Igras Family Lawyers

Overall I am pleased with the outcome of my case. After many offers, affidavits and several hearings I got most of what I wanted. Waldemar was not my first lawyer but I would definitely use him again. Hopefully I will never have to. He was not cheap but not expensive compared to what some of my friends paid for their divorces.He was quick and consistent. Always available, responded quickly most of the time and handled emergencies well. He even met with me on a weekend to work on an urgent Affidavit. Highly motivated by urgency, payment of his fees and wanting to win. He asked for what I wanted but when asking didn't do it he did not shy away from going to court where he did well. Tip for anyone separating - if your ex is unreadable, offers and negotiation will only take you so far so don't delay. Good with children issues, support and property. He did have a way of making me view my situations in new ways which I never though of before. Hard working when he needed to be. Good personality. Good outlook on life which improved significantly after my final payment out of the settlement.I have referred a friend to him and would again. To anyone going through a tough divorce - there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Waldemar Igras was very passionate about his work and went all out for me and my children. He really put a lot of effort in my highly contentious divorce. He has successfully represented me in all levels of court including the Provincial Court, Queen's Bench, Court of Appeal and even the Supreme Court of Canada (I am not exaggerating). I am very lucky to have found a lawyer that is so dedicated. I felt that Waldemar really cared about my file and gave me individual attention whenever I needed it and always made himself available. He spent time educating me and helped me identify my best options in a very difficult situation. I found that he bills fairly and diligently. I highly recommend this law firm.

Without any doubt, the worst service I have ever experienced in my life. Igras promises a lot but appeared to be always ‘too busy’ on more important matters to deal with my case. For meetings, he invariably arrives late and ill prepared or just cancels without warning and repeatedly fails to deliver on agreed deadlines. When things slip, he simply cannot be contacted for extended periods. His manner is dismissive and arrogant. However, he is extremely diligent on billing his time.

Ultimately, my dealings with Igras delayed me by months and cost me thousands of dollars after which I have had to start over with a new, and far more responsive, lawyer. Avoid at all costs.
