I can't thank Ashley and the team enough for the incredible job they did with my divorce case. From our very first meeting, I felt supported, informed, and genuinely cared for. What could’ve been an overwhelming situation was made manageable thanks to her.

Ashley was always responsive, explained every step clearly, and fought hard to ensure the best possible outcome for me.
Thanks to her expertise and dedication, I was able to move forward with peace of mind. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone who needs a strong, reliable, and empathetic advocate during a difficult time.

I can’t speak highly enough of Sanaz Golestani. My separation was incredibly difficult, made even more challenging by having to deal with the most unreasonable man. Through it all, she remained steady, compassionate, and fiercely protective of my rights. She never hesitated to stand up for me, even when things got tough, and made sure I felt heard, respected, and supported every step of the way. Her professionalism and determination gave me the strength to get through one of the hardest times in my life. I’m beyond grateful for her advocacy and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone in need of a strong and caring family lawyer.

I had the pleasure of working with Sanaz Golestani for a post-nuptial agreement, and I couldn't be more grateful for her professionalism, warmth, and clarity throughout the entire process. From our first meeting, Sanaz took the time to listen with empathy and approach the situation with both care and expertise. She explained every step in a way that was easy to understand, ensuring I felt fully informed and comfortable before moving forward.

Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to balance legal precision with a human touch made all the difference. Sanaz truly advocated for my best interests while maintaining a respectful, solution-focused approach.

I highly recommend Sanaz Golestani to anyone seeking not only a knowledgeable and capable family lawyer, but also someone who brings integrity and compassion to their work.

Shelly Kalra has represented me for 4-5 years in my 7 years divorce process. She was my 4th lawyer after 3 unsatisfying lawyers.

By contrast, I feel lucky that Shelly (and her assistant Cheryl) were by my side, as a divorced father of two.

The only complaint I have about her is that she can be difficult at times to reach and may ignore messages, and the process may have taken longer as a consequence.

But Shelly is there in emergencies and she always provided no-nonsense, knowledgeable and pragmatic advice, and she bills her hours fairly.

They are both very experienced family lawyers, very compassionate and supportive.
They are very professional and they always keep in mind the best outcome for their client.
I highly recommend their services.

Shelly and Ashley are very experienced and accomplished family lawyers. They are brilliant and hardworking. They were present when I needed them. They helped me protect my children and my rights ongoing. Without going into complete personal details, I cannot express how thankful I am when emergencies arose. It is hard to write a review of this kind because of the personal nature – but I hope that it helps others who are looking for a family lawyer.

Shelly ensured that I received 50/50 parenting time, when other lawyers told me it may not be possible as the father. I spoke to various lawyers and I was being told over and over that I probably won’t receive equal parenting time – which I could not understand why. It is not easy to navigate family law or a divorce, but you are in good hands with this firm. They are busy, but rightfully so - you will be hard pressed finding family lawyers like this. I initially started with another law firm but was disappointed and burned. After days of in depth searching and speaking to many lawyers, I chose Shelly and I am grateful that I did. I have been her client for about two years now – she can handle anything thrown at her. They have exceeded my expectations time and time again.

-You will find that they are very knowledgeable about the law, courts, and processes
-They will be upfront and honest
-They will not rip you off or take advantage of you, all billing has always been fair
-They are interested in the most logical and easy resolution, but will litigate if necessary to protect your rights
-They are caring and compassionate, actually care about children
-They were able to coordinate many different aspects of my predicaments, they even spoke to the York Regional Police’s lawyer when the police were confused on how to enforce a judge signed court order
-I can even recall a time when Shelly went to court proactively to ensure there would be no confusion for a parenting time settlement – she did not need to do this and it showed that she cares about her job and my matter

I highly recommend them if you are looking for a family lawyer.

I'm thrilled to share my exceptional experience with Shelly, my remarkable lawyer. Right from the beginning, Shelly stood out as a paragon of honesty, fairness, and reasonability – qualities that are like rare gems in the legal world.

One aspect that truly distinguishes Shelly is her approach to billing. In contrast to the typical family lawyers who exploit billing, Shelly's approach is refreshingly sensitive. She's committed to achieving optimal outcomes, steering clear of unnecessary tactics to inflate charges.

Shelly's dedication to swift resolutions is exemplary. She adeptly transitions from being amicable to assertive, knowing precisely when each strategy is warranted.

With a distinguished career as both an accomplished litigator and an expert in alternative dispute resolution, Shelly's reputation in the courts is nothing short of astonishing. Her standing and respect among peers are unequivocally well-deserved.

Cheryl, her law clerk, is exceptional – her accuracy and punctuality are razor-sharp, she never misses a deadline, and her experience is truly remarkable.

Rachel, the Associate lawyer, is equally impressive – fast, sharp, meticulous, and the embodiment of professionalism.

This team is unwavering, offering incredible support regardless of the complexity of the case. Their professionalism and integrity shine in every interaction.

Two years of association have only deepened my confidence in this firm, and I've enthusiastically recommended them to many others. Shelly and her team don't just offer legal prowess; they reignite faith in the legal realm's commitment to justice.
