Testimonials

In early 2018, our beloved mother passed away following a brief and unexpected illness. We were emotionally drained and, in our grieving, were having difficulties handling the wide range of responsibilities relating to her estate. We required a lawyer who would guide our family through this difficult time, and were glad we retained Stephen Cohen.
Mr. Cohen, and his team, were professional, courteous, informative, and patient during the probate process. He expedited the various applications and forms resulting in a quick settlement containing no outstanding issues. We were very pleased with Stephen Cohen, and highly recommend him.

I just wanted to let you know I just received the final cheques winding up the estate.
I was seriously thinking of not taking on being the Executor of the estate as it was such a mess, until the first meeting I had with Stephen.
Stephen, you gave me the confidence to take on the project and took away many of my fears. I am now very happy that I was able to complete my uncle’s final wishes. Thank you.

I’m writing this review on behalf of my mother as she is not good with computers. My Mother put a Will for my brother and I.After doing some research Stephen Cohen was the Lawyer I felt was the person to write a professional Will. He took the time to interview my mother and answer all her questions and did a great job writing a Professional Will

With Stephen 30 years experience and credentials I felt he was the right person for this. Thank you

I have dealt with Stephen Cohen on multiple occasions in dealing with us on my Aunt’s will/probate, our family will and in assisting my cousin with his Mother’s estate. I want to express my appreciation for everything he did for us! He was exceptional and exceeded our expectations from other lawyers we have dealt with in the past. Stephen was professional, courteous, attentive, showed compassion and kept us informed every step of the way. I would also like to thank Angela and Marlene who were amazing and a pleasure to work with! You always kept us informed and provided us with continuous support, making this a stress free experience each time. Thank you very much Stephen, Angela and Marlene! We are so grateful for working with such a wonderful team!
