 5/13/20   1     1     1     1     1   Terrible lawyer! Told me to fight for my kids because she came from a broken family. She recommended a child psychologist to get voice of the child report and go to court. Instead, the report was brutal, it listed my Ex as the ideal parent. She uses the law of precedent when she goes to court. However, I learnt afterwards that she is a “litigation nightmare” and can’t persuade anyone with her arguments. She spoke to a mutual friend (without my consent) making jokes about my case. So, I asked Catherine to temporarily stop communicating with the other lawyer because I cannot afford her hourly charge. She charged me for her assistant to pull out my file/refile every conversation and the cost of the specialist she recommended. So her new advice was to change lawyers and pick up my file immediately from her office. However, when I went to pick up my files I was told there is a charge $$$ to release them!!! Very unprofessional adding insult to injury! RID: 221474
Click to report rating    2/21/20   5     5     5     5     5   Catherine Calvert, Carolynne Marleau and their team are some of the most amazing, caring lawyers out there. I can't say enough good things. Honest, reliable, professional, and they get the job done. Catherine was always available to answer any questions I had and she walked me through the process of my case. She also made sure I had all the information needed after my case was closed to move forward on my own. They Provide excellent service. Would recommend her to anybody! RID: 219902
Click to report rating    8/19/19   5     5     5     5     5   Knowledgeable and good recommendations. Good communicator. Patient and calming in stressful situation. Pleasant to deal with as well as staff. RID: 213777
Click to report rating    8/8/19   5     5     5     5     5   Exactly what I was looking for, knowledgeable, frank, honest, effective and hardworking.

Click to report rating    3/6/19   5     5     5     5     5   Great lawyer, worth every penny! Blunt and honest when I needed it but also sweet and caring. Worth the drive. RID: 209115
Click to report rating    12/10/18   5     5     5     5     5   Not sure what the negative reviews are about- likely people who are upset with the status of the law- because it cannot be for Catherine's service or knowledge, which are both top notch. Have sent multiple friends, neighbours and colleagues her way and all have glowing recommendations for her. She is in high demand for good reason. Would strongly recommend her for all of your family law needs. RID: 206367
Click to report rating    11/21/18   1     1     1     1     1   Very Bad experience. Not responding timely and not taking it seriously. RID: 205764
Click to report rating    10/15/18   5     5     5     5     5   5 all round she was very professional answered every question i had and made me feel great about the service she and her team did for me. I couldnt be happier of the end result of all the process we been through. RID: 204522
Click to report rating    9/8/18   1     2     2     2     1   Not experienced at all. When she negotiate with the other party's counsel, she will get screwed totally and you will loose big time, access, rights, assets and of course, money. Even though you spend lots of time preparing your documents to save money, she will bill you as if she has done the work for you. Get a male lawyer for double the price. It's worth it. RID: 203365
Click to report rating    8/2/18   1     1     1     1     1   Don’t waste your time and money. She has no knowledge, lack of experience. Do yourself a favour, get someone with better knowledge, if you don’t want to loose everything you have. RID: 202244
Click to report rating    2/8/18   5     5     5     5     5   Nothing negative to say at all. My son has what he deserves now because of her. If i could i'd give her 6 in every row. 110% recommend. RID: 195799
Click to report rating    11/6/17   5     5     5     5     5   Very professional and dependable. Catherine and her team not only work for you but with you. She is not there to collect a paycheque and it shows. Catherine is very knowledgeable. From the onset, she made me feel very comfortable, and what I like, she tells it as it is. I would highly recommend her to anyone. RID: 192602
Click to report rating    10/3/17   5     5     5     5     5   Elle tient à cœur nos demandes, est sensible à notre situation. On sent qu'on fait équipe. Je recommande fortement cette avocate. RID: 191211
Click to report rating    8/13/17   5     5     5     5     5   I couldn't be happier with the amount of work that Catherine devoted to my case in what seemed like a continuous uphill battle. She was extremely professional, understanding and committed to receiving the best possible outcome for my son and I. RID: 188929

Click to report rating    9/29/16   5     5     5     5     5   This rating only goes to 5, I wish there was an option to rate higher!Catherine has gone above and beyond for me! After our first meeting I left her office feeling extremely confident, she knows her stuff. She's very easy to talk to and down to earth. She has superior knowledge in family law. Always prompt at responds to emails (I had even received email responses at odd times on the weekend when I wasn't expecting a reply ;)) She represented me in court and I received the best possible outcome for me and my daughter . She won against a lawyer that was supposedly the best, she has proven she is the best. I highly recommend her and her firm, you won't regret it!! RID: 174985
Click to report rating    2/29/16   5     5     5     5     5   Looking for a nice, caring lawyer who will fight till the end for you? You found her. Ms. Calvert was willing to negotiate outside of court to reduce costs and focus on my children. She was humble, caring and frankly a genuinely nice person! When money got involved and settlements turned for the worst, she fought for me in Court. Her litigation skills highly impressed me. Worth the drive for this lawyer! She has become a good friend. One of the rare "honest lawyer", she says it like it is. RID: 165996

Click to report rating    12/7/15   5     5     5     5     5   GREAT PERSON AND LAWYER! I highly recommend this lawyer. As a fluently bilingual lawyer, she was able to explain legal concepts to me in french with ease and then argue my case in english in court. Truly incredible to witness! She can be sweet and kind when needed and a truck shark in the courtroom. Don't let her gorgeous imagine deceive you! Not only is Ms. Calvert a great lawyer but she is truly a kind, compassionate and caring person and a fantastic new friend. I have recommended this lawyer to my family and friends. RID: 162521

Click to report rating    10/8/15   5     5     5     5     5   I met this lawyer when I was at lowest place in my life. My ex-husband had just overnight left me with nothing he drained me physically and financially. When I met her I was down and had nowhere but downto go. See you surd me back then that she had my back and that we would make it through even though I tried to assure her it was going to be a hard fight. She has gone after the party in question and has made sure that I am coming out on top with this woman I would not have made it I've been through family law previously and this has been a much different experience I look at her as if she's one of my friends. The whole office her assistance the secretaries the whole the business I would not go anywhere ever again I would pick them over again and over again. It's been a long fight but we will and I are coming out on top. She's had my back the whole way I've trusted her from the start I knew right from the first meeting that she was the one to have if I had to have anyone fighting f RID: 160247
