawa, On

We were very impressed with the preparation of our wills. Elisha made us feel very valued and provided great advice.

I wouldn t hesitate to recommend Nancie Heaphy she is very helpful and informative.

When I searched for "Best Litigation lawyers in Ottawa" google recommended three law firms. I called them all, there is only voice message box. Then I tried an email address of Miriam Vale Peters, I unexpectedly got an response very quickly. She asked me for some more information about my concerns and I replied immediately. Back and forth three rounds of email exchange, she gives me good clear advice as what to do next etc. I'm very grateful to meet her and would like to come to her if I ever need a legal help in Ottawa in the future.

My parents died 2 weeks apart just as I was completing treatment for breast cancer. To say I was overwhelmed would be an understatement. We had previously had work done by Ted Manthorpe and when he retired Elisha Kelly took over our needs. Elisha and Isabelle El-Chidiac took on the tasks of helping me to settle my parents estate, taking it to probate and amending the deed (there was more, but it's all a blur). They were incredibly kind and considerate and professional. They kept the lines of communication wide-open, both ways. I was in very capable hands and now, a year later, everything is settled and I have peace of mind. I recommend KMH lawyers and especially Elisha and Isabelle without any hesitation. Forever grateful.

This law firm is outstanding. Extremely competent, proficient, compassionate and very friendly and courteous. Thank you to Miriam Vale Peters and her staff for all your help in our situation and your continued support.

Thank you
Best Regards

Diana and Louis Gratton

We have been clients of KMH Lawyers for over 10 years. Originally to update our estate documents. Since then we have had the joy of working with Ms. Vale-Peters on Corporate and Employment matters. Never saw such a reliable team, let alone lawyer. KMH can help you no matter your issues. Great team!

I worked with Nancie on my home closing and it went very smoothly. She is very professional, attentive to details, and gets the job done. She is also very busy and has many clients yet she is very responsive specially by email. Also she is very well priced compared to others and provides services on-par with her competition. I will be working with Nancie again if I need a lawyer in the future.

Elisha was very professional and courteous and responsive. She definitely exceeded my expectations and I would not hesitate to recommend her!

The staff are very friendly and offer a great deal of information on various topics in legal advice. I highly recommend this firm to anyone.

I completed my articles with KMH Lawyers, working under Miriam Vale Peters and doing primarily civil litigation. Several years later, my neighbours and I ran into a legal problem when our real estate developer refused to honour our purchase agreements. Being in no position to litigate the case myself, I had to find a lawyer to represent me and over 100 of my neighbours. Based on my insider knowledge of the firm, I knew without a doubt that they were the best choice for civil litigation. Thanks to the expertise and dedication of KMH to my case, we have won every motion and appeal over the past 4 years. I have recommended KMH to everyone I know, and have consistently received feedback from friends and family that Miriam is clearly an expert in her field, and was able to communicate and resolve legal issues quickly and efficiently. I continue to give KMH my highest recommendation.

I was very pleased with the legal services I received from Sara Drury of KMH. She was very professional and responded to my e-mails in a timely manner.

I worked with Elisha Kelly, she is very professional and responsible. She responses all the questions very prompt even after closing date of our house and even at different topics. I strongly recommend people to use her services.

I was informed in a very professional, friendly manner on
how to proceed with my inquiry.
A follow up email was sent to confirm everything was completed.
Thanks Bonnie!

Elisha was more than amazing. She managed the purchase of our house as if her own! Although we had some hurdles and obstacles to cross, she was there every step of the way to help and provide the appropriate solutions. Would most definitely recommend to family and friends...thanks again Elisha!

Very professional and quick to respond. Their advice was much appreciated. I highly recommend this law firm.

The team were very responsive and professional, they provide frank and honest advice. Can not thank them enough

Miriam Vale Peters, is highly efficient, effective, astute and responsive everything one might wish for in their lawyer.

Nancie (And team) are phenomenal to deal with. I was assured and confident in my choice of solicitor. Nancie has worked on two of my files this year. For the cost and level of service I've received she is second to none. My family has been doing business with KMH since arriving to Canada in 1993! Thanks again KMH! :)

Elisha Kelly handled the sale of our old home and purchase of our new home seamlessly. Her professionalism, efficiency and responsiveness were unmatched (our mortgage broker even commented that he would use her for referrals going forward). She has earned herself lifelong clients and we look forward to working with her in the future!

We recently bought our first home with Nancie-Anne Heaphy and I really appreciated how patient she was answering any questions we had during the conditional sale process and during closing. As a first time homebuyer, the whole process can be a bit daunting, so having her expertise to fall back on was extremely helpful. We will definitely use her again in the future!

Good service even if you don't end up being their client

I was very pleased in general and have recommended this firm to others and will continue to do so.

I would like to thank Miriam Vale Peters who provided support and guidance on how to deal with all of the questions and issues I was facing from possible litigation. For the last month, I was feeling so lost and overwhelmed and grief of what I should be doing or not doing as an Estate Trustee. Miriam clarified and provided helpful advice which now has made me feel stronger and informed of what my duties are. Thank you Miriam, I feel so lucky to have found you and your team.

Very thorough and knowledgeable service! I totally recommend getting the help of KMH Lawyers. Nancie-Anne and Sara-Louise will take care of you.

I worked wit Nancie-Anne Heaphy and I am happy with her services. She is quick in correspondence and pays the necessary attention to the case in her hand. The place is processional and welcoming.

I dealt with Nancie mainly through email. She was so pleasant to deal with. Everything was efficient and my closing went well.

The service was great, Nancy was on top of the file and follow up regularly, answer my email within reasonable time.
