I had an excellent experience working with Atty. Jessette Apao to prepare my Wills. A fellow filipino, proud Bisaya and MSUan. It was easy especially when it comes to language and legal lingo - nothing was lost in translation as she speaks the same language - very important for me. From the very beginning, she was professional but friendly and never intimidating, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. She took the time to clearly explain every step of the process, making something that initially felt overwhelming much more manageable and straightforward. What I appreciated most was her attention to detail and genuine care in ensuring that my wishes were accurately reflected. She asked thoughtful questions, offered sound advice, and made sure I fully understood my options before making any decisions. The entire process was efficient, well-organized, and handled with the utmost professionalism. I left feeling confident and reassured knowing that everything was properly in place. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and competent lawyer for estate planning.
Very professional and was to deal with billal answered all my questions!
Atty. Jessette Apao was the best lawyer to go too. She is the most accommodating and sympathetic lawyer I’ve known. I’ll recommend her specially among 17 lawyers in this firm. Thank you Atty. Jessette Apao for the opportunity to experience this amazing experience. All the best ❤️❤️❤️
I wanted to take a moment to thank Lawyer Hoyne Santa-Balazs properly. I truly believe your dedication to securing the best outcome for me is the reason we had such a positive result. I am deeply grateful for the care you brought to my case. Thank you for helping me through this tough time and for giving me peace of mind moving forward.
Very efficient and communicative when it came to the sale of our property. Highly recommend this firm/services.
I had a very positive experience with Jessette Apao. Her service was incredibly thorough, professional, and kind from beginning to end. I was in a very urgent situation and needed my documents notarized as soon as possible. The nearest other appointment I could find was not until April 7, so as soon as I received Jessette’s call saying she could help, I went over immediately. The entire process was very efficient and smooth. She helped me notarize my medical report, proof of funds, and doctor’s letter all in one visit, which was a huge relief. Jessette is an excellent notary. She was detail-oriented, responsive, and made the whole process feel easy and well organized. I also really appreciated her warm attitude that she even wished me success in my new job, which made the experience feel especially thoughtful and personal. Overall, it was a truly wonderful service experience. If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would, but unfortunately Google only allows five 😆
I had such a wonderful experience at Edmonton Law Office today when I went in to have my Special Power of Attorney notarized. Atty. Jessette Apao assisted us, and I truly felt at ease the entire time because of how kind, patient, and knowledgeable she was. She took the time to clearly explain everything, especially the process of having my SPA apostilled in Alberta, which I really appreciated. What made the experience even more special for me was finding out that she is also from the Philippines. It felt so comforting to speak in a way that was natural to me, and it made the whole process feel less stressful and more personal. I also want to mention the receptionist, who was very warm and accommodating from the moment we arrived. Overall, I left feeling very satisfied and grateful for the excellent service. I would definitely recommend Edmonton Law Office to anyone looking for reliable and genuinely caring legal assistance.
Atty. Jessette Apao is very professional and easy to work with. She is knowledgeable, responsive, and reliable. Highly recommended!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an excellent experience working with Attorney Jessette Apao, and I highly recommend her services. She helped me prepare a Power of Attorney that I needed for the Philippines. She made the whole process very smooth and stress-free, and she made sure that I had the correct document for the purpose I intended. She treated my case with great care and professionalism. What really makes her stand out is her character. She is very knowledgeable on her field but very polite, patient, humble, and easy to talk to. She explains things clearly and makes you feel comfortable asking questions. For people like me whose first language is not English, this means a lot. Her fees are very reasonable, but the quality of service she provides is truly outstanding. I was even more impressed when she followed up with me after everything was completed just to make sure everything was okay. It is rare to find a lawyer who is not only very professional and knowledgeable, but also kind, respectful, and genuinely cares about helping people. I strongly recommend her to anyone who needs legal services in Canada, especially to fellow Filipinos and other members of minority communities who are looking for a lawyer they can trust.
Devinder Bath provided outstanding representation throughout my refugee claim, including my RPD hearing on March 16, 2026. He successfully transferred my file from Ottawa to Edmonton, improving processing time, and guided my case with expertise, delivering excellent legal submissions. His advice significantly strengthened my preparation and was positively acknowledged by the Honourable Member during the hearing. He was consistently responsive, professional, and effective in all communications. I am fully satisfied and highly recommend him without reservation

I had an excellent experience working with Jessette Apao on a complicated estate matter!

She guided us clearly through the legal process and was able to accomplish in three months what had been stalled for three years. Throughout the process, Jessette was professional, responsive, and an excellent communicator. She kept us informed, answered questions promptly, and made sure we understood each step along the way.

I wish to express heartfelt thanks to Atty. Gessete Apao for being our homeowner attorney. Your remarkable expertise, combined with your humour and intelligence, makes you one of the most skilled lawyers I've encountered in Canada. You've made significant contributions to processing my documents. More power to you and your team. Blessed you more.
The Edmonton Law Office was phenomenal in assisting me in a case that seemed impossible as I was served on extremely short notice with only a few days to reply. My original lawyer dropped me and I had to urgently find a new one. Jessi Dhanju exceeding my expectations, he is a magician and gave me hope when I thought all hope was lost. Thank you so much!! Jessi is also kind, understanding, to the point, and upfront about potential costs and unlike other lawyers did not want to charge me continuously his services but rather 'find a way out' of the legal proceedings and costs associated. Their office is also incredibly clean, aesthetically appealing, and their office staff were efficient and kind. I was so grateful they responded to my urgent need and ended in an extremely positive outcome, avoiding court in family matters. Highly recommend!
Edmonton Law Office was amazing with my real estate deal. They were extremely helpful and made it easy for me.The closure date was changed to a much earlier date but they got everything done on time and would recommend them to anyone who wants to sell their house without using a realtor Thanks to Melonia and the team at Edmonton Law Office
I appreciate all the information provided and how quickly and smoothly everything went. Thanks to Melonie and Belal for all their help. I would definitely recommend them for any real estate transactions.
I needed to engage a law firm to correct some issues with a power of attorney and will. After chatting with a few options, I went with Jessette Apao - initially because of her ability to satisfy my requirements of a quick turn around time and a home visit. I'm happy that I did - I was able to work with her to quickly arrange for a home visit (over a weekend, mind you), get drafts completed and finalize the paperwork in an expedited timeline, all at a competitive price (when you factor in the home visit over a weekend). Throughout the process, Jessette was professional and fast to respond, demonstrated expertise in the completion of the Power of Attorney and Will, and left us very comfortable and well-supported throughout our journey. Thank you Jessette and team for making this a smooth process.
