Chapman Steffler LLP - Barrie, Ontario

I've been waiting just about a year to submit this review. Kara Lynn was very one-sided towards my ex's demands.

My ex wanted changes to parenting time but her request had no actual basis for the change. Her action came almaot immediately after I had found and proven she'd been using cocaine on her parenting time. Despite my ex having provisions to not use drugs on her parenting time, being a relentless addict and liar, Kara Lynn just had all the compassion for her in the world and refused to truly understand or back my legitimate concerns that the changes requested had no basis in reason or logic.

She then shut down, did the work but did not truly advocate for me as her client. She also sent me revisions for a submission last minute on a Friday and immediately had an auto reply that she'd be back in the office mere hours before the submission was due. Handcuffing me to make the changes need right at the deadline by the courts.

After a dispute resolution appearance she told me she agreed with the DRO officer and I will lose.

I finally had enough and voiced my concern she said the client solicitor relationship has broken down and dropped me as a client.

She it dumb, one sided against me and a poor lawyer at best. I found new representation who truly fought for me and did in fact win the case and a good portion of my cost back.

My son is safer with the agreement in place and Kara Lynn did nothing to help me protect him. Good Riddance!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this law firm. I had gotten In touch with Colin Steffler who took no time in taking my case on. He was friendly, efficient and handled every question I had with professionalism and care. If you’re looking for someone who will help you in every way possible, this is the place to go. I can’t thank him enough. The whole staff was amazing as well.

I hired Colin Steffler with Chapman Steffler Family law to handle a difficult custody and divorce case. Best decision I ever made. Excellent communication and always new what was going on, always got quick responses to questions and emails. Always paid lots of attention to details and remembered them. All lawyers are costly, but Colin always seemed to make great use on his time and seemed fairly quick to draft and fill out forms and paperwork. I'm not rich, but never really got any surprise bills where I felt that I hadn't gotten what I paid for. Couldn't be happier with the way things turned out with Colin's help. Got everything I was after for my daughter and then some. YES, involved fathers have all the same equal rights as mothers. I am now a single father with full 50/50 by weekly shared custody and decision making for my now 13 year old daughter and just received back my finalized divorce papers. I would Strongly recommend hiring Colin Steffler.

After being met with a difficult time in my life and one I did not plan on, Kara and her team of Rob and Barry went above and beyond to assist me through this life changing and challenging time. They showed such empathy and understanding of my situation and were there to help through the tough times. Always went above and beyond to offer guidance and provide me with solutions to issues that arose. I can not recommend this firm enough to assist in family legal matters and thank them for everything they have done for me.

Allison McAlpine and her team are absolutely fantastic. They are knowledgeable, kind, caring and fight for what's right. They don't pressure you into anything, in fact, they sit and listen to your concerns, needs and what's best for all parties involved. They are quick to respond to questions and emails and they keep the process going, making sure the other parties don't stall.

After 3 years of no support or compromise, Allison was able to help get everything resolved and filed into the courts.

Thank you Allison and your team for all the guidance, support and love that you not only showed myself but also my children. You made the process much less hectic, frustrating and made sure it was easy to understand throughout it all. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all of your hard work.

I highly recommend Allison McAlpine and her team for your legal needs, she's the best and you shouldn't settle for anything less!

I wish you all the best!

I dealt Allison on my separation and she was great to deal with. She made things easy to understand, was very knowledgeable and kept things down to what was most important. I was never kept waiting for meetings, everything started on time if not early. All the staff were great to deal with and I highly recommend them if you end up needing legal counsel.
