Very detail oriented law office, awesome service! My law clerk Yana was outstanding; very accommodating, left nothing to chance and always answered calls promptly. Victor accommodated me and my wife after hours as we came from a very far location. He explained everything thoroughly and made us feel like friends instead of law clients. Outstanding law office. I highly recommend.

Being new to the city and relatively new to real estate buying/selling, I was very anxious about the legalities and processes involved. The recommendation to contact Victor Hussein and his team was the best advice. The email, phone and face-to-face contact with them was very professional and knowledgeable and never left me wondering if I was involved with the right legal team to help me. All transactions and requirements were clearly explained providing me with ample time to carry them out, leaving me confident that I was in good hands. Huge thank you to Victor and his wonderful team for being here for me and making my home selling/buying experience a great one!

My father barely speaks English and he asked me to help and translate what the company was looking for. I have no knowledge about transferring property over to new owners and I did not study law. I informed them in an email that I was also new to this and I needed more clarification. I called Christina Pawliszyn (apparently my lawyer) as instructed, and she was just rude, interrupts me, and put me on hold without even informing me. She didn't hear me out and proceeds to say she needs to go to a meeting and I can call her back. I do not recommend this place if you want to be treated like a human being. Worst experience ever.
EDIT:
I've received a phone call today (Mon.Jun. 4) from Christina and Victor. Christine gave me her sincerely apology and I also spoke to Victor. He was very accommodating and he listened to both sides of the story. All I wanted was an explanation as to what my dad was being charged for, and Victor went above and beyond to accommodate us under this circumstances. He made sure we were well taken care of.
Thank you for that, Victor. I really appreciate it.

Hussein Law closed for me on my first real estate purchase back in June. The firm ended up providing the closing amount the afternoon before the closing date, and told me I was required to drop off a bank draft the next morning by 10:30am. As I bank with non-conventional banks (Tangerine), this did not provide me enough time to request for a draft. Even if a client did use conventional banks, between the afternoon and the next morning, it's only a window of a few business hours.
During the signing appointment, I asked Victor about the complications of postponing the closing date, he explained that it is not a big deal since typically, the bank would ask that I cover the interest from the initial closing date (~$50). At the end of my appointment, I wanted to confirm this, and that's when he explained that there may be additional lawyer fees as the adjustment amounts would have to be calculated again.
When another lawyer at Hussein Law (Kari) called to explain, she informed me that adjustment amounts from the seller's lawyer were received just 0.5hr before my signing appointment at 4:30pm. I pointed out that the fax stamp actually indicated 11am, to which she responded, "I was only instructed to tell you so."
I do understand that the adjustment amounts were held up at the seller's lawyer's end, however, it is Hussein's Law's job to follow up to ensure a smooth closing process for their own clients. As there were existing tenants in there at the time, they did not provide the tenant information for me to collect rent on time, and did not provide a mailbox key. When inquired, they said they will check with the condo corp on the mailbox key, however, this never happened as I was never provided with an answer.
EDIT: Fast forward to Oct 2017, I receive a poorly structured email with many grammical errors from an "attorney" hired by the Hussein Law Office, asking me to consider removing this negative comment. The email seems to have been generated by an algorithm with many keywords from this review; the phone number, postal code, and city in the signature all pointed to different locations in the US and Canada. I also noticed that around this time, there were a lot of positive reviews added, which resulted in a jump from 2.7 to 4 stars.
