If you think that any lawyer can do the job and only care about costs, you may have to search somewhere else.  However, if you are searching for the lawyer that gets the job done when a problem comes up, you are at the right place. Mr. Solomos represented me in custody/access proceedings.  Incredibly efficient and competent, he took a no-nonsense approach and was not afraid to put the lawyer on the other side in his place (and at times me, when it was needed).  He is knowledgeable, friendly and made me aware of all my options. His response time to emails etc is also excellent and he is a pleasure to deal with generally. I am extremely satisfied by the professional answers provided for all of my concerns and questions. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking first rate legal services.

The Children's Aid Society took my four children away from me and would not return them accusing me of all sorts of things. The CAS made all sorts of allegations against me, and I did not know where to turn for help. As a single mother I felt very vulnerable and abandoned. I am so happy I found this Toronto family lawyer who took my case,  and with his effort I was able to get my four children back. Mr. Solomos worked very hard to represent me by preparing and filing with the court my side of the story. The CAS understood that my situation was not as dire as they thought and they saw the positive aspects of my case. Mr. Solomos did an excellent job representing me. He worked very cooperatively with the Society and established good rapport. Even the Society’s worker commented to me how good my lawyer was.  I recommend Andreas Solomos to anyone looking for a childrens aid lawyer.

Mr. Solomos represented me in connection with my action against Sunlife Assurance Company of Canada. I sued Sunlife for disability benefits because I became sick and unable to work. Mr. Solomos has devoted many hours to my case. The trial alone lasted over 7 days. The trial judge rendered judgment in my favor. Mr. Solomos has done an excellent job. The insurance company appealed to the Ontario Court of Appeal. Mr. Solomos represented me at the appeal level, and he won the appeal too!

I contacted Mr. Solomos through the Lawyer Referral Service of the Law Society of Upper Canada.
Mr. Solomos gathered all documentation from my physicians, therapists, etc. and contacted the Insurance Company. Mr. Solomos was confident that the insurance company had no basis to discontinue my pension.
Thanks to Mr. Solomos' efforts the Insurance Company reinstated my pension until I am able to resume working or until age sixty-five.
Mr. Solomos has been a tremendous help to me. He gave me an opportunity to get my financial life back in order. My self-esteem was very low because I could not afford to support my family during those months without my pension. Mr. Solomos gave that back to me. He fought hard to get back for me that which I was rightfully entitled to. He was very fast and efficient with my case. We thought it could take up to a year, but because of his diligent efforts it took half the time. I would not hesitate to use Mr. Solomos' services again nor would I hesitate to refer him to others who are in need of his assistance.

Although he was very busy, Mr. Solomos listened to what I had to say, understood my situation and complexity of my situation and took the case on. He worked nights and weekends and was unbelievably thorough and meticulous in his approach.
The result was a powerful defence.
The allegations against me were highly inflammatory and damaging in the extreme.
Mr. Solomos is an exceptional lawyer -- extremely talented and dedicated. He went far beyond the normal call of duty to ensure that I had a proper and fair hearing and the opportunity to present my case to the court. He treated the case as more than just a job and gave it his all. He has made it possible for me to begin to get back on my feet again, and thanks to him, I now feel very optimistic about the future.

Mr. Solomos,

I would like to thank you for helping me with my matter in the Family Court.  I further, would like to tell any current or future clients that are or will be working with you on a matter a few things.

I contacted Mr. Solomos at my time of need.  I had a matter with CAS that led to Court proceedings.  I came to Mr. Solomos prepared with almost all of my ducks in a row!  I followed his advice, and continued to work cooperatively with CAS to have my children returned to my care.

I recommend always being professional when dealing with CAS, these are our children that we are fighting for, and yelling and outbursts are not going to help. Come to your Visits and Court dates dressed approperiatly and with a positive attitude.

With my dedication to following through with all the requests of CAS and working cooperatively with my worker, at times "Agreeing to Disagree" with her was often a positive resolution, and using the advice of Mr. Solomos when dealing with CAS, I acheived amazing results with my case.

My matter commenced February 2012, my children were returned to me in July 2012 on an extended home visit (five months), and the matter was closed in Court October 2012. Eight months!

If you have a Lawyer, it's for a reason - Let your lawyer guide you, help you, and speak for you...

Mr. Solomos, again I thank you for your help, advice and representation.

Sincerly,


Chantelle
