This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Not looking out for your best interest

I almost became divorced by default because of Cameron. He kept asking for the money asap. I finally did despite my financial situation which he was well aware of. I emailed him about a court date and some paperwork. He failed to respond about that and sent me calculations for support instead. W...hich was completely irrelevant since we were trying to figure out a parenting plan in court. He finally tells me hes never worked with anyone with children. What really kills me is he went through my retainer money in one email while another attorney who did court appearances, motions etc charged me that which lasted 7 months. Can you imagine the anguish i feel just knowing that happend? If thats not being scammed i dont know what that is.

Excellent Divorce Lawyer. Highly Recommended.

Cameron handled a family law matter for me. He did a excellent job. He was trustworthy and responsive. He took the time to make sure I understood everything and made sure we were both on the same page. He demonstrated a through knowledge of the law and kept me informed at every step of the way. ...He is a excellent negotiator and, when appropriate, and aggressive advocate. I am grateful I sought his advice.

Representation was better than I could have imagined

First and foremost I found myself trusting Cameron more than any council I've ever retained. In divorce/maintenance proceedings, we all know that more attorney's than not will antagonize, aggravate, and provoke each side into escalating legal fees. Fortunately, I found it doesn't have to be that w...ay. What was at one point a hostile and seemingly impossible situation, Cameron was able to negotiate and ultimately conciliate a fair settlement with the respondent and opposing council that was nothing short of rigid, ill-disposed, and spiteful. Cameron knows the law, what arguments will fly and the arguments that won't. He presents himself extremely well to the judge while at the same time flustering opposing council (several occasions). In the end, Cameron was the reason two people were able to get on with their lives with an agreed order. I highly recommend Cameron and certainly consider him a friend going forward.
