I needed straight legal advice with the added touch consideration to my situation with my soon to be ex wife - I wanted someone I could trust to advise me as, although it is a simple divorce, I need to take family emotions, feelings and reputations into perspective without comprising knowing my entitlements and rights - Shawn did a fabulous, honest and concise job of this. I feel much better about the implications in how I choose to proceed. Without trying to make me a cash cow client he helped me immensely.
I came to Shawn midst of my divorce case after getting nowhere with my divorce case with another lawyer that only took thousands of $$$ from me and not really helping me to see where I stand after 1 year of back & forth letters. My first free consultation interaction with Shawn was amazing! It was the first time ever that I felt someone got my back and is ready to help me and my children. I walked out of the 1/2 hour phone call with Shawn with so much relief. Shawn and his team have consistently been on top of my case, guiding me and giving me direct and honest answers every step of the way. I am still working with Shawn and his team to get the best result in Court but I stand now with confidence and no fear as I know I have a great lawyer by my side! Bravo to Shawn and his team! I would definitely recommend Shawn to everyone anytime. Shelly.
My partner has been represented by Mr Philbert and his team for almost 6 years. Unfortunately my partner has been involved in extensive family court litigation as a result of his ex wife’s psychological abuse of the children that has led to the systematic alienation of all three of his children starting in 2020 with the first child at age 13. Mr Philbert has been by my partners side from day 1 providing sound, consistent and practical legal advice and guidance. Mr Philbert is honest, direct and has a deep understanding of ontario family law. His tenacity and thoughtful legal strategies have resulted in impressive victories in the face of my partner’s ex wife’s relentless, nonsensical legal pleadings and litigation gamesmanship. She has lost so much so that she recently fired her long standing legal counsel and is now pathetically attempting to represent herself. But it’s too late. She has lost because she is a desperate loser. Our resounding wins could only have happened with the support of Mr Philbert. He has never stopped fighting for my partners right to be a father and be present in their lives. We are forever grateful to the entire team at SMP law and look forward to finishing this years long totally unnecessary and costly war simply so the children can have a father in their life.
