Galbraith Family Law - Barrie, Ontario

Steven Andrews

Lynn Kirwin took tons of money but once I was diagnosed with cataracts I couldn’t see. She used Covid to deny meeting me. Quit during a hearing. Left me battered by family court. Said it looks better to agree to 772 child support while I had no income and was going through surgeries. I had one of the worst results in Ontario in my opinion. Broken system and worse when your lawyer quits because she was criticized for poor performance after she dried up my money

I had a one hour consultation with Alexander. I find this law firm to be honest, knowledgeable, transparent, and helpful. In the one hour session, he broke down for me my case, my options and explained things in detail. He was patient answered all my questions never made me feel stupid. Trust is a big factor for me and I felt comfortable with everything. He told me.

We put out thousands and you didn’t even get the math calculations right. Nothing was done and as it seems nothing was even looked at. Although, I got back a ridiculous amount I owed for nothing!!! You literally didn’t even look at the amounts I have to pay and what I was actually making! Just very disappointed in to many leeches in this world!!! Terrible practice!!!

I can't just give one star to the whole firm, but Farah Sidi definitely deserves it. My original lawyer, who I was happy with, moved and Farah took over my case, which turned out to be a nightmare. Constantly opening, closing, reopening, and closing my file within two months, ignoring my requests, and providing services that I never Required ( reaching out my ex-husband lawyer, without letting me know,-it’s no go! reviewing my file every other week, unnecessary phone calls, and endless emails ) resulted in high costs. If you're looking for quality service at a fair price, Farah is definitely not the way to go.

Lorna Bernier

I was made to feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation and the individual who did the intake with me, was very understanding, compassionate, giving me the opportunity to speak of my concerns and thoughts and took the time to listen thank you so very much

My sister booked and paid for a 1 hour consultation.
The Lawyer called 17min late and seemed to be in a rush. Haven't heard back since.

Followed up with the lawyer it went to voice-mail and didn't recieve a call back.

I contacted the receptionist and told her the situation and she seem to not be any help and said she'll pass on my message.

Unprofessional, definitely feel like they took her money and ran. In this case we will take
Our money and run to a different lawfirm who want business.

This is my experience with the lawyer and I will exclude names because my experience can be different than yours.
I am disappointed. I did not recieve enough legal advice everything was “we’ll see how it plays out”. I basically paid alot of money for someone to send a message to my ex. Asking questions add up! In conclusion I was not provided enough advice/knowledge/suggestions on my case and when I asked questions it costed me alot of money!

1 word to describe my experience is neglected.
I feel clueless and unconfident with the outcome.

I found online lawyers who offer free consultation and they have been more helpful in conversations and showed compassion to me rather look at me as a walking piggy bank.

Shirley Smith

I highly recommend James Studer. He is extremely professional and was a great negotiator on my behalf. James a good balancing his focus on the bigger picture and on the details. He clearly explained my options throughout the process, which helped keep me calm in a very tense time of my life.
