Donna Gee uses her relationship with the Kerby centre to allow her access to a vulnerable population. She preys on elder clients and isolates them from family members. She is an unethical lawyer who manipulates, deceives and exploited her clients for financial gain.

Absolute worst! Took 50 thousand dollars from me and did nothing in return. Was hired to fight for me and all she did was tell me I need to agree. Complete waste of time and money.

The absolute worst lawyer I have ever met/hired. She was late to every appointment and she charges for the time she misses. She charged me more than we agreed and refused to adjust my invoice. Do yourself and favor and look elsewhere!! She will screw you over and take your money without hesitation.

She is part of a predatory group of lawyers in Calgary who prey on vulnerable adults and their families - whether the vulnerability is dementia, mental illness or cancer.Uses her associates(Chris) to lure victims into the office. Law Society is a weak regulatory group who don't protect the public but do 'professional development for their lawyers" Donna Gee of Guardian Law owes me $2300 of $3000 retainer from 2017 and has ignored my requests for reimbursement. Also refused to provide notes and file. I agree with the latest rating of 2019.

It is well known in the city that Donna has been running a scam victimizing incapacitated elderly individuals for years. She has the paranoid, incapacitated senior brought into her office by a sketchy person/relative who has suddenly inserted themself into the elderly person's life (drug addict brother, criminal daughter, etc.). The relative says the senior wants to change their Will, Power of Attorney, etc. to include the shady relative and exclude the rest of their family. Instead of turning them away, as any ethical lawyer would, Donna drafts the documents in exchange for tens of thousands of dollars from the senior's bank account. The senior has no idea what they're signing, how much a Will should cost, nor how much they've paid Donna. The senior's family doesn't realize that they've been cut out of the Will until years later when the senior passes away and it's impossible to prove the senior's mental state at the time it was signed. Scam is known by authorities but no arrest yet.

My career as Cantonese/Mandarin Interpreter since 1997 has enabled me to work in Courts, Immigration and Refugee Board, in law firms and medical offices. I am the Interpreter for Lily who submitted her rating article on 8/23/2016. Our meetings usually commenced at 1730 hrs. There would be clients waiting for Donna when we left. Despite her full day's work, Donna would still meet us with full preparation, deliver the review on the last legal correspondence, advise on the appropriate actions to be taken with profound professional knowledge. Her profound insights and tenacious efforts gained confidence of my client who had strived on her son's case. Donna has demonstrated her utmost professionalism which enabled the Permanent Guardianship and Trusteeship bestowed to Lily. I could not be more proud to be given the chance to work for the case.

I used Donna Gee’s services in my applications for both Guardianship and Trusteeship. My situation is not very straight forward. In spite of the very complex, I fortunately did receive excellent professional advice from Donna, and I found that she is very knowledgeable, kind and caring for handling the complex issues. Finally, I won my son’s guardian and trustee!!! In a sense, she saved my son!!! I would strongly recommend her to everyone who needs the legal services in her practice areas! Thank you very much Donna, I highly appreciate your excellent advice, professional work, and the deep attention that you put into my case. Lily

Donna Gee and her staff were knowledgeable, communicated with us well on our wills and executor issues and left no stone unturned regarding our personal matters. She was thorough, expedient and billed reasonable fees for the issues we covered. I would use her again for any legal problem if one should occur. Donna was very professional and a pleasure to deal with.

Donna's client service is absolutely terrible. I have had three meetings scheduled with her two of which she cancelled and the other she left me waiting for nearly 1.5 hours. She has had my file now for approximately 2 years and it has barely moved anywhere and all I have to show for it is $4500 less in my bank.

my personal opinion is that this lawyer is absolutely horrible. she makes people wait because she is always late and it is often longer then 20 or 30 minute waits. she doesn't responds to emails or calls well and i don't think she knows what she is doing. she is often flustered and doesn't answer questions well. she quotes prices but then ends up billing for a lot more than what she quoted. another comment said her staff writes her reviews on this site and i believe it.

Donna Gee provided exceptional service throughout a complex will probate. She kept us informed as to the status throughout the entire process and completed probate in an unprecedented brief time.

This lawyer has been a nightmare to deal with. She doesn't return phone calls and my file sat for years with no progress. She made me sign a deal I wasn't happy with buy i got the impression she was just trying to rush me out the door and then I got the bill! Shocking for the value I got! I owed almost as much as my settlement. Also did you notice she has two pages on hear. I think most of the reviews r fake probably done by her staff. Very disappointed.

I used Donna Gee’s services in preparing my will. My situation is not very straight forward, but I found her to be very knowledgeable, kind and caring. She provided some great counsel for my situation. She is responsible and trustworthy. I will, without hesitation recommend Donna Gee’s legal services.

Donna helped me with some weighty and complex business and personal financial issues. She asked me many questions and then poured over the issues and details. She connected me with a helpful bankruptcy trustee. The three of us discussed matters further regarding the best way forward. I really appreciated her being part of the discussion as she asked questions that I hadn't thought of helping me clarify and navigate the issue. I find her to be a very level, compassionate and thorough individual. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of legal services.

My experience with Donna Gee with North Calgary Legal Centre was beyond exemplary! Donna's personal care, her dedication, and the detail exercised with my case truly went beyond the call of duty. Donna listened, she heard, and acted on my case in a very genuine and professional manner. All sensitive issues were dealt with, all affected parties kept updated, and all deadlines met and completed on time. My satisfaction to the outcome was greater than was expected and Donna's performance well exceeded my expectation. I would, and am, definitely referring Donna Gee to anyone, friend or family, requiring legal services or advice, for I know that they will be in good hands and will be dealt with fairly and effectively. Thank you Donna!! I truly appreciate your dedication, your hard work, and the long hours you put into my case. Margit

Donna Gee recently represented my family related to some estate matters. I am 85 years old, and I have very limited knowledge of these matters, so I came to rely on her sound and practical advice. I asked many questions, and although I was being somewhat repetitive she patiently guided me through the entire process. She very effectively communicated my options to me, and she left me very much at ease in this regard.

As President of a Financial Planning firm, we have had the pleasure of a business association with Donna Gee whereby many of our clients have benefitted from our referrals to her for their various legal matters that required her expertise. Our feedback from all clients related to her services has been extremely favourable. Donna deals with people fairly and competently and our experience is that our clients love dealing with her.
As a testament to her services, some of our clients have since referred people to her out of their networks. We have no hesitation in referring friends and clients to Donna Gee.

I referred my Father to Donna Gee in relation to the settling of my Mother’s estate. Her and my Father hit it off immediately! Donna clearly has the ability to deal knowledgeably and patiently with the concerns and needs of Seniors, as demonstrated in my Father’s case. Her background as a Registered Nurse is of great value in this regard. She truly is compassionate and caring. I highly recommend her services without hesitation. I have also referred additional family members to her, and they have been extremely pleased with their results.

Donna was my father's lawyer and was hired after he had a stroke. She had come recommended as an elder advocate. She turned out to be quite the opposite. If anything, she took advantage of my father and cost him thousands of unnecessary dollars. The customer service given by her and her assistants was horrible! They would never return phone calls and would even set up appointments with my Dad at his house (he lost his drivers license after the stroke) and then not even show up!! I am absolutely appalled by her entire practice and strongly caution anyone before hiring her.

I read the negative comments below and cannot believe it's about the same lawyer! Donna is very professional and made sure my divorce was handled properly. I can safely say I was completely satisfied with her work.

I was referred to this lawyer by a friend who knew her through a friend. She started my divorce more than four years ago and it is still not done. I don't blame that entirely on her but i felt that my file was neglected and not a priority for her. It took her forever to return my calls for updates on things - if she did at all. more often than not I ended up talking to her assistant who wasn't really able to give me much information. my legal fees continued to spiral out of control until i finally decided that i needed to find a new lawyer. It was only when comparing her to my new lawyer that I realized how much better the service could of been. Of course that was thousands of dollars later.
