My 88-year old father's will and power-of-attorney needed updating and Ross was a pleasure to deal with. He was personable, sensitive and expeditious. What could have been an arduous and stressful exercise was instead simple and efficient. Many thanks!

Stay away. Weirdly these people make you believe that the taxes are not included anymore when you buy a property and when you decide to retract from the sale for that reason they change their mind and says it's a mistake in their papers. They tried that on many people. And seems like an agent is always part of that thing that looks very much like a scam along with the lawyers. Be aware.

Worked with Gord and Lorrie. They were really pleasant to work with. Very helpful and professional staff. I was late to my appointment and they accommodated me nicely! Legal explanations were made in simple terms and service was prompt without any delays. Highly recommend AVS Law.

Tristan and the staff at AVS law were extremely professional, caring, and thorough in the work they completed. What could have been a very daunting task for me ended up being clear and organized and I felt very supported. Thanks

Very disappointed with Chad Schaan. Information at the initial consultation was misleading. This resulted in a delay in our payment from the house sale. When I asked him to send me a document by email he told me he was out out town - maybe next week. He neglected to mention that the next week he would be away from the office. My overall feeling was that our family's case was not a priority. Didn't seem to make much effort to respond to our needs. Questionable ethics and integrity.
