Testimonials

“The lawyers at Lawrences are great. They are problem-solvers. They respond quickly and expertly. I recommend them highly.”

In 1967, Relamping Services was founded in Brampton, Ontario. Throughout our business relationship, Lawrences Lawyers’ professionalism, confidentiality, and exceptional expertise in Corporate Law, Real Estate Law, and Estate Planning has allowed us to remain focused on the growth of our business. As fast as business decisions are made, Lawrences has been an ideal partner as our business has grown to a national lighting services company.

“A-1 Taxi Inc. has had a 20-year relationship with Lawrences. We are consistently satisfied with their level of service and professionalism over the years. The firm never ceases to impress us and their turnaround time is quick, which is greatly appreciated by any corporation with many business needs.”

“SPS Inc. has been with Lawrences since our inception 15 years ago. We started with one business and now, four ongoing businesses later, our relationship with them is still going strong. We have always received timely and relevant legal advice. Bill Sirdevan is very knowledgeable in all aspects of business and employment law and we are very pleased to have him assist us.” 

“I’ve been dealing with Lawrences for years. What impresses me most is the solid practical advice they provide to my clients, coupled with the fact that they can be very detail-oriented when they need to be.”

“My father and uncle started working with Ed Upenieks over 30 years ago. Many lawyers and clerks have assisted us with Real Estate, Corporate, Estates, and Litigation matters. We have always received excellent legal work and have enjoyed the professional and personal touch from everyone at Lawrences. I would highly recommend the firm of Lawrences to everyone (except our competitors).”

“We have had our share of unusual and deeply concerning employment law matters. Lawrences has always acted in a prompt and attentive manner, providing good solid legal advice as well as options on how to deal with our problems, letting us, the employer, make an informed decision that works for our company.”

“Lawrences’ employment lawyers were instrumental in assisting me to deal with a difficult and confusing time, and untimely litigation. At all times, I felt comfortable with a practice leader who was attentive, supportive and able to effectively communicate legal strategy and processes with me. I received exceptional value for the services provided and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.”

“Mike Prsa is a true professional. He has provided many of my clients with excellent estate planning advice and services. He has an ability to translate complex concepts into practical advice that clients can easily relate to and understand how they can be applied to their own unique circumstances. He is a pleasure to work with.”

Headwaters Health Care Foundation has worked with Ed Upenieks and his team at Lawrence, Lawrence, Stevenson LLP on several occasions. The estate advice and assistance he provides our Foundation has resulted in a number of very positive outcomes. Our interactions with Ed and his colleagues are always extremely professional, precise, and timely. I personally enjoy the warm and collaborative approach Ed uses in his daily practice. I would recommend this legal firm without hesitation.

“Watson Properties Since 1879 Limited has had the pleasure of being a client of Lawrence, Lawrence, Stevenson LLP since January 2013. More specifically, Watson Properties has worked directly with Ms. Heather M. Picken who is the Chair of the firm’s Real Estate Group.

The level of professionalism, dedication, hard work, and creative thinking that Ms. Picken uses on all of our real estate deals is a testament to the entire Real Estate Group at Lawrences. We have completed numerous deals very successfully due to Ms. Picken’s tenacity—everything from smaller one-off single properties, deal financing, leasing work, to an extremely complex deal involving 17 different parcels of land totalling over 1,000 acres sold to a single buyer that took more than a year to negotiate and complete.

We are extremely thrilled to have Ms. Picken as our sole real estate lawyer. This has allowed us to exercise efficiencies and cost savings, given that Ms. Picken can handle everything from acquisition to complex lease formulations through to dispositions.

Watson Properties has no reservations about recommending Ms. Picken and Lawrences as a whole. I would be happy to speak personally with anyone who would like to know more about how valuable they have been to me personally and to our Corporation.”

“As I came to require the services of lawyers regularly over the past two decades, during which I am sorry to say the number of lawyers I required reached double figures, I soon understood how important trust and integrity are within the lawyer-client relationship—as important as or more important than in almost any other.

Following a first matter in which I sought advice from Lawrence, Lawrence, Stevenson LLP, and during which I was treated with respect, provided with wise advice, as well as achieving success, I sought their counsel on several subsequent matters. The lawyer with whom I worked, Ed Upenieks, was expertly competent and realistic, but equally responsive and sympathetic—a combination of qualities to be appreciated by anyone who has needed legal counsel with all the anxiety and uncertainty with which that need is usually associated. It was a unique experience working with Ed, whose support, knowledge, preparation, and integrity were critical to our success.

I cannot more highly recommend Ed, as well as the unparalleled expertise of the legal team of Lawrence, Lawrence, Stevenson LLP.”

“For over 20 years the club has relied on the services of Lawrence, Lawrence, Stevenson LLP for our corporate legal matters. The firm has been wonderful to deal with, professional in their approach and invaluable in providing guidance on a variety of issues.”

“Lawrence, Lawrence, Stevenson LLP has provided highly personable and reliable service for our company in times of need. Michael Luchenski is very knowledgeable and was able to advise us on a variety of legal questions. Beyond being a great asset to the Brampton Real Estate Board, Lawrence, Lawrence, Stevenson LLP has also become a part of the BREB family and we would recommend their services to anyone.”

“When I needed to incorporate a new company following the purchase of outstanding shares in an existing one, my family’s lawyer said my business was too big for him and recommended that I go to Lawrences. Partner Michael J. Luchenski was there on the spot and has provided expert and timely service since 2008.”
