Ira Smith Trustee & Receiver Inc. - Vaughan, Ontario

I had the pleasure of speaking with Brandon, an insolvency trustee, and even though I hadn't officially signed up or committed to anything yet, he picked up the phone and was nothing but respectful, patient, and professional from the very beginning. He took the time to walk me through my options, explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, and made what is usually a stressful and overwhelming process feel manageable.

Brandon never rushed me or made me feel like just another case. His genuine care and empathy really stood out. It's clear he truly wants to help people and not just push them into a decision. I felt heard, supported, and informed — all without any pressure to commit.

The firm as a whole also left a great impression on me. They clearly value integrity and compassion in their work.

I highly recommend Brandon and his team to anyone facing financial difficulties. Even if you're just in the information-gathering stage, you can count on being treated with respect and kindness here. Truly an amazing firm!

I discovered Ira on YouTube while watching some of his videos. I was impressed with his sincere and compassionate communication style and was even more enamoured to discover this is what he is like when you talk to him in person. He’s incredibly experienced on both sides as an insolvency trustee and receiver which can come in handy. I would rate him as the top expert in his field compared to other firms. He is willing to deliver more to you as opposed to getting what you just pay and doesn’t make you feel this to be a transactional relationship. This is THE firm you want to handle your thinking for you on strategy and engagement.

As a partner in a CPA Firm in Toronto, from time to time, our clients require the services of specialists. Where that specialty is in the Bankruptcy/Insolvency space, I most always refer to Ira Smith & Associates. More recently, I have had the pleasure to work not only with Ira; but with Brandon as well. Each and every client referred to Ira and Brandon have commented on how well served they felt professionally, and on the human side, felt very comfortable working with the team. As a professional myself, I can say that case by case, the advice and guidance provided by the Ira Smith team has been first rate. I would not hesitate to recommend the Ira and Brandon team to any client in need of advice in the areas of Bankruptcy, Consumer Proposal and Insolvency.

Ira was very helpful, patient and respectful as I unloaded fairly complex legal concerns in settling my mother's estate. Even though I am a lay person in the legal arena, he listened to me patiently and was respectful of what little I know legally. Sadly for the human race, dying is never out of season and the older we get, the more often we'll have to deal with the passing of loved ones. I can say at this point in history I am definitely open to using Ira Smith Trustee & Receiver Inc in future estate matters. Thank you again Ira! Wherever you are on Earth 🙏🤝

We worked with Ira and Brandon Smith in making a Proposal under the Bankruptcy Act. They were very professional. Providing timely, reliable and effective advice all along the process. Other Trustees made claims that we now know were unrealistic. Ira and Brandon were straightforward in providing workable solutions to the various challenges encountered. i would recommend their services to anyone looking for help with a serious debt problem.

I am a Toronto lawyer and have practiced predominantly criminal law for over 35 years, and have no knowledge or experience in the area of insolvency. As a result of work I was doing for a company with insolvency issues, Ira Smith was referred to me as one of the most competent and highly regarded trustees in the industry. Without a doubt, he lived up to that reputation. We communicated on many occasions via telephone and zoom meetings during which he provided valuable information and incite on the processes, strategies and options, and was always available to take calls and answer questions. I also learned that that he knows and has worked with most of the major professionals in the industry.
Although his services were not formally retained, there is no doubt in my mind that he is the absolute “go-to guy” in the industry for any professional, corporation or individual needing advice and/or the services of a trustee in any matter relating to insolvency.
