Carolyn was truly amazing to deal with! She took my case (over 5 years of high conflict history) on with less than 5 weeks to go before a hearing date. She worked hard to accommodate my budget, and offered limited scope representation. I self-represented in my hearing and Carolyn was behind me every step of the way. She made sure I knew my deadlines, she drafted my documents, offered advice in a timely manner, and supported my choices. Carolyn has a strong, confident, articulate, and personable manner. She offers realistic and straight forward advise. Carolyn has continued to respond to emails, provide advice and legal guidance beyond our contract date and after my hearing. She honoured our retainer agreement until my matter was settled, despite setbacks. Carolyn is honest, passionate, personable, and incredibly valuable! I was happier with Carolyn's representation then I was with Balbi & Co, especially given her reasonable rates. Thank you Carolyn Allan!

Carolyn helped me in my very ugly divorce about 4 years ago. I have recommended her to a number of friends and work colleagues. A friend of mine recently asked me if I had seen this website. I hadn't but now that I have feel I have to comment. Carolyn worked hard with me to focus on what my kids needed and not on how I was hurt by my ex. It was not easy but in the end my ex and I settled on a fair division of our assets and most importantly I can now say that we are parenting really well together and our kids seem to be doing really well. Carolyn was not cheap but in my experience you get what you pay for. I will continue to recommend Carolyn to anyone who asks for a good, honest lawyer.

Carolyn's only concern is with maximizing billable hours, which is why her office is so nice (not because she is a good lawyer). She uses her silver tongue to promise the moon and get your retainer payment, then immediately thereafter uses confusion, hyperbole, and distraction to make mountains out of molehills in order to charge you more. Even positive reviews on this page talk about how drawn out the cases were. In my case, after Carolyn bled me dry of all my money but did nothing to help me over 6 painful months, I switched to legal aid whereby a great lawyer at no cost to me (because of my poor financial situation) resolved the matter within a week. While I'm pleased to know some lawyers genuinely do their best to help their clients, Carolyn is not one of them. Use another lawyer and save yourself a lot of time, stress, and money.

Carolyn Allan is excellent, outstanding and absolutely the most amazing lawyer. She represented me in an extremely challenging case that lasted for three years. Carolyn was always honest, fair, calm when situations heated up, supportive, blunt and to the point regarding all legal issues and proceedings. She offered great insight and alternatives to many challenging situations. Carolyn protected not only myself, but my children and my financial interests. Tenacious and a Tiger in the courtroom. She never lost a single case we brought before the Judges in the whole three years she represented me. "Don't worry! I've got your back!" she would say to me - she never let me down! I trusted Carolyn's expertise, wisdom and judgement in every situation I presented to her. Her integrity and commitment to her clients and adherence to ethics and Code of Conduct goes above and beyond- never wavered. She is deserving of the utmost respect and admiration, a lawyer of the highest calibre.

I can't say enough good things about Carolyn Allan. I had been struggling for many years through a tough divorce with another lawyer who since then recommended Carolyn to me. Carolyn took control and within a year she has finalized my divorce and agreement papers are signed. Awesome! Carolyn deserves a gold medal for that! Along the way she really listened to me, gave me direction and advise and answered all my questions in a pleasant and timely manner...and a few times even emailed me after hours so I wouldn't be stressing about a matter. I found Carolyn's billing to be more than fair and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Carolyn has strong work ethics and family values and a huge heart! Thank you Carolyn!!
