The experience I had (beginning to end) was outstanding. Amy Johnson and her team were my beacon light through my situation. She explained the process in detail including what my options were and always showed compassionate empathy. I am eternally grateful for Ms. Johnson's service (and her team) and I highly recommend Howie Johnson Barristers & Solicitors without reservation.

Amy answered all my phone calls and email in a very timely manner. She was very profession and honest with me about what I could expect going through the divorce process. I had another lawyer before her and it was 100% the opposite. They also do check in's with you to make sure you're satisified with what's happened with your case and there is an administrative assitant that you can also contact with questions so you're not being charge the lawers rate for simple corespondane. I would highly reccomend Amy Johnson and this law firm.
