If you would like to give all your money to lawyers instead of splitting it between yourselves, then I recommend Valerie Little. Extremely combative with very poor communication skills with the other lawyer. Made absolutely no effort to find middle ground and forced everything into court, repeatedly. Cost our family all of our savings before she was finally fired and agreements could be reached. No matter how angry you are, do yourself a favour and find a less combative lawyer, they are there to help you reach fair agreements not promise to get you everything and fail to deliver anything.

I am very grateful for the care and expertise she has provided for my family. She is very professional but also caring. She can see people for who they are and will fight for the best interest of the child and/or family. She is very knowledgeable and has worked in the courts for many years so she knows what the best avenue is to take. Thank you Valerie

Ms. Little is a very down to earth, logical lawyer. She is a straight shooter, has many years of experience and tremendous insight in human behaviour. She gave me excellent candid advice and was approachable. She knew when to play nice and when to push a little more. And she was fair if I wanted to do something that may have been beyond her advise. She knows how the system works and has been in the same community for many years. When dealing with something where emotions run high, such as a divorce, it's good to have an experienced pragmatic realist in your corner. I have the utmost respect and appreciation for Ms. Little and her team.

after dealing with my ex who has Malignant Narcisistic personality disorder, I would say she is an expert in this field!! She was very effective in the courtroom, and was able to communicate to the judge this very complex and manipulative individual ending in us winning the case. Much to my exes surprise, the judge was able to see through all the lies! If you are dealing with this kind of individual I would highly recommend Valerie. She is now well versed in this disorder.

Valerie Little was excellent in leading me through this awkward and emotional process. Her knowledge of the law, in particular divorce proceedings, was exemplary. Valerie's communication ability was invaluable. Valerie broke down the legal jargon and explained the process to me in simple terms. I would highly recommend Valerie Little. I would also like to mention her assistant Donna. Each time we called Donna was very pleasant and informative. Donna never made us feel as it we were bothering her or that she was too busy to help us. Valerie and Donna are a great team!!!

I would highly recommend Valerie Little as an extremely effective attorney. My previous lawyer and my ex-spouse's lawyer were constantly engaged in countless applications in court that seemed to accomplish nothing but cost me thousands in legal fees. My case was going nowhere. Valerie was recommended to me as a lawyer with an excellent reputation among clients, lawyers and judges. So, I switched to her and was I glad I did! She immediately cut to the chase. She used her superior knowledge of divorce law, her reputation among judges and other lawyers and her formidable powers of persuasion to get my ex to agree to a quick settlement that got me all that I wanted and saved me thousands in legal fees. I am eternally grateful to Valerie for putting my failed marriage to rest and letting me get on with my life.

I give Valerie Little a heartfelt 10 out of 10 as a family litigator - extremely knowledgeable, tenacious and persuasive, while also reasonable and compassionate. At the hearing I was almost embarrassed for my ex's lawyer - what he said obviously struck the judge as unreasonable and untenable. When Ms. Little spoke to the judge he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He smiled and nodded and wrote a lot of notes. His reasons for judgment - which were almost entirely in my favor and gave me more than I had hoped for - seemed to repeat everything Ms. Little had argued. If you want a tough adversary on your side, you want Valerie Little! L.F., Coquitlam B.C.

Took me for every penny I had, and then some. Refused to cooperate for mediation and made things hostile between me and my ex. Brought things up in court which were "Without Prejudice" (at the time I didn't know what that meant, but I do now after a judge went up one side of me and down the other for using those details in an affidavit)Succeeded in making the JUDGE biased against me. retained her in November for $5000 after literally 3 minutes in a court room, a botched mediation hearing and no progress (outside my ex hating me) she told me at the end of December that my retainer was used and I owed her an addition $9000.00. Then told me that in order to start prepping for trial I would need an additional $20,000.00. DO NOT, under ANY circumstances, EVER hire Valerie Little... I had a chance encounter with another one of her clients three years after my experience with her, only to learn her experience was exactly the same.. and it cost her a fortune for NO results. needs to be fired

I made a huge mistake in going to Valerie Little! She & her legal staff made many mistakes, literally at my expense! There were 3 assistants in 2 yrs. VL was rude & condescending to them. She smirked & enjoyed the misery that she put my children in, faced with having to choose between their parents. Dragged it out, wouldn't get to court, no child support for me & wrote up countless bills. When I said I couldn't afford to drag it out any further, VL turned on me & threatened to charge me more if I filed a complaint against her. I recommended my X's lawyer to others & they had good & timely results. VL made snide comments about "opposing counsel" She's unprofessional, nasty & mean spirited. She obviously doesn't care about her clients or their families. If VL had done her job done, my X & I might have had a civil relationship following our divorce. VL obviously enjoys others' pain. VL is ineffective & inefficient. Run in the opposite direction! Do NOT use this poor excuse of a lawyer!

I wish I had checked out her rating before I had hired her. She didn't do anything for me, yet charged me an arm and a leg for nothing. She even tried to convince me to hire a private detective - a friend of hers she said. Glad I didn't go down that road. Stay away from this lawyer!! She shouldn't be practicing law. She's a total scammer!!!

Very unprofessional. Doesn't return phone calls or reply messages. Takes forever to get things done. Doesn't make sense that it would take over 5 years to finalize a case. Don't waste your time and money.
