I am very elated this hour and this day of my refugee protection hearing which was very positive. I wish to thank particularly my counsel , Barrister Philip Zayed for all his time taken to prepare me from the day one I was handed to him as council for my case of seeking asylum. He had been educative, constructive in putting all necessary required documents and questions that might be asked. Keeping me alerted to build confidence on the day of my hearing ,which seeming came easier than had been expected. I pray he grows vertically in his domain and help many to be asylum seekers. I firmly encourage any one in this situation to meet himI sincerely thank the government of Canada for to the decision taken to provide a safe haven here . I will uphold the. Rules and regulations here to be safe and make others safe. Thanks once more for the safety of my live .

Awesome service. First, they pick up the phone immediately, no waiting time. As soon as we have explained our issue which was for HR and advices on how to manage a proper termination with specific contract, we were asked to provide the documents and in less than one hour after that, we received a very accurate and customized counselling on our situation. Not only they were thoughtful and pertinent but also we had the choice of different options and anyway, all the information to make a decision in our best interest. Stephen is very cordial and sympathetic, well, not to say the least, a lawyer at his best, with human qualities on top of that, so, which is quite rare. Give him a call, you won't be deceived for sure.

My lawyer, Philip, helped me with my refugee protection claim. He helped me succeed and with his experience, I was deemed a Convention Refugee during my hearing. He helped me by reviewing and formatting my evidence. He knew exactly which questions to ask me so I could prepare for the hearing. I feel safe in Canada, thanks to him. Philip helped and saved me.

Stephen is very knowledgeable and a true litigator. Stephen worked with me every step of the way on my $10000 small claims suit. We prepared a strong case and made the defendants look silly. After we won, he even gave me advice on how to collect the payment on my own so I wouldn't have to continue paying legal fees. That's a lawyer who cares about his clients!
