Spent considerable time on the phone with some person taking my details but when Kiriak calls me he has no notes and no information from his staff member who kept me on the phone for 30 minutes.We discussed an arrangement, we came to terms but few weeks his para legal denies that a deal exists, tells me she'lll get back to me but never does. When I call them I'm told they are too busy for my type of file! A lawyer who makes a deal and then breaks it is NOT to be trusted and the level of incompetence is alarming.

I was present in a waiting room while this man berated his assistant for all to hear - his treatment of her was disgusting and deplorable and inhumane. If a person can treat their staff that way - is that someone you want working for you? He plays the blame game and blames his staff for all errors but not knowing the name of his own client cannot possibly be a staff issue? He takes zero responsibility, has zero compassion and his representation of me in Court quite frankly sucked. He came off as knowing zero about me or my legal matter and I can only imagine what the Judge was thinking - do not hire this man - RUN for your life instead!!!

This lawyer goes around to seek clients on contingency payments who can extract more from their spouses in divorce settlement. Honestly what kind of a human to exploit and benefit from divorces? He is a true personification of what is regrettably divorce industry.

Do NOT hire him for real estate. You will Never meet with him. He has his assistant do all the hard work and meet the clients to sign the documents. The assistant is very efficient and did great in our meeting... but overall we paid for a lawyer , not an assistant.

Closed a few houses for me; Jerry's team has always been great, don't know why there are so many naysayers, must be other ruthless lawyers trying to devalue the honest guy.

The most pathetic excuse for a lawyer. Do not expect proper communication, knowledge or really anything you'd hope from a lawyer. Please do yourself a favour and avoid at all costs. Take your business and good money elsewhere.

My fiancé and I have recently bought a home. This is by far one of the most unprofessional lawyers office’s to go through.
VERY LONG story short… My fiancé went to pick up the cheque for our renos, today.
They did NOT ask for ID. And when my fiancé asked if they wanted to see it, the lady responded with no that’s fine.
She has never met my Fiancé before and has no idea who he is. This is a very large cheque that should not be handed over to anyone.
Unfortunately this was a “small” issue we have had when dealing with Jerry Kiriak Law. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.
BRUTAL!

I went to Jerry in 2011. Now in 2013 I'm still married. Had a custody hearing in April 2012, still don't have my paperwork from that. He breach client / lawyer confidentiality several times and ignored me when I tried to address it. I had to send him three emails and make numerous phone calls to get him to read and respond to those emails. Spent countless hours telling him everything only to have him show up for court asking me to tell him all over again. Refuse to ask the judge for help with my childs extra curricular activities. Dropped the ball constantly when my ex wouldn't agree to something. No activity for weeks or months at a time. After my court date in April for child custody I asked him to get the divorce paperwork done so that I could sign. Almost a year later, nothing. I've had to switch lawyers and waste more money on another retainer etc etc etc. Wouldn't even recommend this lawyer to my ex!!

How do you even rate a lawyer whose waiting room is a couple of chairs between 2 outer doors? He is a paper pusher who constantly sends out an exorbitant amount of useless affidavits just so he can bill you for them. Before you're even finished your meeting he'll all of sudden say he has to leave - hey, he's paid by the hour on my dime. His understanding of family law leaves a lot to be desired. I would definitely not recommend him.

He gave our trust money to the other lawyer, won't return phone calls, and never fights for his clients.

Honestly, my experience was awful!!! He got lost at one of our court days, and I had to send a friend to go search for him because trial was going to be late. It wad very embarrassing. He was unprepared, annoyed the judge, and didn't fully understand my perspective or situation enough to make strong statements. I was so angry at the end of this process. Awful awful awful DO NOT RECOMEND!!!! Could go on and on about many negative experiences with him. DO NOT use in custody cases (and I'm the mom in this situation!)

Jerry acted as my diviorce lawyer and when my ex acted as his own and let his anger guide him than his head jerry didn't tolerate it, then when my ex did get legal councel things went even better. Jerry knew it was going to be a very bitter divorce and as far as i am concered he may be small in stature but he come across as a pit bull in court and didnt let the ex run me down , walk all over me, and as far as i am concered even though i ate 25,000 in maritol debt i truely walked away for the better.

Other reviews wrong! In past two years I have bought/sold 8 properties and the conveyancer was awesome!! No probs whatsoever!! Great service!! And I sat in the admittedly small waiting room but never saw any files with names on them!! Mr. Kiriak acted for me in a family Trial and won custody for me!! He is very tenacious and I got great service!! Some calls were not returned but I understood that was because he has a very busy practice and was patient. He communicated frequently with me by email which was great!! Will definitely use him again!!

I was not impressed that the waiting room was actually the smallspace between 2 double doors and that clients files with the name shown clearly on the spines of the folders were in clear view from the witing room and in his office. Obviously confidentiallity is not that important in this office
