She cant even handle the simplest of cases, once she gets money from you she will go MIA and won't return emails or calls. Being a divorce/family law lawyer communication and follow up are key but she will leave you hanging and provide no update whatsoever. Any other lawyer in the city would be a better choice than her. I am not sure how she is still active as a lawyer with the number of complaints she has gotten against her. I urge anyone who has been let down by her to get in contact with the Law Society of Alberta and file a formal complaint. A quick google search will see that she has a long history of neglecting her clients. Hopefully this warning saves other people of going through the same thing.

Laurie has been a family acquaintance for years so I innately trusted her with my legal case; man that was a mistake. I wish I saw this site before hiring her. She has been MIA for months, not answering calls or emails. Unreachable ahead of the holiday season, and as a result I didn't have the court order I needed to enforce my time with my daughter Christmas morning. My case has been dragging on for a year with next to nothing to show, I think she just 'wings it' the day-of because she doesn't get to know my concerns or the specifics ahead of time. I might be the last adult client she represents, as she is semi-retiring now and my case is suffering for it.

I have been dealing with Laurie Hnatiuk since 2007 for a simple open and closed divorce. I still do not have my divorce papers as she disappears off the grid for a year or two and then surprise I get an email out of the blue with an update. Shes seems like a nice lady with good intentions, however her professionalism regarding communicating with her client is seriously lacking and should be investigated by the bar. I do not and would not recommend this lawyer. I thank all the others that have posted comments (there very similar and there is a true visible trend), I was asking myself if it was just me...seems like I am not alone with the level of frustration and grief this lady has caused to me and to others.

Absolutely the worst lawyer I've encountered. Refused to understand my case, would not return calls, made stuff up, would not communicate and as a result she harmed my situation irrevocably. Not sure how ANYONE could rate her a 5. My guess is they misunderstood the rating system?

I would not recommend hiring this lawyer. I went through Legal Aid and had little knowledge of her. After a year of trying to get in touch with her, I terminated her...she took that very poorly. Do not waste your time, money and energy. Her office almost speaks for itself and that should be an indication. Again I stress do not utilize her services.

Hired her through legal aid on a very urgent matter - she did not return any calls for 2 months and finally I went into her office and demanded my file and fired her. She has complete disregard for her clients.

Laurie is good, she is the one who helped me to deal with the EPO case that I have been served with no sense. At the last court, she is very professional, active and intelligent, and gave me lots of help to fight back. Technically I won the case. Anyhow, I really appreciate Laurie's help, without her, I cannot even make it.

I had a bad experience with Laurie. She states things to the judges without any proof they ever happened and the judges usually bang their gavel while you are dumbfounded by her outright lies. Don't defend someone with lies because you don't know what is happening with them.

My family has been dealing with her since 2007 on an estate matter and its still not resolved largely owing to her refusal to return phone calls. I hired my own lawyer to deal with her and the public trustee has been involved all with the same results. The paperwork has been sloppy all around except for making sure she has gotten her fee out of the estate. This mattered was settled in court 2 yrs ago and still the children's trust accounts have not gotten money. That is interest and availability they can never get back.

Found this lawyer more harmful than good. This is the 2nd legal aid lawyer that has proved to be far more harmful than good. Have to wonder if Legal Aid doesn't have a hidden mandate.
