The Words of Our Clients

This year my family became involved in contentious estate litigation, being sued for dependent support plus a large portion of the estate assets. As the estate trustee I was compelled to defend the estate on behalf of the beneficiaries. As a result I was referred to Siskinds LLP and John Morrissey whose legal expertise is estate litigation. From my first meeting with John until the resolution of the matter, I found him to be responsive and accessible. John and his team responded to my questions and concerns in a timely manner, being very able to explain legal processes strategies well to a lay person. John’s legal expertise was complemented by his kindness and empathy. He made a trying and difficult experience better. I would highly recommend John Morrissey and Siskinds LLP to anyone dealing with an estate challenge. – J.B.

Going through a divorce was the hardest and most emotional time in my life. I had initially hired a family lawyer from a different firm and after a year and a half, it had cost me a fortune and I was nowhere further ahead. There was no attention to detail and nothing was taken seriously. So I contacted Siskinds to have a sit down with Marie Tukara. The receptionist was polite and professional. Within minutes of my consultation meeting with Mrs. Tukara, I knew she was the one I wanted to represent me. She was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and always sympathetic to the situation. She was direct and didn't feed into prolonging the proceedings. She tried everything she could to resolve the issues in a timely manner and always responded to my calls and emails immediately. Mrs. Tukara and her team, Kathy Liounis, Emily and Barbara, were always incredible to deal with. If one was busy, someone else always responded to my inquiries. Throughout the proceedings and any communication with opposing council, she was direct, avoided any unnecessary drama/games and I was always advised and involved. Mrs. Tukara cared and showed empathy, for something that was very difficult for me. I can't thank her and her amazing team enough for helping finalize my divorce. She comes highly recommended! - J.G.

I just wanted to thank you [Rasha El-Tawil] for being there with me on this journey for the last couple years. You and your team helped me get through it extremely well. - A.M.

I had not worked with Siskinds before, therefore I was going into this blind. As well, I have never dealt with a legal problem like this going into this. I met with [Maciek] Piekosz after setting up my first appointment. I was very nervous going to my first meeting, however instantly Mr. Piekosz made me feel at ease with his wonderful demeanour and friendly smile. What I had thought was going to be a legal hassle/drama (like you see on T.V.) Mr Piekosz took my information and professionally directed me through the steps that needed to be. It was an easy process. It took some time as these things can go but with leaving it in the professional’s hands (Mr. Piekosz) the outcome was a good one and I thank Mr. Piekosz for working hard for the end result. I would highly recommend Siskinds and Mr. Piekosz. Thank You. - B.K.

Thank you! Thank you, Andrea [Cooley]. With this settled, I feel like 1000 lbs have been lifted from my shoulders. Thank you for everything. I am so grateful to Andrea for her help. - M.F.
