I couldn’t be more impressed with Mark as my real estate lawyer! From start to finish, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep expertise, and genuine care for my interests. Mark made a complex process feel seamless and straightforward, always keeping me informed and answering every question with patience and clarity. His attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring that everything was airtight and protected me from potential pitfalls. Beyond his legal skills, Mark’s friendly and approachable demeanor made working with him a true pleasure. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and dedicated real estate lawyer, Mark is absolutely the best choice!

Me and my partner went to this firm for a simple real estate closing. We met with Mark who took on our file. Everything was good until it was time to sign the final papers. Some young lawyer walks in and when we asked where our lawyer was he told us Mark was busy and he was representing the firm. We asked multiple questions and it was obvious he had not even read the documents. There was a mistake and he did not know what to do. We ended up leaving. I called to complain and was told that this is normal practice and that we would not be getting any of our money back. We went to a different lawyer who handled it properly. I will never recommend this place to anyone ever.

I went for a consult alone and everything was great. He said i had a good case against my husband. my second meeting was good also. i brought my daughter who is 17 to our third meeting and he spend the whole hour hitting on her. ignored my questions complete and spend the whole time staring at her and smiling at her and trying to get her affection

I met with Mark of Ontario and was happy with the quality of the work I received from him and his staff. I would not hesitate to recommend this firm and lawyer. They did everything I asked and at the end of my matter i was further ahead then i expected due to Mr. Epstein's efforts.

Retained this firm as a Collaborative Family Law lawyer. Collaborative Law vs. typical Family Law in Ontario have specific rules. 1st & foremost, collab. lawyers(from different firms)must represent both spouses. Was assigned a collab. lawyer, but after 3 mos, the lawyer moved to another firm. Epstein contacted me & said that he could return the bal. of my retainer & I can take my needs elsewhere. Or he can assign me to someone else at the firm. I chose to stay. It was a huge error. I was expecting to be assigned to a collab. lawyer instead it was a typical family law lawyer. Who did not identify this to me. After one contact by my new lawyer. My ex's lawyer resigned (a must under Ont Collab Law) because collab efforts were not being pursued. All collab. efforts were thrown out & it became a hostile environment. Epstein defended himself saying the collab. actions had not commenced only collection of info. I told him I outlined to his firm I wanted collab lawyer only. $3500 gone.

During a custody and child alienation matter, PETER RUPUS of Epstein & Associates represented the case. This lawyer and firm were horrible, took no initiative to deal with the matters of concern. They billed for financial gain and at the end, accomplished no result. They billed to the effect of over $10,000 and I was still not seeing my kids based on a very unproductive Peter Roupas. This firm is about financial gain and not in the best interest of their client. Use cautiously or not at all. There are much better law firms out there.

Mr. Mark Epstein (based in Newmarket and not to be confused with the Mark Epstein practicing law in B.C.) was recommended to us through friends of ours. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout our entire matter. Within a VERY short timeframe he was able to resolve all of our legal problems and gave us the very best legal advice based on our situations. We would recommend him every time.

Mark Epstein 1177 W. Hastings Vancouver was employed by the identical Asher twin sisters to be their executor and handle their estates. They were interred into their parent's grave site at Mountain View Cemetery with no grave marker! In 2016 and 2017 I requested Mark Epstein to install a marker to honor their lives. He said he would, BUT when I visited their grave this week, to honour their birthday, there was still no grave marker. Writing letter to Mark Epstein to do the right thing and have a marker installed. I will remove this comment once the grave marker is installed at Mountain View Cemetery.

This guy in BC is the worst. Stay away. He and his office are a mess. No support. No answers.

We retained Mark and his team and although the litigation and issues were very stressful his advice carried the day and we were able to move the matter along very quickly and his fees were very reasonable. In the end we ended in a very good settlement. straightforward, no bull, honest, tough. I had used other lawyers and they did not do the job. we used him for a injury matter and a family matter. I see there are reviews here for an ontario lawyer but we were talking for mark in b.c.

there are many Mark Epstein lawyers, this review if for an Ontario Mark Epstein. You should note I hired a Mark Epstein in B.C. for my personal injury lawsuit and a family case, and ICBC offered, me $13,000.00, and Mark went to court and got me $700,000.00 and reduced his fee for me too. He knew exactly what to do. Don't mistake Ontario Mark Epstein, with Vancouver Mark Epstein. I referred a number of family members and they all came out with great results.

I hired Mark for a legal case , his advice was off . His preparation for court was too. He was unorganized and can't think on his feet . I wouldn't use him ever again . His fees are crazy considering what you don't get ..

Mark Epstein was introduced to me through my employer as part of my benefit package and after a 30 minute free consultation i hired him to represent me on a legal matter. He was defeated in every part of the case and he just prolonged the case and billed me and rubbed my money. If i would not hire him and would represent and defend myself i would have a better result. He is the WORST lawyer ever i have seen. In some of the debate i attended the court and he was sitting like a KID and did NOT have any answer to challenge the other lawyer. If you want to waste your time and your money, go ahead and hire him.

As a first time home buyer I can't say enough about Mark and his real estate staff! They walked me through the whole process step by step and were amazing at responding to my questions quickly and explaining everything to me in a way that I could understand. Thank you so much guys, love my new house!!!!

I found Epstein Lawyers and Mark through an internet search as I needed to meet with someone immediately to help take on my case. From the initial consult I was incredibly impressed with his knowledge and plan. My experience was nothing short of extraordinary and I highly recommend

Very poor customer service with a lawyer from your firm. Your firm should be investigated for misuse of Legal Aid services!

I was referred to Mark Epstein through my employer as part of my benefit plan. During my phone consultation he was very condescending and his attitude was that he couldn't care less. I told him the purpose of my call and was left with silence on the phone. Feeling awkward, I asked him if I could give him some background information regarding my situation, to which he replied, "No, just ask me your question". His tone was so belittling throughout our short conversation that I felt flustered and couldn't remember all of the things that I needed to ask. He didn't have any answers to what I did remember to ask anyhow... My 30 minute consultation turned out to be about 5 minutes, but I'm sure that my employer was billed for the full allotted time. I would never treat anyone like he treated me. He does not seem like a nice man.

Mark is inefficient and doesn't seem to care about his clients. Just another cash grab. He quoted a price and then ended up charging more than he said. Nothing on my case got accompished

I am so grateful to Mark and his staff. I appreciated his honesty and that he took the time to inform me on the issues. I would recommend this firm without hesitation. His staff is amazing and I appreciate the fact that Mark was always available to answer my questions personally (even late in the evening). Thank you so much!

Hardly ever writes or calls back. I'm not sure if he is ever in his office. It seems like his "assistant" does all the work and then you get a bill for him reviewing it. When you ask questions about the work he doesn't even know what it is.

No communication, high rates and treated very badly. We weren't asked for any input into our matter and basically told to 'suck it up'. Berated by one lawyer, lied to by another.

I can’t believe I hired Mr. Epstein and his office. All I got for my money was a larger bill then the one I was told I was going to pay. If I ever need to hire a lawyer again I will look around. What a BIG mistake.

Mark had managed my separation agreement. The calculations on the equalization payment were $70,000 off. If I didn't catch the calculation error, then I would be out $70k. In addition, he kept getting confused over the laws around property division. My ex's lawyer had to teach him and constantly correct him. He made a horrible experience an absolute nightmare!!
