We had a great experience with using Norm and company for our mortgage. Norm went out of his way to make sure we understood everything. The other staff were very efficient in all matters and the purchase went without a hitch. I highly recommend them.

After much procrastination, and fear of the unknown, we reached out to Fedewich & Witt to do our Wills, Powers of Attorney, and to do a land transfer to add my spouse to the title of our home. I was happy to be able to do the initial meeting via Zoom online, from the comfort of my own home. They explained everything very clearly, answered our many questions, and put our minds at ease. Afterwards, they emailed draft documents for our review. When the documents were finished, we met in person to sign them. We are very happy and relieved it is all finally done and behind us, and are very thankful

We had very bad experience with this firm. With our recent purchase we chose Fedewich and Witt as our lawyer. We felt like we were not dealt fairly. We have had this firm our lawyer in the past and were very well known to the firm. We emailed Norman, whom we were dealing with and had bad experience, to the date we have not received an apology email from him. He did not show a sense of respect and responsibility towards us. It felt like all they cared about was their money. Will never go back to them and do not recommend them at all to our friends and family.

It has been a rewarding experience for our family working with F&W. Beginning in 2013, the office has professionally handled five (5) real estate transactions for us. Steps in each process of conveyancing were fully explained, accurately and swiftly dispatched. From reception to accounting, the office staff have been professional and cordial. Appointments are kept and office parking is free and convenient. My wife and I entrusted Trish with discussing and developing final wishes documents. This included our Power of Attorney and Power of Representation Agreements, as well as Last Will and Testament

Trish was fantastic helping my wife and I put together our Wills and Power of Attorneys. She explained everything very clearly giving us the peace of mind that having these documents should. Really nice staff and a very safe system during COVID. We felt safe the whole time and would recommend Fedewich and Witt to anyone who needs a great family run Notary.
