The command of English and competency (general communication skills) of some staff in his office are very poor.

I would recommend Mr. Poletes without hesitation! I have used his services many times for my clients and myself and have always found him to be a very professional, knowledgeable and experienced Real Estate Lawyer.

Terrible law clerk, Yeyul Choi. She answers the phone with: "Yes?"!! And it's all downhill from there. Please hire someone that can speak English to work in a law office.

My closing was not an easy task. At last minute, my mortgage broker informed me that he needs two more week for getting a mortgage for me! Also, I could not sell my house due to a bad market, so I needed extension time for closing of the property that I had purchased. Mr. Poletes could handle all these things with his top notch negotiation skill and expertise. He solved all my issues and closed my both deals. I can not thank him enough for what he has done for me. I would definitely refer him to all my clients and friends.

John Poletes is a very knowledgeable Lawyer who always looks for the best interest of his clients. He saved me from a disastrous business deal a couple of years ago. He inserted a few out clauses in the deal that allowed me to walk away after six months without losing my life savings. Without his help I would have lost everything. He is a great lawyer. I found the communication to be excellent. His fees for his services were very reasonable. He was very upfront with the process involved and the fees that he would charge for his services. I will continue to recommend John to family and friends.

Do not use this lawyer, the communication is not good, and the charge is very expensive. I will NOT recommendate him to any of my friends or clients.

Making communication or getting them to respond to your emails and calls is as terrible as their other services. Nonsense fees and last-mintue calls seem to be their routine but do NOT trust them with your home closing. They made a series of mistakes back in 2016 for which we're still having trouble with the City. Stay away!

We had three transactions with Mr.Poletes in Feb, 2017 - one will, two residential home (buy & sell). There are a few things we noticed 1. communication: during the time, there was a change in land transfer tax rate. The office didn't communicate with us on the fact that we will need to file an refund due to the change post-closing. The issue was not brought up until we (as buyer) asked Christina, then the office admitted that we need to file a refund by ourselves post-closing; 2. legal fee: there are fees such as "insurance consulting fees" listed in the Adjustment Statements. Mr. Polete indicates they are "standard charge". 3. Execution: We have a sizeable bridge loan. The office was delayed in remitting our sales proceeds to the bank; as a result, we have to suffer one more day interest. We have communicated the above issues with John Polete, and he took no action to address. We will NOT recommend Mr. John Polete to our friends and family.

He missed an error in the deeds to my new property and refused to acknowledge or resolve the situation. He deals with expensive property so if you buy something worth less than $500,000 he considers it a waste of his time. The worst real estate lawyer. He's not even listed on the directory of The Law Society of Upper Canada.

I am a real estate broker and refer John to many of my clients. Time and time again, John has proven himself knowledgeable and professional when we came across issues at the last moment. I have also found John superb when it came to reviewing status certificates or documents for a pre-construction condo project. I highly recommend JP.

They did not communicate what was required with us. They gave unclear instructions and they filled out forms incorrectly causing additional expenses on our end including signing documents in front of a different laywer in another city over the weekend and same day car courier service (one party on our side lives in a different city). When we asked to be reimbursed for our additional fees, he was rude and stated that we should be charged extra for wasting his time.
