Steven and Gillian are my knights in shining armour. My previous lawyer had me communicate with my separated partner about all issues but financial which was a mistake as the other side was not sincere but manipulative. Steven took back my power for me which gave stability and peace to my child and I in our home. Very wise and experienced, kind and high value. I highly recommend especially for difficult cases. Not done yet but I will keep you posted.

I used this lawyer twice. Once when I split with my live in and after that when I got divorced. I guess I am not meant to be with a man forever. Anyway he was really good. The best part was how fast he answered me whenever I emailed him or called. And everyone in his office was really nice and helpful and acted like they cared. All I know is that I did better than I thought I would and better than my friends said I would. Steven went to bat for me and stayed with it until it was over. My best to Maia and Vanessa who were helping out. It was a bad time but all of them made it as good as it could be for me. Thank you Bookman Law.

I don't know what I would have done without Steven Bookman. He is a very good lawyer and a very good person. He helps people and he fights to get what they deserve. I have read the bad ratings on this site and it is very obvious that they have been written by husbands and their lawyers who Steven has upset through his hard work. If you want a lawyer that gives you 100% and supports you this is your guy. My husband was his own boss, abusive and a liar and a cheat. He hid his money, he hid his girlfriends and he made my life and our children's lives miserable every day. Steven and his team worked for me and got me everything I had coming. Ignore the reviews from these upset husbands. They are a great compliment to Steven and all of the lawyers at Bookman Law.

Steven and his team do not care about you or your cause at all. They push your case around and subpar legal assistants work on your case who have no idea what you are doing AND you pay a premium as well. If you are looking for a competent lawyer who will help your case RUN in the opposite direction. They dragged my case on and on with no direction and even when I told them to put pressure on the other side they still were not able to do it. If you have hundreds of thousands of dollars to waste and time this is the place for you

The only thing Bookman and his staff are good at is draining you financially at an emotional time. They made so many errors and lead me in the wrong path. I had a strong case and they completely screwed up everything and got me nowhere. They even "filed" to separate my divorce from other issues and 8 MONTHS later and harassing them they had not even filed for an order to separate it from other issues. 4 years after separation I was no where near finalizing it he drained me of all my money and left me in a horrendous situation. Stay far away, all lawyers have a bad rep but believe me when I tell you that a very hard and emotional situation can be made so much worse by choosing him and his staff. They make errors and are not diligent with files and actually lie to their clients. His staff repeatedly told me we had disclosure when we did not, they told me an offer to settle was sent but it was not. They are unorganized and terrible dont trust your future with them for your sake & families

I was very satisfied with the work done for me by this law firm. Everyone I dealt with there seemed to care about me and they worked very hard to get me a good settlement. Not only did I get good advice but whenever I had any issues Steven was ready to help me. His law clerk was great and the lawyer who assisted him, Maia, could not have been more helpful. I think Steven is worth every penny he charges even though he is quite a expensive. Bookman Law helped me get my life back on track and helped my children adjust to life with divorced parents. They set me up with counselling and gave me the time I needed to move on from a very bad situation. I have recommended Steven to people I know and I have never heard anyone say anything but good things about him.

Mr. Bookman and his staff (Gillian) have treated my daughter and myself wonderful. They are so wise, quick to resolve my situation, kind and so helpful. I am so grateful to this law firm for all they have done for my family. I highly recommend this firm. Thank you so much Mr. Steven Bookman and Gillian I honestly don't know what I would of done without you? For the first time in my life I have faith in lawyers and justice prevailing. I will never forget all the support you have shown. Wonderful lawyers, and as long as you are honest with them, there should be no issue, they have gone over and beyond for my family! Thank you for all you have done for my daughter. Truly, A Mom who is no longer alone because of you.

I had previously been trying to complete my divorce with another Toronto lawyer, which had dragged on for 5 years of very little movement. Having moved to Steven, my case moved forward very quickly, and closed within a few months. He's very aggressive, and his letters to the other lawyer would give most normal people chills. Unfortunately his experience and aggressiveness means he's quite expensive, but the speed with which things closed means I paid less than I did to my previous lawyer - a trade off which makes him cheaper in the long run.

I was very lucky to find this lawyer. He fought for me and got me a great settlement. He is not afraid to stick up for your rights. yes he is expensive but its worth it.

Took his workshop a couple of times and it was very helpful and resourceful. He is a strong and confident lawyer. Group workshop is pretty affordable, but the rate for a private workshop was quite expensive.
