Pearson & Co - Victoria, British Columbia

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. This lawyer does NOT contact clients to obtain instructions, so if you want a lawyer that does what he wants not what his clients want this ‘lawyer’ will be perfect for you. If you want a lawyer that actually obtains instructions from you and acts in your best interest, you will need to go elsewhere. I have two signed promissory note signed by this ‘lawyer’s’ client and when I sent it to him asking for payment from the sale without contacting his clients he told me no and suggested I obtain legal action. I will now be forced to sue his clients to be paid. This is going to cost his clients thousands of dollars to fight and then will also have to pay costs. His clients are agreeable to paying our notes, if he had done his job and obtained instructions he would know this. STAY AWAY FROM THIS FIRM

I initially went to Mr Pearson's office to transfer the title of the house and associated paperwork from my ex-wife to solely in my name as per a separation agreement. Robert met with both my former wife and myself and very thoroughly went through all the details and paperwork to the satisfaction of both parties. Papers were signed and witnessed, and funds transferred without a hitch. Robert provided a very professional and stress-free environment for both of us.
I was so impressed with Mr Pearson's professionalism and down to earth friendly nature I returned several months later to have him draft up my new Will and Power of Attorney. Onc again I was treated with utmost professionalism and a complete explanation of all the details in the documents.
I have zero hesitation in totally recommending Mr Pearson. He is an outstanding lawyer whom I will always seek out for any of my legal matters.

This is the 2nd time I've needed legal work done by Mr. Pearson. Honestly, I can't say enough other than if you're every in need of legal assistance, he's excellent! Not only is he is extremely knowledgeable in legal matters, he's also a very kind & considerate person who clearly works hard to help others where he can. A bit of a rarity in this day and age!

Pearson & Company carried me through the processes of purchasing my first home with my husband with ease and comfort. We purchased our Condo in Vancouver and the process of working with Mr. Pearson in Langford was incredibly simple and well laid out. His pricing is extremely competitive especially in comparison to other law firms here in Vancouver. His office is well located on Goldstream Avenue, very easy to find, and the atmosphere is warm an inviting (again, unlike other law firms where you feel rushed out the door so they can push the next client through). His secretaries were always there to answer any questions we had by either phone or email, and he walked us through the paperwork, explaining each item if we didn't completely understand the terminology.

The purchase of our home with Pearson & Company was a very enjoyable experience and, come the sale of our property and purchase of a new one, we will be going through them again!

Don't be fooled by this man. Bob seemed like a very nice, approachable man. He helped me immediately, after some initial confusion, and his fee was more than reasonable. He seems to be very knowledgeable and provided me with some critical information regarding my Representation Agreement and dealings with my ex partner. Certainly a person that I will return to, should I need the services of a notary or lawyer.

2 years later: I was fooled by this guy. I called him about my will, and he said it was imperative we meet asap, so I made an appointment and I went to see him about my will, but he had the appointment date wrong, wasn't prepared for the meeting, and hadn't read my emails. He advised me to set up another appointment and he would read my correspondence and then send me some information.

It never arrived. I called the office and was treated with such indifference by the receptionist, that I asked to speak to Bob. It was 9 am, and she said he doesn't get in until after ten. And she said he works very long days and he's very busy. I asked what his hours were, exactly and she said about 10 or 11am to 4pm!! Wow! How does he keep up the pace I asked her to get him to call me, as he had said it was urgent to change my will. I was told it would be "next week". I waited and and he never called, so I called him the next week, next week, and next week. All told, I left 4 messages on the answering machine, the last 2 were to ask for my file to be sent back to me, since this was the worst customer service I've ever seen. Not one single reply, and I still haven't got my file a year later.

Anybody can buy a big table, a suit jacket with leather elbow patches, and get a 2 year diploma in law. That doesn't make you a lawyer, Mr. Pearson. You're a fake, and the only reason you treated me well last year is because you screwed up hugely, initially, and you felt guilty so you reduced my fee. DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING IMPORTANT TO THIS MAN

We got the opportunity to purchase our home from our landlord, but she wanted a quick close.. Financing was arranged but with all sorts of conditions that came through 24 hours before we were meant to close. Bob and all his staff worked hard for me to make it happen and even stayed back after hours the night before close when all the conditions were met and came through at 6pm, they worked until 9 pm that night to make sure I could come in, in the morning and sign everything. A few more hiccups at 3.30pm and close and possession to take place at 5pm same day... 422 pm I get an email that everything went through. Even under the gun, they kept me calm and got the job done... Pam, Amy, and Robert if I could give more stars I would, you were brilliant, and came through when everyone else would have went home and this deal wouldn't have happened.
Thank you for being so calm and making everything easy , and putting my mind at ease. I will recommend you to everyone !
Thanks
Craig

Buying a property can be extremely stressful, and Bob has guided me through two of them. He and his team provide the utmost in professionalism and expertise; super honest and approachable.
