Robert H. De Vries Family Law - Red Deer, Alberta

Cynthia E.

Thank you, Robert, for seeing my case through three and a half years of battles and rough roads. I have been amazed at your word crafting and professionalism. You continued through four lawyers representing the opposing party! Cathie was a wonderful, competent legal assistant. She listened, worked with me and saw me through a zillion emails and documents! Thank you to all the staff who travelled with me through these years. It’s sort of like leaving home!! Wishing you the best in the future!

Robert and Dilawar did a great job in representing me against my vindictive ex spouse. I was awarded primary care of my child, and they had all the inappropriate humiliating material removed from his affidavit.

They gave me good guidance and defended me against a man who is tried to get me fired from my job. Highly recommend. I will continue to work with these guys as needed.

Robert de Vries is not a good lawyer. He over charges, and more often than not seemed as though he was trying to sabotage my case and was working for my ex wife instead of me. He is ill prepared and sounds like an unconfident bumbling fool in the court room. He will forget key points. At one point I was editing my own Affidavits more than once until he got it right. To walk into his office is like stepping into the 80's with stained, torn cloth chairs. Robert de Vries did more harm than good. Don't waste your money like I did.

UPDATE:

I see Robert has a different reply than his first which slandered me and broke our confidentiality agreement. I still have a screenshot of it Robert 👍. my new council suggested i take legal action.

Robert and Dilawar are an exceptional pair of men. They are very professional. They helped out so much with my case and got me essentially everything I was looking for in my parenting order and child support order. Couldn’t be happier, 100% recommend using these fine men to help with any legal problems they can possibly assist with!! Thank you very much gentlemen, your work is greatly appreciate!!

HUGE thank you to Robert, Racheal and Lana. Staff are courteous, professional, and hard working. They were quick to help when I was in dire need for legal assistance concerning a protection order, a divorce, and advice on how to proceed with some rather difficult to navigate circumstances. Do not hesitate to reach out to this group for legal advice and representation.

one of the best offices I have ever dealt with. They took on my very complicated file and were very supportive throughout the years. Jen was an awesome assistant and they were always on top of things. I wouldn’t go anywhere else because they were so amazing. Even the other lawyers were always very kind and their support staff always made my visit pleasant.

Robert took on our case & had it fully resolved in less than one month. A previous lawyer had done virtually nothing in over six months. And at double the fee Robert charge.
Be prepared to be totally honest and work with Robert. You will be pleased.

Unbelievably unprofessional services. Cindy, their accountant is by far the rudest individual I talked to. She kept repeatedly cutting me off on the phone and deflecting from the fact that she failed to provide adequate information. The firm is considered probono, but charges equal to, if not more than other law firms. The services were lacking in both communication and time management. Highly would not recommend. Go to literally any other firm!

*Update**
Assuming the person taking the time to finally get around to addressing these reviews is either Robert, or his wife Cindy. I would like to say your response comes after a year or more of ignoring many of these issues, after your firm received a rather large volume of negative feedback.
With that being said, the review responses you're providing are subjective and hold no value. Of course you're going to suggest your service is extraordinary, that doesn't mean your bias is correct. And it should go without saying, that your inability to navigate these negative comments without snotty retorts and empathy speaks volumes to the lack of professionalism present at this firm. The owner, or otherwise, cannot with certainty make a claim suggesting SOMEONE else's experience, negative or otherwise, is not correct as they experienced it.

My review stands. I DID sign off on a pro bono contract, I DID experience some of the worst kind of service & professionalism. This does remain to be one of the worst law firms I have ever encountered. I sincerely hope instead of investing time in getting your two cents in with everyone that shares their experience, you instead invest in ways to change people's opinions.
