I had a great experience working with Mr. Minken and his team. They were always professional, addressed my concerns quickly, and made me feel supported throughout the entire process. The staff were kind and helpful, and I could see how dedicated they were to my case. Mr. Minken went above and beyond by taking the time to truly understand my situation, explaining every step clearly, and advocating strongly on my behalf. His negotiating skills and commitment gave me confidence and ultimately led to a resolution I am very satisfied with. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer who is skilled, responsive, and genuinely cares about his clients.

It seems like he is semi-retired. Doesn't respond to emails and gets angry when you call him. He also seems to lack judgment, im not sure if its age-related or just bad lawyering.

Overall disappointed with this firm. Junior lawyers do the work, initial consultation was good and then once documents signed get put into a que of clients in an assembly line approach in which junior lawyer seems overwhelmed with workload. Fees are more than downtown firms (20% range)...relied on the good reputation of this firm and with the lump sum of 30% I was treated like this was a low return. I agreed and will pay but will never recommend this firm to anyone.

We have consulted with Ron Minken at Minken Employment lawyers on numerous occasions over the last 21 years and have found him to be honest, decisive, informed and above all highly professional! His staff are friendly, courteous and efficient. We have enjoyed reading many of his Employment articles, admire how his firm supports community events and how it has grown over the years. We would highly recommend this law firm!

I was extremely pleased with the responsiveness and support I received from Ronald Minken. He listened to me and helped me deal with an issue that I found to be very difficult. His guidance and support enabled me to get a win/win result for both parties. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a service oriented, highly experienced and knowledgeable lawyer! Sue

Minken is a complete disaster. Do not use his services. He is expensive, completely disorganized and puts his own pocket book ahead of his clients interests. In addition to filing an official compliant with the Law society of Upper Canada I also intend to sue Minken. I do not believe any positive reviews of Minken. I would not hire Minken to represent me in traffic court so forget about a serious legal issue.

I have known Ron Minken and his team for years. My department specializes in personal injury law, and we often recommend Ron to clients with employment issues. There is no question that he is a highly knowledgeable and competent lawyer. I would certainly recommend Minken Employment Lawyers to anyone seeking assistance in the realm of employment law. - A.

I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Ron Minken and his team for our employment legal matters. I have found Mr. Minken to be of the utmost integrity, and his knowledge of employment law and law in general, is beyond reproach. Mr. Minken and his team approach each case with a personal touch that makes the client feel cared for and well represented. He takes the time to get to know his clients personally, and it is this genuine touch of humanity, that is a breath of fresh air in an industry that can be filled with less desirable attributes.
I would highly recommend Mr. Minken and his team for any legal matters. He is a true leader in his field!

Resurrection Credit Union Limited has been using Minken Employment Lawyers since 2014. Ron Minken and his colleagues Sara Kauder and Kyle Burgis have assisted us with various employment matters including Human Resource Policy review, hiring contracts and other employment issues. Everyone on the Minken team that I have dealt with has been professional, excellent at providing all sides of the argument and offered helpful advice.

Ron Minken is by far the best lawyer I have ever used. Ron is very knowledgeable in Employment Law and conducting legal proceedings. I benefited from his vast experience and highly recommend him. He took the time to explain the law, and helped me develop the right strategy. I received reassurance from his words and especially his actions that he had my best interests at heart. He has great work ethics and was able to resolve a very complicated situation in record time. The entire office is fantastic and treated me with high quality service. Thank you Ron and your entire office for an unbelievable experience.

We are a family law firm, and often recommend Ron to clients with employment issues, all of whom have been very satisfied. Ron is also the lawyer we rely upon whenever we require advice on employment-related matters for our own business. We highly recommend Ron and his firm.

I have been using Ron Minken for 2 years now as our Company Labour Lawyer. He has been by far the most knowledgable and tenacious Lawyer I have worked with. As an employer of over 300 staff, his experience with Labour Law is the most indepth I have seen. Sincerely Adam Everingham owner Loss Prevention Services Ltd

After more than two years and over $25,000 in legal expenses paid to Minken, he tells me that more time and an additional $75,000 in legal expenses will be required to settle my case. Do I need to say any more about this lawyer. At the first appointment with Minken, after reviewing my case he assured me that I would receive a settlement that I would be happy with. When asked about the cost, his estimate was $25,000. His management of my case has only benefited Mr. Minken. He made thousands of dollars at my expense. He delivered no results and his performance can be best described as pathetic. I have moved on to a new legal team and parted company with Minken. Hiring Minken was the biggest mistake of my life. My motivation for writing this review is to protect individuals that find themselves in a similar position to mine

Minken told me that according to common law I was likely owed 6 months minimum. The first $1700 letter went out quickly to my former employer and their response came back almost as quickly saying I had signed an employment agreement upon hire waiving my common law rights. I was never told that there was a paragraph in the signed agreement that translated from legal to English saying I waived my rights. My lawyer left the firm a week later and I was not alerted for one month and only after I called to find out why things were not moving. I was given the wrong advice that I was not entitled to apply to the Ministry of Labour for reprisal although I am successfully moving forward with the MofL. When I asked if the firm was willing to advocate for ME, they fired me because the relationship had broken down. I got absolutely NOTHING for many thousands of dollars and many tears. This firm is representative of why the public sees lawyers as unethical, ineffectual and greedy.

Mr. Minkens charges $600 per hour and his strategy is 'Slow and Steady' meaning that your case will drag on with multiple phone calls and meetings with Mr. Minken. You will end up spending a lot in lawyer fees. I received an additional 4 months, and he initially stated that I would get an additional 28 months of salary continuance.
