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.
I am so happy that I found the Edmonton Law Office in FB. Jessette Apao's picture is on the FB post so I decided to give their law firm a try. Jessette called me the same day and I immediately felt at ease. Even during the first meeting, she answered my questions in a way that I will understand. Her knowledge, experience and expertise were re-assuring. Even on the day when I came to sign the documents, she patiently answered new questions that came up. I have started to tell my family and friends to go get their estate planning done with Jessette Apao of the Edmonton Law Office. Highly recommended.
I had an urgent Chambers family court matter where my 11 month old child was taken by force from me and I was in total panic, calling law office after law office being told they couldn't take me on as a client due to the lack of time offerd. After calling the edmonton law office they offered me an immediate consultation with Gurpreet S. Bains, not only did he help me with the entire legal process, but he actually cared about my case. There is no other lawyer i would put my trust in as gurpreet has stood by my side the entire time making the legal process incredibly easy and straight forward. As much as I dread ever going back to family court, I am confident in my lawyer as he has built a bridge for me back into my to daughter's life. Gurpreet, my entire family thanks you for everything! -Twain.
Really grateful for the help and support I received. Attorney Jessette Apao was professional, patient and explained everything clearly. Communication was great and I highly recommend.Huge thanks to You Attorney Jessette Apao!!
Jessi was incredibly professional throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain my options and ultimately took my case to a favourable result
I had the pleasure of working with Jessette Apao regarding a power of attorney that was needed for my sick father. Honestly I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her expertise in this area was very clear from the start, she explained every step thoroughly and ensured we fully understood the legal aspects involved. My dad is a stroke patient and our family was understandably overwhelmed, but Jessette handled the situation with incredible patience, compassion, and professionalism. She took the time to explain everything clearly to both of them, making sure they felt comfortable and confident before proceeding with any decisions or signing documents. Her service was of exceptional quality. She was organized, professional, and very attentive throughout the entire process. Communication was excellent, she was always willing to answer questions without making us feel rushed. Most importantly, we felt completely supported during our meeting and the signing process. Jessette created a calm and reassuring environment, which made what could have been a stressful experience feel so much better. We are very grateful for her care and expertise! Thank you for making what felt like a very stressful time- a bit easier.
I highly recommend Ayana McAdam at Edmonton Law Office. Ayana provided outstanding service supporting our family through a dog attack situation at our dog daycare. Ayana consistently demonstrated professionalism, clear communication, strong advocacy and genuine care. The outcome was very positive, and we felt supported every step of the way. Highly recommend.
Susan Lee just helped me prepare a cohabitation agreement/pre-nup. She was very patient with answering all my questions and was knowledgeable and experienced. Susan helped me feel comfortable that doing this was the right choice for me and I have more peace of mind knowing I have a proper legal agreement in place. She was able to get the document prepared quickly so my partner and I were able to sign it and are happy to be getting back to the more fun parts of wedding. Update: I also wanted some help with getting estate planning documents in order and Jessette Apao was awesome. It was my first time making this kinds of documents and she was very good at explaining what everything was for and I felt comfortable asking any questions I had. Estate planning can be a bit hard to think about and it isn't something my parents ever really talked to me about so I've always been worried that I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to things like this. Jessette helped me feel at ease and get these important documents prepared and I am grateful for her kindness and expertise.
Had my prenup written up here, everything went super smooth and got done quickly! Thanks again belal
Had a great experience with Jessette Apao,, who is well versed in dealing with estates and the courts. Was very comfortable with her and she made me feel comfortable with the whole legal process. Very quick and easy to understand. I enjoyed working with her and would definitely recommend her.
I had a consultation with Jessi Dhanju and found him to be professional, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. He took the time to listen to my situation, explained my options clearly, and answered my questions without rushing. I left the consultation feeling informed about next steps. I would recommend him for anyone seeking legal advice.
Belal and Melonia handled the conveyancing of a property sale for my parents. They were exceptional - very responsive, patient, thorough, and their process was straightforward and efficiently executed. Highly recommended.
We had the privilege to be assisted by Jessie Apao with our Will, PD and EPA needs. She is very knowledgeable and gave us lots of information/insights. She explained all the details thoroughly and was very accommodating. My husband has a very limited time availability due to his work hours, and she managed to work with us and accommodated us willingly. We highly recommend her; her service and professionalism really stand out. We could not thank her enough!
My husband and I had recently acquired our PD and EPOA with the guidance of Atty.Jessette Apao.With her thorough explanation,patience, and supporting our quiries in our level of understanding we were able to fully acquired knowledge for the legal purpose of this documents which isvery important here in Canada.I highly recommend Jessette.She has this way of making you quite comfortable even if you just met her.Approachable ,accommodating and you wont hesitate to ask as many questions as you have just so you will understand at your best.
I called this firm,and after two days i got to meet Atty. Jessette Apao. Knowledgeable,responsive,and very professional. She answered all my questions expertly and thoroughly. She is straight to the point but with empathy. Thanks so much Atty. Jessette!!!
This law firm is so professional and charges decent amount. I acknowledge Atty. Jessette Apao who helps us do the Apostille documentation for a SPA for Philippines. She also is so helpful and very professional and accomodating. Thanks for setting up and meeting us for a brief schedule even in your busy time.
3 years ago, I found the office online. I retained Vivian Anyi as my attorney. Today we parted ways... as her job was complete. A successful divorce for me.
I was referred to them by a coworker. Even though I contacted them on short notice, they were polite and quick to get everything done.
Belal and he’s team were great when helping us through the purchase of our home
I retained Jessi Dhanju just 5 days before my court hearing. I tried self representing but figured i’m better represented. I filed for parenting, child support, and exclusive possession of home. I am from Grande Prairie and distance never became an issue. He was very attentive to everything I say and he even brought up points that I would not have thought of. He was so easy to work with and very straightforward, even with his charges. It only took us one hearing to get all of it resolved. And we won! Definitely recommend him for family law matters.
Am glad to say a big thank you to Barrister Vivian who helped me go through every step of my divorce process. She is one of a kind and a great lawyer.
Recieved a callback to an online inquiry I made regarding some will/estate questions I had. The conversation was extremely helpful to me and my situation. Jessette Apao allowed me to fire questions towards her about my situation. I believe she answered them honestly and with grace. The callback was recieved on Monday. My online inquiry was Sunday. Friggin awesome.
Jessette Apoa is an outstanding Lawyer. She is a gift from God to help me in this stressful time in our lives. I mentioned to my two daughters that I had found a compassionate, knowledgeable, patient, and caring Lawyer. Both daughters were pleased to know that they have Jessette Apoa in the time of need. You have educated me in a way that I know I can move forward in the future with Jessette Apoa's help. Thank-you for being in our lives.
Gurpreet Singh Bains was extremely reasonable with his fees and honoured that our separation was amicable. He did not encourage extra conflict with the divorce process in order to make more money, as is often the case with family lawyers. This is a law firm that Krzysztof and I would use for any and all legal matters in the future.
