After a horrible experience with my previous law firm for my corporation, PKF was able to fix all the problems and amend all the documentation messed up by the previous one. They are excellent to deal with, and they care about their clients. Undoubtfully recommended!

I've been working with Gary Sarcida and his team PFK Lawyers for quite some time now and I haven't been more impressed in the way they take care of their clients. I am beyond satisfied with all the work they have done for me. He is informative and always tells you how it is. No issues with communications, if not in a couple of hours he and his team will respond by the end of the day. I am happy with the outcome he and his team has accomplished for me. Thank you PKF Lawyers for always having your clients back! I really appreciate it!

My husband and I just had wills done up with Gary Sarcida. He was very professional and friendly and made the whole process simple and easy to understand. The price was also very reasonable. Highly recommend him!

0 communication (tried for literally 3 years) on an ongoing custody battle to communicate with my lawyer via phone calls, emails, text messages, and leaving messages with the secretary weekly. Was ignored the whole 3 years. To the point where my ex was freezing my bank accounts and licence. All for stuff I was trying to communicate with my lawyer through. In the few times we have went to court my lawyer brought 0 ideas to the table. Then after a few months trying to get a hold of him to discuss my upcoming court case he tells me to give up and give my ex what he wants and that he cant

I had a very stressful time when we bought our first ever home this year because of this firm. They processed our papers just a couple of days before our scheduled move in day even though all the necessary papers have been provided to them months before. The lawyer I had doesn't even know what was happening the whole time and kept promising us that everything is okay and will be on time when I keep on contacting them as our move in day approaches. I was even accused that he didn't know we are moving that day and I told them their office have been informed multiple times before about our move in
