Huckabone O'Brien Instance Bradley Lyle - Pembroke, Ontario

Tyler J.

Worst lawyer ever; back in 2019, would not return my phone calls when I was checking on some legal issues facing my mom in Petawawa. I ended up getting legal advice from another lawyer in Pembroke and encouraged my mom to switch but she was busy. Fast forward to 2024 and my mom had been diagnosed with dementia and was in the more advanced stages so is now in a memory care home in Ottawa. I had questions about the POA document as her sister had recently died and will as the secondary, plus questions about the eventual sale of her house. Again, they never returned my calls and said that they would not deal with me, only my mom, even though she can barely talk, cannot handle her finances and does not remember things. I have since switched her legal affairs to a very efficient lawyer in Ottawa. They are uncaring, unresponsive, and inefficient - avoid them at all costs.

They won’t BS you. I was faced with a nasty criminal charge with a mandatory minimum. He got me a conditional sentence. He won the charter challenge, then “won” sentencing for me.

It’s not an easy law firm they are hands off and they will tell you pessimistic news before good news.

TLDR; go with Huckabone he will create the best possible outcome. He also won’t be your friend he will tell it like your parents didn’t. It may be jail but it will be 10% of the jail you would have got without him.

He isn’t a get outta jail free card he believes in guilt but mitigation and arbitration trust me go far with him.

Brent Smith is everything you want in a lawyer: knowledgeable, courteous, patient and professional. When a routine real estate matter became complex and urgent (through no fault of his), Mr. Smith made himself available on short notice and dealt with the issue promptly and diplomatically. We were very grateful to have Mr. Smith on our side. Further, it is worth noting Cheryl was infinitely patient tracking down and ensuring all paperwork from the various organizations was correct and complete. Thank you both for all your assistance.

0 out of 10. You stand a better chance by representing yourself.
His explaination of poor service was due to his wife was divorcing him. She is a judge !

Just cant understand how he is in business.
