My ex-wife and I separated in 2010 and my file was offically closed this week. It has been a long journey from start to finish and Nathalie and her firm helped me through the entire process of CFL with both legal and emotional support. My Child Support payments ended in 2018 and Spousal Support has commenced. The entire process was time consuming but I now feel the weight of same has been lifted from my shoulders. Through the sale of the house, pension division, etc., Nathalie was very thorough in guiding me through the process. I believe that the CFL process works and I have and will recommend Nathalie to friends and co-workers. Nahtalie was fair and compassionate and worked hard on my file to the achieve the best outcome possible. Thank you Nathalie.

Used Nathalie with my ex 12 months ago. Nathalie claims she is neutral between both parties, however that is far from the truth. She is very much a modern day feminist. I made the mistake of going with her as it cost approx $9k. Now 12 months later I need to engage a lawyer to spend another $15000 because Nathalie failed to include very basic things within the agreement that would keep things fair into the future. Stay away from Nathalie. Printer and software kept having problems and was charged for lost time too.....Nathalie milked the situation and took advantage of me.

Nathalie and her team have been very helpful and compassionate during this difficult process. I have read the negative reviews that others wrote and I disagree with them. She's not a cheater not a thief and it saddens me to see that others write such horrible and false remarks about her . At the beginning I did find that she charges for every e-mail communication but after addressing the issue with her, she explained the reasoning and then I noticed she only started charging for the relevant e-mails . I found their invoice was a little difficult to dissect and understand but she's always more than willing to explain and clarify . I also received a cheque for $650 that was remaining in the trust fund . This goes to show she's not a thief . I also love the resources they have displayed at the office, I found them very helpful. Over all, I would recommend her to anyone . In fact I've already referred a friend to her .

I went to Nathalie after experiencing a lengthy and expensive process with another lawyer/firm which had lasted over several years, and was still non-conclusive. Nathalie used my self-updated version of the separation agreement, as well as the original one, and she was able to get my separation finalized within months. I loved working with Nathalie, and was instantly comfortable with her. She is incredibly caring and more than fair when it comes to billing her time, and does not include chats "off the clock." She has done work for me without pay, and even checks to make sure that I am keeping well, as I have been recovering from illness. On top of my personal experience with Nathalie, I absolutely love the premise of the firm. It has many valuable resources for the couple/family/children, and is truly built and designed to help the process to be as efficient, fair, stress-free and cost-effective as possible. Very caring and knowledgeable.

She does not understand military pension splitting. I had to educate her. She has poor staff skills and she doesn't supervise her staff well. As a result meetings were cancelled without notice. Her charges for emails and correcting her mistakes where excessive. Not recommended.

Everything boils down to money with Me Picard. She wants your money. She claims she will save you a bundle if you commit to CFL. That's because the money you save goes straight to her purse. And you pay her to listen about her personal stories. Beware.

A total waste of tiime, talks a great story but puts little effort into trying to get equitable justice. Sides with female side. Seems to make one feel hard done by but just pays lip service. Racks up financial debt by charging exorbitant prices for e-mails and other non essential correspondences . I do not recommend this law firm that can't spell divorce properly to look after anyone seeking a reasonable and quick separation, let alone divorce. Far too complicated and unfair. She comes across as a tiger but, lo & behold a toothless ****! Not a good choice, by a long shot. A total waste of time & valuable resources! I have spent a small fortune and still have not gotten a resolve after 16 months? If it were not for e-mails this office would be bankrupt! The more e-mails the richer we become should be their motto. Definitely stay clear, if you relish any finances that you have because they will surely disappear once these greedy snipes get you in their sights.

Nathalie Picard (Picard Law Firm in Ottawa) has very poor mediation skills which contributed to an unnecessary lengthy and costly mediation process which ultimately failed. Her limited knowledge combined with her poor communication and mediation skills were a direct factor in the failure of the whole mediation process. She is overwhelm by this process and seems to be only concerned about the money she gets in return. I strongly recommend you to stay away from this law firm unless you are ready to pay 4 to 5 times more than anywhere else for zero results. As an example she charges for e-mails she sends you to set appointments with her. Better she even charges for call made to you to call back. Of course she charges you when you call back. When ask to meet and discuss the exaggerated fees, she refuses to meet the client.
