excellent mediator, settled our difficult case that had been going on for two years in one day of mediation.

Lindsay is not only unprofessional idiot, she is a morally bankrupt corrupt criminal. She will push paper around, go missing for weeks and months, make intentional errors and draw out process to bill herself. Also be aware that her sister lawyer Krysta Ostwald is equally if not worse. STAY FAR AWAY from these small minded provincial losers.

Avoid her at all costs. She's sneaky, underhanded and forgets to serve other lawyers for court dates to get the upper hand.

Lindsay is a rare find in this profession. She is ethical and totally genuine. She doesn’t play games or rip anyone off. She’s very good at short, clear communication which can save huge dollars —beware long-winded lawyers! She is very careful with how much time she bills. I was cash-strapped and appreciated this. On the downside, she was so careful not to bill hours she didn’t put in the time to go over details and that had real drawbacks too. Get what you pay for. I did what I could to be clear about what I was willing to pay for and make the right calls. It was tricky and cost me in the long run. It also frustrated us both when details got missed. But overall, I really doubt I could’ve found a better lawyer. She was my 3rd lawyer after 2 nightmares and my ex started with a real lemon too. I wish I started with Lindsay in the first place.

Dumb and dumber. Stay away from this so-called lawyer! Also she pretends to support resolution without court but this is a lie. She makes everything explode.

Have called twice over the last 2 weeks leaving voice messages asking if they did legal aid. No response. Very telling as to the consideration a client would likely receive

She seems to know her stuffs. Her rate is very expensive though.

Lindsay and her team were extremely professional with my divorce process. They were very fast with responses/correspondence and knew what they were doing. While this was my first time hiring a lawyer for personal matters I believe her rates may have been on the higher end, but I suppose you get what you pay for.

If you are the person to receive child support, DO NOT intend to register with Child Support Recalculation Program. This program is designed to help payor avoid to pay proper child support amount. They allow the payor to use the year before last year income tax return to recalculate current year's child support. for example, in 2017, they could use 2015 income to calculate child support if the payor claimed not to receive 2016 NOA. And they only recalculate based on annual date of court orde. If your original order is granted in December, they will recalculate child support in December by using previous year's income. in this case, you will receive child support in 2018 based on payor's 2016 income. Payors will pay much less than the proper table amount. But if payors' income decrease, they can put application in court to reduce the amount immediately. Sucks.

Last year Lindsay completed a marriage agreement for me. She seemed extremely knowledgable in that subject area and caught some mistakes in an initial draft that I had brought in from another lawyer. She was very professional and walked me through each paragraph of the agreement thoroughly, making sure to explain any questions that I had. She protected my best interests but she was also fair and balanced. Although her hourly rate is probably high for many people, she is an experienced lawyer and I feel that it was worth it knowing that I have a solid agreement in place that will protect me in the future. Thank you Lindsay.

Third time is a charm! Before Lindsay I had 2 different lawyers represent me in my divorce. I was getting nowhere and spending thousands of dollars. When I switched to Lindsay, she kept my ex's lawyer in line, was professional despite his childishness, and I finally saw results. She also kept me up to date with my case, and answered emails just about any time of the day. Try to keep your emails with her to a minimum to save money, and focus on the end. Lindsay will help you get there.

Lindsay was excellent to work with going through my common-law separation. She faced a relatively unethical law firm handling my ex's side of things and her attention to detail was impeccable since she has moved to her new firm. The only portion of her firm that could be improved upon would be for the firm to have a BC qualified lawyer available as a lot of my generation have properties both in BC and Alberta. This makes it costly for us to have lawyers working in both provinces. She ALWAYS answered my e-mails quickly and was a wealth of information regarding a myriad of questions that I asked her. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a separation - be it a divorce or common law, as mine was.

It is clear that Lindsay has done her own reviews here to try and give herself a good rating. Please STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS LAWYER AND JONES LAW. Please don't make the same mistake I did and am almost bankrupt. They did NOTHING for me except bill me constantly. I was with them for 5 months and my bill was over &70,000 and we never went to court or even had questioning or met with OC. I am in the exact same position I was when I first retained them. I was so worried about my ex ripping me off, I never thought in a million years it would be my divorce lawyer. Lindsay will pass you off to her Lacky Emily Varga who hasn't a clue what she is doing and will just bill non stop too. I wish someone had warned me. It's bad enough to go through a divorce but to loose all your money to a firm like this is devastating. Please stay away. Do your DD. I didn't clearly and will be paying the rest of my life. I will be reporting them!! STAY AWAY

I retained Lindsay to draft a last minute prenuptial agreement. She was very accommodating to my impending deadline and we were able to quickly and efficiently execute the agreement in a timely manner. I felt that she really had my best interests with the legal advice she provided me. I've recommended Lindsay to a couple of people and I will continue to do so!

Lindsay was professional, knowledgable and respectful. In spite of an office move during my proceedings, she remained on top of the case and didn't drop the ball. She ensured that matters were tied up in the least amount of time and at a price I could afford. Highly recommended.

I am very happy to recommend Lindsay Ewens-Jones, and as it happens, I have. Lindsay’s approach and demeanour during our initial meeting put me instantly at ease and provided me the confidence I needed to move forward. She explained the process clearly, and provided me with information and options I didn’t know I had. While my situation was fairly amicable, she ensured my best interests were always kept in mind. I felt I had the best representation possible, and had the best possible settlement. She made a difficult process easier to deal with.

Lindsay was very knowledgeable handling all aspects of my divorce. Communication could have been better as I would have liked to have been kept more informed regarding the opposing counsel correspondence. I felt that Lindsay had my best interests in mind at all times, just wish things could have moved quicker. This was my first experience utilizing a lawyer for divorce and felt that the charges were higher then expected for this type of proceeding.

I was very pleased with the work that Lindsay did for me. She was to the point, knowledgeable, and readily available to answer my questions. She and her staff were able to work with some very tight timelines and answer some very hard questions for me. What I appreciated the most about Lindsay was her desire to get my divorce proceedings done as quickly, as painlessly, and as financially responsibly as possible. She did not prolong proceedings, and did not promise things that she could not deliver. She was blunt with what I could and could not get, even when that bluntness was painful and worked against me because of the law, so that I knew exactly what I was going into and what I was dealing with before I made any decisions. I do not live in Calgary, so much of the work had to be done remotely. She was willing to help me and work with me even when I was 200km away. I would highly recommend Lindsay for anyone who needs legal assistance in the area of Family Law.

I would certainly recommend Lindsay for many reasons. Her knowledge of the law, and ability to apply it to my situation was exceptional. Her tenacity in obtaining communications from a reluctant opposing council expedited the process, and I am sure saved me time and money. Lindsay was always available, dependable and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Moreover, Lindsay was easy to talk to and took the time to understand my rather unique situation. Her assistant, Manpreet was very prompt with paperwork and clear with financial matters.

I would highly recommend Lindsay. She is professional and thorough. Lindsay looked out for my interests, and was an advocate of working things through with my ex as much as possible, as opposed to complete lawyer control over the process. Mediation was recommended and this proved to be a success in terms of settlement negotiation. Lindsay moved the process along as quickly as possible. She was a pleasure to deal with during a very trying and stressful time in my life. Rob L.

Lindsay was my third lawyer, and by far the best. She took the time to understood my situation and was strategic in her approach every step of the way. She really knows the law and always explained clearly my options. More importantly, at a pivotal point in my situation, Lindsay fought hard for my interests as if they were her own and got it done. Her assistant Manpreet is also fantastic. Thank you Lindsay for accomplishing the impossible.

Lindsay was excellent to deal with. She was very honest and straightforward in all our communications and was always responsive and able to provide the information I needed. In my negotiations with my ex Lindsay provided support but was most interested in letting us come to an equitable and fair resolution and most important - keeping it cost effective and out of court. Lindsay was very open and approachable about every question and scenario and her demeanor made it easy to know that she had my best interests in mind in all our dealings. I have recommended Lindsay to my other friends that have needed a lawyer as she provided my great service, compassion and speediness to get through my divorce. EXCELLENT and TOP NOTCH - she came highly recommended to me and I would pass on the same high recommendation!

Lyndsey is a wonderful person. She is a very busy lawyer and at times I felt I needed more guidance on where to go and what to do with divorce options and writing a separation agreement. Other than that she had a great knowledge base on the whole.

I found her to be very arugementative and does not represent in your best interest. You need to record your conversation with her as it somehow gets misconstrued and your back aruging 'who said what'. You need to be extremely clear on your instructions and intent with her, so it could get executed correctly.
