Review Summary: A Canadian law firm, Gary Karen Gary & Karen, was reviewed by two clients, Gary Karen Gary & Karen and Thomas Turner. Both reviews are negative, highlighting issues with the firm's service and client satisfaction.
Service and Client Satisfaction
The first review by Gary Karen Gary & Karen highlights that the firm was initially welcoming and attentive, but soon, the clients realized that everything was done at the firm's leisure and timeline. They are locked in a contract with the firm but are disappointed and won't return.
The second review by Thomas Turner is more critical, stating that the lawyers at the firm won't help clients unless they are paid a lot of money. Even then, the outcome might not be favorable for the client.
