I hired this lawyer to process a real-estate transaction. He forgot who I was in our follow up meeting, he double booked me our second meeting, then all the paperwork for my house sale was full of wrong information- wrong address, wrong name, wrong value etc. Then he issued my certified cheque with the wrong name on it! The buyers agent wasn't able to reach him and almost cost me the sale of my house! He is a disaster!

I saw this lawyer in April regarding my will and he helped me work out how to look after by disabled children.

James helped me work out the best personal directive and enduring power of attorney and visited me in the hospital. I am so thankful he is a lawyer who treated me so well.

Did complete estate planning package for my family. Great work and was knowledgable. Also I've used James for most all of my real estate transactions as a real estate investor. Never disappointed, always courteous an knowledgable service. Would recommend.

I saw Mr. Burkinshaw last month and he gave me the right advice to settle my divorce case. He was always available to answer my questions and saw me on a Saturday. I recommend all my friends to Mr. Burkinshaw.

I had the misfortune of using him to handle my divorce. He managed not to forward documents requested by the other party, thereby antagonizing them. In the end I contacted the other party's lawyer directly to explain the situation and I forwarded the required documents myself to restore the peace. That's just one example of the poor service I experienced. Avoid.

Documents incorrect and when requested to change them he said he did, however, the wrong things were changed. He has no clue!

There are not enough words to tell how incompetent this lawyer is. Thank Goodness the other lawyer was interested in being fair and offered me legal advice. Multiple mistakes in papers filed and then tried to make me pay for them when they had to be refiled. Very inappropriate behavior, more interested in telling me about his latest date than working on my case. Sent confidential files to my ex-husband's address rather than mine. Consistently late for meetings, and unprepared. On multiple occasions he was corrected by the other lawyer regarding laws. The only person i would recommend this lawyer to is my ex.
