I got Charles Osuji's contact from my lawyer since my issue was workplace related. He was very professional and helpful. In just a few minutes he was able to analyze my situation and gave me wise counsel on how to proceed. I have in the past read good reviews about this law firm and can now conclude they are probably one of the best in the Province. My experience was second to none and the quality of service was on point. I definitely recommend them for all your future legal needs.

I contacted Charles Osuji regarding an employment issue. It wasn't an easy decision to make the call, but I am sure glad I did! From the moment my call was answered, my mind was put at ease, and I knew I had made the right decision. My questions and concerns were answered promptly and efficiently, and most importantly, I felt 100% supported throughout the process. The best review I can give is a 5 star but if I could give more, I would. Thank you Charles and team!!

I started my career in administrative support, and worked in several top Law Firms. As such, I worked closely with countless lawyers in every area of practice. And of course, dealt with many lawyers personally when expert advice was needed. In all my years, I have never met a more compassionate, caring, and truly such an exceptionally skilled Lawyer as Charles Osuji. Despite finding him due to the need to have representation in a complex corporate litigation, (never a fun scenario), my husband and I could not feel more grateful to have found him and his team. We have been truly overwhelmed by the level of expertise and care that he, and his equally exceptional Associate, Claire Lee have given us. To say they have gone above and beyond our expectations, in every way, would be an understatement. We could not be more grateful to have them as our counsel, and trusted advisors for every aspect of our business. So rare do you find people so incredibly kind, while also being incredi...
