No one responds to emails. Even after multiple follow ups and call to the office. Getting a hold of Shayle's Law clerk is impossible. Whan and if you actually get a response from her, she does not answer your questions.

Avoid at all cost! Goes by the name RealEstateLawyers.ca as well, which should of been a clue for me since they obviously pick this name to have someone google real estate lawyer and have this come up. They quote one price but there's more fees behind it, if you use a normal reputable lawyer who actually quotes the full amounts, then you're way better off! Our friends bought our house and due to my lawyer not sending proper documents in time (last minute) the deal had to be pushed a day and they threatened the other lawyer and made my friends pay an extension fee for their mistake! That was $500.00! They didn't ask me if that's what I wanted and every lawyer I've talked to thinks that's insane! So I got my $8 per diem and they made $500.00 extra for no reason... Use a small town lawyer if you can, once I did that with my purchase, it was way more personable, reliable and the lawyer was a very kind man! Here you talk to no lawyers just rude girls.

I have had the pleasure of working with Shayle & Team in the past with respect to a closing on a family estate home and our experience was fantastic. During the closing, the other Lawyer held back monies that he he shouldn't have and Shayle promptly addressed the matter. More recently, I am using Shayle for another transaction and once again my experience has been exceptional and I personally would recommend Shayle and Team to anyone looking for a quality service at reasonable prices. Sincerely, Jack Tucci.

I would highly recommend Shayle and his Team. Shayle leaves no Rock un-turned and is always personable and available to answer any questions.This man knows his stuff! He even has a mobile service free of charge-coming right to your home to sign the paperwork! As a realtor for many years; I have not met a lawyer that can match his prices. I use him personally. Thanks Again Shayle!

I have three words to describe this law firm: DISORGANIZED, UNPROFESSIONAL, AND RUDE. Working with this firm was a terrible experience. We were asked multiple times for documents related to the closing of two properties (sometimes 3 times for the same document). Staff was often unresponsive. After closing on the properties the law firm made a huge error and accidentally deposited a large sum of money into our bank account. Once contacted, we told the firm that we were out of the country for a week without a secure network connection to do a large money transfer, but we would transfer the money right away when we returned. They threatened us with legal action even though we agreed to pay it back as soon as possible! DO NOT USE THIS FIRM

Just signed papers on a refinance through mobile signing. Fantastic service. Very convenient. Didn't even have to take time off work. Would definitely use them again.

I dealt with Mark Weisleder, a partner in Parnes Rothman, when purchasing a property. Both he and his law clerk, Elizabeth Kolis, were very kind and helpful. They helped me fix a problem when my bank sat on funds instead of releasing them for my closing. What I particularly like about this firm is the way they come to you upon closing, no need to go out in the snow around the city. I can recommend them.

They are competitively priced but very poor communication. Law clerks are extremely busy so many times they do not answer their phone or get back to emails very quickly. Mobile at home signing is nice so you don't have to leave work during business hours. Never spoke to the lawyer once only to law clerk.

Scammer! Was quoted $500 by the accountant. Ended up with a $6k bill (yes, 12 times the amount) for work that was an absolute piece of crap - and obtained with difficult communication. Run if you see this excuse for a human being.

This is by far the best lawyer I used for property transaction. Great communications led to my smooth transaction closing, the person assigned to my case is well-knowledged and I really appreciate their mobile signing service which gave me the freedom to choose where and when I want to meet up for document signing. Their price is very reasonable, I would definitely recommend this law firm.

Just closed a transaction with Real Estate Lawyers.ca LLP. We were buying and selling on the same day and even though Mr. Rothman received our sale funds after 5pm he stayed and ensured that he did not leave the office until our purchase was complete and negotiated with the other lawyer to ensure that we got keys for our new home. I would 100% recommend their firm!

Mobile service was fantastic! Signed my documentation on the weekend at my home and they put money right into my account. Closed my sale without ever having to go to the office. Would strongly recommend! Great service and great prices.

Best real estate lawyer ever, they literally came to my house at night so I didn't have to miss work and best of all, at no extra charge. They also let me customize my transaction, I signed my documents at home in the evening in Mississauga, but was able to actually pick up the keys at their downtown Toronto office for maximum convenience. The negative reviews below do not at all reflect my experience. Shayle was very receptive, every time I emailed him, which I confess I did frequently, he got back to me every time with exactly what to do. I think Real Estate Lawyers.ca LLP is the best real estate law firm in Ontario, they are the third I have used in my life and by far and away the best. No other law firm offers the additional value added services they do. I didn't have to miss any work or waste any vacation days and they operate all over Ontario.

Stay away from this guy's office. Some lazy clerk's who have a hard time doing the simplest of things. We had to be on top of them throughout our entire transaction ensuring things went smoothly.

Money grabbing scammer. Paid extra to make sure money from sale of house got wired to my bank immediately because I needed to close another deal. 1st deal closed Friday. Contacted him several times. Finally wired 2:35pm Monday. Almost missed deadline for 2nd deal. Refused refund and no apology! I have previously bought and sold several houses using other lawyers without extra charges for quick service but deposits were always made immediately. This guy charges extra but does nothing to expedite matters! (In the meantime, he is quick to add and extra fee of $250 if you are 15 min. late for an appointment.) He is definitely more interested in collecting fees that helping his clients! I would never use him again and I would advise others against dealing with him!

I have dealt with a few lawyers in the past. This is by far the most disorganized firm I have come across and my previous lawyer used to keep his files in a pile on his desk. First off, I was told that they served Burlington but the office is in Vaughn and I had to drive out there to give them papers that they requested last minute (this happened several times, but I only had to drive out there once, the others I was able to fax). This place was super disorganized. I would call them and ask specifically if they had what they need and they would say "Yes". Then a few days later someone else from the firm would call me saying they need a form filled out asap. This even happened at our closing delaying it a day. Every time you call them they barely know who you are or what is going on. Avoid this firm at all costs.

horrific experience. Stay away from him and his firm realestatelawyers.ca if you're looking for a relatively painless experience. Absolutely terrible! His office botched ABSOLUTELY every step of the process for us and considering selling and buying a home is the largest transaction most people do, this is incredibly alarming.

This has the be the WORST experience I have ever had dealing with an attorney. He does not know how to conduct business in a professional manner at all. He purposely went beyond the mortgage broker and straight to the bank and lied to them so we wouldn't be able to re-mortgage our house. It's been more then 2 months that he dragged this on for, only to get nowhere. Everyone including him should know that you can't do that. His assistant is just as bad. I would strongly recommend everyone to beware and steer clear of this law office and attorney for your own good.

(2012)"After sending information to Shayle have not received acknowledgement or further communication. The firm lost information that I forwarded. I have attempted to follow up with multiple clerks (Azzi & Sharan) at the office who promise to respond but never do. Very unorganized office, no proper database or system for keeping track of information. Would not recommend this firm at all." We experienced the same issues with this firm with the exception that we used my work's EAP program instead! Please tell me your personal information was not compromised? I am very concerned. I would not recommend this firm to anyone.

We have used this firm three times over the past year. They seamlessly dealt with all issues relating to two home transactions (sale and purchase) as well as set up and execute a mortgage on our behalf on an investment property. We are about to sell our business property and expect to use their services again. We have been more than pleased with their performance to date and expect our next transaction will have similar results.

Completed a purchase and Sale. Spoke with Seth, who was very knowledgeable. On signing Alex came to the house and everything went great. Picked up the keys and received funds in my account the same day. Would recommend to all.

I was selling my home and was recommended by a friend to use Shayle Rothman. I dealt with a senior clerk named Ashton. She was very pleasant and professional. She assured everything went smoothly and I will definately recommend her services. All emails and calls were answered or returned promptly. It was a seamless process.

I was buying my first house and was in a real panic mode because the sellers wanted to close earlier than we expected so we had to scramble to find a lawyer. I didn't have much contact with Shayle after the first call. I dealt with Elizabeth mostly. I felt like things weren't explained very well. They made 3 errors in the trust ledger statement that luckily I caught. We were given the WRONG key to the house. And when we told them that, they assured us it was the right one. But we went back to get another key, and they gave us two (the right pair). We told Elizabeth the sellers left 20 garbage bags and asked if she can tell them to remove it because it was in the contract that the property would be clean and tidy before we took possession. I had to ask several times before she responded and she said she will contact them but I'm sure she didn't. They don't care about you as a client, they just want to get the job done quick to get their money. I won't use them ever again.

This law office CLAIMS to have 14 locations but I discovered that when I tried to interact with one of the branch offices, it was only a business centre mailing address and there was no such office. If this is the type of misleading info given, I wonder about the professionalism of the law firm
