Vayia Ellsworth is an excellent Divorce/Family Law Lawyer. Vayia sees the complete picture and communicates what you need to hear/understand. Vayia did great with my separation, ensuring I received a fair settlement. Hopefully, I won't need her services again, but I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a Divorce/Family Law lawyer.

Vayia was very straight forward with her advice on my issues. No sugar coating. Explained the process in detail and explained outcomes of other cases similar to mine. She was very accommodating with the retainer fee, which was very helpful. I would highly recommend her for any family matter you may have.

I found Vayia to be astute, efficient and her response rate excellent when I had questions. She gave me a sense of confidence when I needed it most plus she was thorough and always positive. Her energy, tenacity and knowledge of the law combined with her professional but caring personality make for the exact kind of lawyer everyone seeks. I highly recommend Vayia to anyone needing help navigating Family Law. 5 stars across the board, without question.

I had the pleasure of having my divorce completed at Templeman. Vayia’s assistant danielle was very pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful. My divorce was painless and I was walked through the procedure every step of the way. Thank you vayia and danielle for helping me start my next chapter.

Went for advice on divorce and settling property in New Brunswick. She didn't seem knowledgeable about this. Told me to have everything handled in New Brunswick. I got hold of a lawyer in N.B. who said the legal process should be started in Ontario. I emailed Vayia with this info asking what she would advise next. She never responded to my email or had her secretary respond by phone or email. Waited two weeks and ended up booking another appointment with her. Asked me why I booked another appointment and I asked her why she didn't respond to my email, and she said she was very busy. She quoted some section in a big law book and told me to call this lawyer in N.B. back and tell her to read this section, claiming the lawyer in N.B. didn't know what she was talking about. Charged me another $300 for about maybe 1/2 hour of her time and basically left me to sort things out for myself. I was not happy at all with her help or lack thereof.

My experience with Vayia has been over a one year period starting in October 2018. Vayia represented me as the Respondent. She's excellent at communicating the process, next steps and anticipated outcomes. I'm a detailed person by nature. My need to understand process is important to me and Vayia quickly picked up on this. At every step she communicated in easy terms the process. I recall several times within this process the feeling of panic and despair. Vayia quickly reassured me everything would be fine. Her knowledge of the Family Law rules is very impressive. Vayia will tell you when you're wasting your time and money and will propose the best way forward so you get the best bang for your buck. She was able to negotiate a final settlement that exceeded my expectations. Emotionally, Vayia was tremendous support for me as well. She helped by relaying some of her own personal experiences. I would highly recommend Vayia to anyone that needs family law legal help. Thank you Vayia!

Vayia has provided us peace of mind through her demeanour and over all approach to family law. She is highly skilled at negotiation and handles herself better in a court room than any other lawyer I’ve seen. And I’ve seen a few since I studied law myself. Therefore I don’t take requiring competent representation lightly in any and all court/legal matters. She is knowledgeable, kind, competent, compassionate and when she needs to be... a force to be reckoned with, (of course) while maintaining the highest level of professionalism. Vayia helped us through Very lengthy and emotionally exhausting negotiations related to our family matter as well as the division of assets and finally the divorce that was being sought after. At all times she provided us with competent/valuable legal knowledge and advice. Vayia, thank you for being such a strong advocate for us and all your other clients.

At one of the worst times in my life Valya Ellsworth took over and in the most caring,empathetic way got me Everything I was entitled to. She is an excellent lawyer, professional and kind yet totally capable of fighting for her client. I will be recommending her and her team to everyone in need of legal help. I was devastated and lost and Valya made it possible for me to live life again.

Vayia was/is very knowledgeable representing me for my separation. All questions were answered promptly and I was presented with all my possible options with advice full information on the pros and cons. She has an excellent team and she made sure I was satisfied with my final agreement. Everything was dealt with in a very timely fashion without leaving me wondering if all my needs were met. Thanks again Vayia.

Going through the process of getting a divorce can be such an emotional rollercoaster ride and knowing that your lawyer has the experience and skills necessary to guide you through is so important. Working on creating a separation agreement especially when child access is involved is never easy but Vayia was always able to provide the bigger picture and refocus matters. I would definitely recommend Vayia to my friends and actually I already have.

Vayia Ellsworth was a beacon of hope during the most stressful time of my life when the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. Not only was she incredibly knowledgeable in family law matters, her calm and empathetic demeanor gave me strength and support during this difficult time. My children and I are eternally grateful for her service and I would recommend Mrs. Ellsworth without reservation

Vayia Ellsworth was my fourth and final lawyer in a divorce matter that had lingered since 2011. Litigation with another lawyer began in 2015. It was very messy because of informal agreements made by me and my ex-husband and the work of other lawyers, but Vayia got up to speed in no time. She was very professional, knowledgeable, strategic AND RESPONSIVE which was a serious issue with the other lawyers. I retained Vayia in October 2017 and the matter was settled May 2018. She is very honest, direct and fair. I would not hesitate to recommend Vayia and her assistant Nicole as a very competent, dedicated and hard-working team in family law matters. Thank you Vayia, and Nicole. Thumbs up!!
