He lied about having his colleague Jon Shulak appear in court while he was away during the Israeli conflict. They ended up double billing while they were both ignored in court. No surprise he billed me for conflict of interest demanding a meeting with my real-estate broker. Daniel Romano appeared and suddenly everything got flipped. He lied to me that he got my instruction to undo everything he billed me for. Their big victory, getting an assessment from Ann Borget who up an quit saying 3 months later she was sick--huge bill with zero results. So now I'm stuck turning my case around from this fraud who wasn't able to appear in court because he's no longer competent. It was only after the results in court were so bad that I finally realized what a scam he was in a case involving verified child abuse from the opposing party. Obviously a money crazed pathological person who should have been removed years ago. You have been duly warned. RID: 273030
Click to report rating    8/6/23   5     1     1     1     1   We spent a quarter of a million dollars on my case. He won all judgements but my ex ran away to the states. Gave him another 2000$ to see it through till end and gave up and told me my mandate was over long ago. Didn’t even have decency to answer emails about important topics. Money hungry and dropped me as soon as he saw he could not milk me anymore. RID: 266350
Click to report rating    1/31/21   5     5     5     5     5   I am so lucky to have Maître Heft as my attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable, intelligent, professional and ethic. He tirelessly has been taking care of my complicated case through three years. He is very straight to the point considering all details of the case when he communicate with the opposing side, or any communication needed through the case. He is also helping me for my complicated Iranian religious divorce more than any of the Iranian Lawyers in Montreal. You always feel secured and protected in every step of your divorce procedure with him. He is always available and responsive. Andrew and his team are very professional. I recommend you not to waste your time and money with any other lawyers for your divorce application. He is the best. Thank you Andrew. RID: 226759
Click to report rating    4/21/20   5     5     5     5     5   If you find your family case has developed into a false narrative, then you need a lawyer like Andrew Heft. He sticks to the facts and knows the law. It's a painful process to cut through to the core issues with anyone but that's what's so effective about Mr. Heft because that's what holds up in court. He's not there like many where it makes no difference to them whether you win or lose your case. That's because he cuts to the chase on the best interests of the children. You can waste a fortune elsewhere and lose what's best for your kids or you can hire Andrew Heft to get the job done right. RID: 221066
Click to report rating    1/22/19   5     5     5     5     5   Only Andrew Heft was competent enough to handle my very challenging divorce situation. I was looking for a lawyer tough enough to dispute the ongoing lies of my ex-husband, and knowledgeable enough to understand the law. He couldn't have handled the job better and remained steadfast and strong throughout the entire process, while accommodating all my questions and concerns. In the end, it all paid off, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an effective and strong lawyer. RID: 207669

 3/15/18   5     5     5     5     5   I found Mr. Andrew Heft a knowledgeable, experienced, sever, and very professional lawyer. His words are always realistic, clear, and possible. He is responsible and responsive about your calls and emails. His professional team always answers all my questions in case he is not available. I feel confident that he is following up my divorce case. RID: 197030

But Andrew does everything in his power to keep your case on track. He will not waste your money, or his time, on issues of no value to your case. Your job is to let him do his job. He is a man of integrity. RID: 194078

 2/19/14   3     1     3     3     1   Expensive, unresponsive, unnecessarily combative. Agree with many of the other comments here, that he does seem to create conflict where none exists, is not communicative and is somewhat disrespectful to clients. I actually found it more stressful dealing with him than my ex-wife. Appears to 'double dip' by bringing two clients to court at the same time, then disappearing for extended periods with the other client, while charging both. This happened twice. Because I was new to this business, I didn't realise that expensive trips to court were completely unnecessary in my case since my divorce was pretty pro-forma. This of course was not communicated to me, had to learn the hard way. Good points: tenacious, at times. But unless you are very rich or have an extremely acrimonious divorce, you can probably do better elsewhere. RID: 132406

Click to report rating    10/15/13   2     1     1     1     1   I was referred to Andrew for my divorce. He saw that I did not have too much money or did not want to pay his $300.00/hr fee, he transferred me to his assistant who charged $200.00/hr. Dragged the case so long that I had no more money and had to declare bankruptcy. Stay away from this law office. RID: 125306
Click to report rating    7/10/13   2     1     1     1     1   This man took $17,000.00 dollars before I fired him for making a complete mess of my case. He overcharges, creates conflicts instead of trying to find solutions and does not look out for the best interest of his clients. RID: 118306
Click to report rating    2/13/13   4     1     2     2     2   He seems to know the law but is too busy to put in 100% effort on any one case. I find his fees too high. He doesn't let you talk and then he will spend time telling you lawyer jokes for which you get charged. Be prepared to do a lot of your own research if you have a case that is not straightforward, then, if you are lucky, you can get him to listen to you. Very frustrating to communicate with him.

 6/28/11   5     5     5     5     5   do not mis-judge Andrew's pitbull performances, his tenacious behaviour is backed completely by his decades of experience and knowledge in and around the courthouse. He is not a pushover and will passionately fight for what is right. The court room is not for meager and overly polite lawyers, you need someone who will push that envelope just a bit further for your rights and benefits - and Andrew knows exactly what he is doing, proven by the MANY successes he and his clients have been rewarded. I gladly and confidently recommend Andrew whenever I have the opportunity. RID: 47746
Click to report rating    4/14/11   5     5     5     5     5   Andrew is cautious and well prepared. He is affable and kind but when challenged by what he considers cheap shots from the opposition he CAN DEFINETELY be aggressive and unrelenting. RID: 44253
Click to report rating    1/18/11   5     5     4     5     5   Andrew has been instrumental in helping me find a creative way out of a complicated case. His energy, intelligence, experience coupled with a creative mind is outstanding. I can highly recommend him for having him at your side and advise you in complicated matrimonial litigations.
