Hands down, without a doubt, I would have Claire represent me again. But we're not going there. One divorce is enough. I digress... Claire is fiercely brilliant and relentlessly confident. Claire knows her business and she knows it well. After meeting Claire for the first time, I knew she was the lawyer I needed. Claire is FULL, FRANK, and FAIR. Claire is organized and her expectations are candid.
If you're looking for a lawyer perfectly invested in divorce and family law, Claire is the lawyer for you. While I sincerely hope to never require Claire's services again, I wouldn't have anyone else

We drafted our will with Emery Jamieson LLP and I was very pleased with the process and result. We had some particular requests that our lawyers, Ms. Fuhrer and Ms. Zimmer, managed to make work. I feel like our wills were thoroughly put together. I would highly recommend this firm for will services.

Adam Persi helped us immensely with his expertise. Ensuring we understood all the legalities while setting up our corporate structure for both today and future growth, he helped put my mind at ease every step of the way. I highly recommend every small business owner reach out to Adam and see how he can help you too.

I recently contacted Emery Jamieson and spoke with Terence about some potential legal issues my business was facing and he was incredibly helpful. He took the time to understand the situation and offer detailed advice on the best way to go forward despite me not having any prior appointments. I'll definitely contact them again if/when the time comes I do need to pursue legal action in my business. Would recommend this firm based on this experience. :)
