Joy has prepared our wills, power of attorney, and personal directives in an efficient manner and at a reasonable price.

For the past 29 years(yes I counted). Joy has helped me with my divorce and separation agreement, a will and many real estates transactions. She was knowledgeable, friendly and gave prompt service. I felt she truly cared about doing good work and helping me through difficult times. She gave me very good legal advice. And unlike some places, her office is very relaxed and comfortable. I easily recommend both Joy and her staff to the extra mile for you.

I recently hired Joy Dukeshire to assist me in what was looking to be a cumbersome divorce with my husband of thirteen years; also involving three children. Initially I chose her office because it was nearby and convenient for me to get to as I worked in the area. Throughout the process the staff was knowledgeable and able to answer the multitude of questions I had regarding initiating the divorce on my end and what was involved in the process. The course eventually went to court and I feel she did a good job advocating for me and I am happy with the result. Thanks again!

I went through a 2.5 years separation/divorce process with Joy. Worst years of my life. Eventually I felt that she was working for my ex. She is only interested in the hours billed and doesn't really care of the outcome and how it would effect me for the rest of my life. I lost my home, all savings, all RRSP's and was left with a higher than normal support payment to my ex. I had to eventually go down to a few bags of clothes and was homeless for almost 2 years. I am able to rent a place now but I still do not have any saving/retirement/down payment for a home, etc. I agreed to the settlement to end my lawyer fees to prevent myself from committing suicide. If I met her again I would have a FU message for her.

My fiancee just completed a painful 2 and a half year long divorce. Joy was his lawyer. I don't know that I can a single good thing about her. Her communication was poor, she rarely intitiated follow up with the opposing lawyer unless pushed by us, she would sometimes take two weeks to respond to an email, we went through MULTIPLE unnecessary revisions of the separation agreement due to errors on her part, and I don't feel she advocated for my fiancee very well. He is paying an outstandingly high spousal amount which she concurred was 'fair'. Three separate times we were close to finalizing the agreement when Joy would remember something "we missed" - or she forgot to tell us. We ended up filing for a rush divorce judgement to get it done with. Would stay away. Paid thousands of dollars for terrible legal support. If you want an expeditious and fair/equal divorce, do not come here.

I have gone through and I still am going through a very rough divorce. Joy is very knowledgeable. She has been very helpful. Unfortunately due to high cost of my husband's disclosure postponements I have had to stop all work as I cannot afford costs associated. I am an emotional.person who has been hurt very badly by ex-husband. Due to sending numerous emails and trying to constantly keep Joy updated my bill just got too high. I fully believe she would have done her best for me had I had the money to continue. Unfortunately I am tapped out. Thank you Joy for all your hard work.

While purchasing our second home, Joy and her team took excellent care of me and my family. They made sure all the important details were dealt with and they were all quite pleasant to deal with.

I hired Joy to do a Will, Estate, Enduring Power of Attorney, as well as for Notary services throughout the years. She effectively communicated what all of these documents were and their importance to us and how they will protect our family in the case of tragedy. An excellent, knowledgeable woman in the fields of law in which she practices in.

Visited Joy to notarize a form. She was very unfriendly, and somewhat rude about a mistake I'd made on part of the form. I do not recommend Dukeshire for notary services.
