Report
Very unscrupulous law firm. My grandmother never used this law firm in her entire life and at 92 years old was brought into this law firm about her will & was not questioned about nor directed to her lawyer of record by Paul Cassan. It was found by a handwriting expert at the Canadian College of Kinesiology to 95% certainty that my grandmother's signature on the Affidavit prepared by Wishart, witnessed by Andrea Little, was not hers which allowed for the transfer of almost $500K to a new POA for which Paul Cassan and Little's legal fees were paid from. The monies were retrieved just recently thru
