Thank you so much for your help in my matter. You were helpful and quick to learn the details when you took over for another lawyer. Tom was kind and helpful in making it easy to understand what was going on and he went to bat for me ensuring I had a positive outcome . After it was all said and done he went through the details and some suggestions of how to deal with everything.

We used Hamilton Cahoon for the sale of our house in Alberta and the service was outstanding. Our sale transaction was quite unique, as we had already moved across the country before the sale of the house was actually completed. Through multiple phone calls, text messages, emails and video calls, Tom was exceptional when an offer was finally accepted. With a quick possession date, timelines crunched and several time zones difference, Tom was available outside of normal working hours and always ensured all our needs were properly met. Additionally, Tom assisted us in the purchase of our new house
