Has Alex Cordova, been miss led by two devious and deceitful estate executors , I am a life tenant / but faced with family who have a disregard to personal safety,, that is not a lawyers fault........
Sophie was my lawyer in a high conflict custody case. She did not have much time for back and forth irrelevant emails or calls, which has pros and cons. I have utmost respect for her keeping the costs pretty low!
Had to take my last review done due to Legal Intimidation. Unfortunately I’ve had to deal with Alex Condova in which other party hired. I’m a Beneficiary & my concerns over the misuse of my sons Estate has only seen my funds for funeral expenses been held on me, bills not paid & just down right rudeness, no respect for the grieving family or no Empathy at all. It’s been a total nightmare dealing with this firm. Highly recommend others if dealing with an Estate.
I initially made contact with Maddison (PA) in regard to a boundary fence dispute I was tolerating, Maddison promptly acted, and I was soon in discussion with Andrew Isle (Partner) about my boundary issues. As a Veteran, Andrew acknowledged that this matter had a profound effect upon my PTSD acted genuinely to alleviate any stress by offering sound advice and counsel. On my behalf Andrew drafted a letter of demand detailing the path for resolution. The letter was delivered and the problem resolved with minimal fuss which required no further action by myself. In any matter of civil dispute, I cannot encourage or recommend any more highly that you reach out to Andrew and Maddison at Butler McIntyre and Butler.
Lucy M. was my solicitor for buying my first home, and she was amazing! What felt daunting and super overwhelming at first ended up being smooth and stress free, thanks to her! Lucy was kind, easy to talk to, and knew exactly what she was doing. She was able to answer any question we had and really talked us through every process in ways that were so clear. Can't recommend her enough. Butler m and butler is lucky to have her!
I saw Kim Baumeler on a TV program so I trusted her. she was instructed to compare my objections to the Supreme court's remark and prepare an appeal in High Court. she dismissed all the chances. later Supreme court informed me that the copies sent to Baumeler were not containing the grounds of the Original Appeal. Thus it was impossible for her to compare my objections with the court's remark. To make sure I am not mistaking I emailed her and asked if she had read my grounds. she confirmed in details that she did. when I confronted her she refused to pay me back. I lost $20,000. I deeply regret hiring/trusting her.
Caitlin at Butler McIntyre Lawyers helped my family and i achieve our goal of acquiring a business. Caitlin was helpful, informative and easy to work with. She was always striving to achieve the best outcome for us. I highly recommend Caitlin and her team for any legal advice and assistance. Huge thank you to Caitlin! She's an absolute asset to the team.
