Brahn thinks that if you hire him as a mediator that he should tell you what you want and need. He is arrogant and pretentious. He really has no right to be a mediator. He should stick to arguing cases as a lawyer and not even try to be a neutral. He is so not neutral. He forms an opinion on a mediation case and then tells everyone what the conclusion should be. I should have never hired him as a mediator. It was a waste of my time and money.

Brahm was an absolute nightmare as a mediator. Firstly, he doesn't listen. He only talks. He tells you how things will end. He refuses to be balanced. He thinks 'he knows best.' Mediation is an opportunity to dialogue, share and make compromises. The Mediator is supposed to facilitate that. The very opposite occurred. He caused greater cost, division and polarization. Brahm has no business being a Mediator.

After firing my previous lawyer for not having the competency to handle my divorce in the context of some complex financial situations, I found Brahm through great ratings on this site. He did not disappoint. Brahm’s handling of my case was efficient, no nonsense, annd extremely competent. Brahm was able to navigate through the multiple processes in valuing my corporations and coming up with the right specialists to help arrange a workable agreement that comprehensively addressed the needs of my children and push the other side to settle with a fair agreement, even though, the counterpart had a horrible and sloppy lawyer. Brahm is a meticulous and detail oriented person, which along with his sharp wit, is a good combination to have had on my side. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Brahm Siegel represented me in a challenging post-separation issue. He masterfully handled the legal and personality issues at hand. Here's what I learned: you can find lawyers who have lower hourly rates, but you will end up wasting more time and money. Brahm was sensitive to the financial impact and was very efficient. I have and will continue to recommend Brahm to my closest friends.

There are so many great things to say about Brahm. He is a smart, empathetic lawyer that gets straight to the point. I found his main concern was to help me achieve my goal (to divorce my husband) and to ensure assets were split fairly. He is sharp and I'm glad I had him in my corner. I found that him and his team answered my emails quickly and they accounted for every dollar I was charged. I would recommend his services to anyone in need of a knowledgeable divorce lawyer who puts his clients first. Thank you Brahm!

Brahm was amazing with my separation. He was able to get things moving forward as quickly as the situation would allow. He knows the law very well, is professional and cuts through BS quickly, which I appreciated. He understands how expensive things can get and is mindful not to waste time. He is punctual and replies to emails in a very timely manner. He went above and beyond to meet a tight timeline for me. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Brahm is an excellent family lawyer. He was referred to me by my business lawyer. He focuses on the facts and being efficient. He's also practical and has great advise.
I was able to get 50/50 parenting schedule for my 3 kids without going to court. I don't know how possible this would have been without Brahm.
I highly recommend Brahm for anyone looking for a great family lawyer and trying to stay out of court. Especially for fathers looking to be in their children's lives and facing obstacles.

Very surprised and disappointed. Not at all what I expected before working with him. Mr. Siegel was clearly biased for one party. He completely ignored important evidence and facts that supported the opposite position. He even admitted he had not read all of the material in preparation for the session with him. When met with polite disagreement, he was abrasive, bombastic and frankly rude. I would never recommend him to anyone given the way he conducted himself. Total shock especially considering his reputation.

Brahm took a very hard situation and helped me navigate unchartered territories with honesty and my best interest at the centre of every interaction and new situation that arose. Brahm is mindful of the emotional and resource pain one can encounter during this experience and is approachable and supportive on both fronts. No one wants to go through this, but if you're going to go through hell, it's best to get someone who knows the law, has a strong stance and is honest along the way - Brham is that lawyer!!!

Brahm came highly recommended by a retired family lawyer that was a friend of the family. In all areas of the process, Brahm was professional and had my best interests in mind. He also respects how expensive this process can be and he does not waste your money. My separation agreement was executed in less than 3 months and I was always informed of what the legal terms actually meant. I had no surprises thought the process and was always prepared for what was coming next. As much as I would never wish the all the challenges that naturally come with a divorce on anyone, Brahm is definitely the lawyer you want on your side. Everyone I know that has been through this shared their horror stories with me and I have to admit that my experience was smooth, simple, accommodating and much less stressful because of Brahm - even with my spouse trying to make things difficult. My new life after divorce has begun and I feel like I’m 10 years younger! I genuinely want to say thank you Brahm!

I am happy to strongly recommend Brahm. He had a highly effective strategy in getting my separation agreement done. He was brought in to restart a stalled negotiation, and made an immediate impact. He and I worked together as a very effective team, which made me feel more confident and empowered through the process, but he clearly had a strong hand on the wheel. Well done, Brahm. And thank you. I recommend him without hesitation.

Brahm Siegel was my mediator in my divorce. From my first interaction with him, he put my mind at ease with his calming nature and walked me through the steps of the mediation process. Unlike other mediators who would typically just have a first meeting which would include the cost of lawyers too, he recommends each party meet with him individually for 45 minutes, allowing both parties to relay their side of events which lead to the marriage ending. This allows him to not only get to know the parties account, but also for him to get to know the parties and familiarize them with the office, location, process etc. I found his team during the mediation extremely courteous and the actual mediation to be as efficient as possible. I was almost certain, I would have to go to arbitration in order to come to a resolution, however, Mr. Siegel in his fair mediation, were able to bring both parties to an agreement before mid-day. Simply AMAZING!

Brahm assisted my mother with her divorce after another lawyer failed to make progress in her case. We spent over a year with the previous lawyer, and made little progress. Once we retained Brahm, my mother's divorce began to move forward very quickly. Brahm is very knowledgeable and well connected. He gave great advice on how to come to a quick and fair resolution, and always advised on the most cost effective way to move forward. We never felt like he was wasting our money, as we did with the previous lawyer. We wish that we had gone to him first. During the entire process, Brahm was very easy to get a hold of, via e-mail or telephone, and answered all of our questions and concerns very quickly. I would highly recommend Brahm if you need a lawyer for divorce or family law, and can't thank him enough for helping my mom.

We have worked with Brahm for 12 years and have found him to be knowledgeable and thorough. We are a same sex couple with co-parents that were very difficult. Brahm was very good at helping us work in a system that isn't designed for us. When he didn't know the answers specific to us (LGBT and the law) he used his resources and network to find them. Thanks Brahm!

Going through divorce is never easy and it's also the unknown of what can happen. I interviewed 3 lawyers before meeting Brahm and it was after meeting him that I retained him. He is more than knowledgeable, compassionate and ultimately fair, which put me at ease because I just wanted to move on in my life. All the things that he said could or would happen, ultimately did. When we had our first meeting with my soon to be EX and her lawyer, it was a lopsided meeting with me actually feeling sorry for her. Brahm came across with references, statistics and compassion not only for me but my ex as well. He made sure that our son was the focus and that both sides at the end of this, would be able to have an amicable separation. Not every situation or divorce/ separation is or will be like mine but if you want someone who has your best interests at heart, I can't recommend anyone else who will put your mind at ease.

Braham's work ethic and integrity are are beyond impressive. He's a man who is truly invested in his work and the clients he represents. He is very clear and concise with his time and advice while also taking the time to provide insight and understanding to the process, my choices, and the pros and cons of each direction when necessary. I felt very educated and empowered in the case which he represented me and that my time with him was used optimally as he guided me to stay focused on strategy so he could do his job most effectively. I bow in respect for the services he offers his community.

He took my case Sept 19,2014, finished it December 8, 2014. I only met with twice. Gets, right to the point, honest, caring, and takes no ----,knowledgeable. Not like my previous lawyer, who took 2 1/2 yrs. to figure my case. He knew how to make it work. My hat off to Mr. Siegel. BRAVO!!

My experience with Brahm is nothing short of a nightmare. When one choosing arbitration, it is to expedite the process. My marriage of short duration without any extra ordinary circumstances was dragged through 20 days over a 2 year period costing in the hundreds of thousands. As it is a private arbitration, only the involved people know that this scam artist is capable of such disregard for the law and in no way serve justice in a true arbitrators fashion. Brahm had no interest is expediting the process but rather filling his pockets with monotonous testimony and rhetoric. Shame on you Brahm. Others should be warned of your unethical and immoral practice. I hope that the ever growing list of past clients continue to expose your sham.

I highly rate Brahm Siegel. He was my Lawyer and in good time, he produced a Separation Agreement. He is like a guided missile that does NOT explode! Meaning…knows his Law, is extremely focused and calm, and works very efficiently not wasting time. He was always professional, ethical, supportive, diligent, available to me, and on top of the case throughout the process. I confidently recommend Brahm Siegel!

Divorce is a nightmare for everyone. As a new immigrant, it's even worse. I don’t know anything about Canadian family law and I don’t know any family lawyer. The good thing was I found this website and based on customers’ rating, I chose Mr. Brahm Siegel as my lawyer. It has been approved was my smartest decision in my life!
He is my saviour. He is bright, caring, experienced, hard working, honest and trustworthy. He is a phenomenal attorney and unlike others, he explained to me how family law works in Ontario from the beginning so I knew what would be my best possible solution. And from that point, he fought for me without concession. Even though, sometimes, I almost gave up some points, he asked me to hold on, and finally we got a 100% success!
Thank you Brahm, you gave me a new life and made it much easier for me!!

Brahm was efficient and effective in helping me through a difficult separation and divorce process. He has a thorough understanding of the law and he ensured that I was clear on the process as we moved forward. He was tenacious in representing my interest and I felt he always offered insightful advice and guidance. His billing rates and practices were absolutely fair and represented the work he did on my behalf.

Brahm is a forth right, smart and ethical lawyer. He knows the law very well and will advise you smartly during your separation and custody affairs. He was punctual, prepared and extremely efficient. I have a tendency to long windedness and during meetings he politely and empathetically steered me to tasks or necessary info required. He was alway quick to reply via email or phone to any questions I had. Brahm gave me options to have work done by him or colleagues for cost adjustment in my favour. His fees are not inexpensive but I believe you get what you pay for. He did not push costly court room drama and resolved my separation and custody agreement very well. I always felt that Brahm not only had my best interests at heart but more importantly my children's. He is witty & charming, bringing a light sense of humour to an otherwise dismal process. My feeling is that if you hire Brahm you won't be disappointed...my advise is that if you do, take his advise!

I found Brahm after having a terrible experience with my first lawyer. He was very good at getting me through very bad times with the best possible outcome. His fees were reasonable. He knew the answers quickly and did not waste my time ever. He was a really nice person and did seem to care about the eventual outcome for me and my children. Brahm was honest and accurate in his assessment of how things would turn out and what my options were. I felt that he tried very hard and it did make a difference in the final agreement. I would highly recommend him for his brutal honesty which is sometimes hard to take but there is no point in drawing things out for terms that would be very unlikely to get in court. So yes, do hire him.

The one thing that stands out in my professional dealings with Brahm Siegel is that he discouraged litigation as much as possible and was always ready, willing and able to fairly compromise in my behalf.
With Mr. Siegel, it was never about stoking anger and fear, but resolving my conflict as soon as possible. That he did and I am deeply grateful.

Brahm has been my lawyer, intensely for the last two years. His communication is immediate. He always let me know the road ahead. In an emergency, he even attended to matters while on vacation..I have never been more relieved to hear a voice. He is incredibly efficient. Be prepared for meetings and do your homework; save his time and your money. He is very experienced and knowledgeable. He can let his personal opinions about the case get in the way. Strongly advocates for child's best interests. Calm, controlled demeanor in court appearances..a big plus.

I was very pleased with the services provided by Brahm. He explained the process thoroughly, clearly advising me on what to expect and what would be required. There were no surprises along the way. He is a good lawyer; very detailed and transparent. He is by the book, not one to cut corners. He is friendly, accesible, and professional and I would definately recommeded him.

He refused to expedite thee process in any way. His sole motivation is money. Meetings were bloated and costly. Ignored the other side and directions. Adjourned my case 3 times to the tune of thousands of dollars, claiming we weren`t ready, even though I gave him every scrap of information required. Sloppy work, kept harping on non-issues and areas that had all ready been decided, all to great expense. He loves to listen to herself at my expense.

Separation and divorce can be very emotional. There are also many misconceptions that have made their way to common and conventional "truths". Brahm makes sure that you understand the law as well as where you should focus your time, energy and resources. His process and methodology is thorough, focused and efficient. I spent some time researching and finding a lawyer and it was well worth it. I would have Brahm in my corner again and have absolutely no reservations recommending him to anyone in need of representation in family matters!

Brahm Let the entire process drag on for way longer than necessary (by about 5X). Had his assistants doing most of the work but was certainly not reflected in his over inflated bills. It appeared that based on his billing, he reads at the pace of a 5 year old. The outcome could have not been any worse. If could go back in time, I would stay clear of this useless man. DEFINITELY not worth a fraction of his rate as a lot of his errors, oversights and incompetency was pointed out in the final decision as well as reflected in same.
His Ego has gotten the best of him and he needs to get a grasp on reality. Self representation is a better option than retaining this greedy selfish man. Godspeed!

Brahm drafted and finalized my separation agreement, and provided legal advice on the agreement and my divorce. He was very knowledgeable, detailed and quick to respond. I found him to be very organized, which helped finalize the agreement in a short time. He also went above and beyond in providing information and background on family law and what to expect in a divorce. He brought up points that I had not considered, and was easy to talk to with regards to the concerns I had and next steps to take. I also appreciated his method of billing, as it was very honest and transparent.

Very professional, very knowlegeable, quick to respond and impressively communicative. I appreciated his practical approach and that he provided me with all the options open to me so I could make informed decisions. He made the unpleasant and stressful situation of divorce one in which I felt enpowered and comfortable. I would highly recommend him to anyone and, in fact, have already done so.
