I am so grateful for Nicole Arski and her firm. Nicole went above and beyond for me, and because of her hard work and dedication, all of my charges were withdrawn. She was professional, supportive, and always made me feel heard throughout the entire process. Nicole is an amazing lawyer who truly cares about her clients, and her firm is incredibly strong and reliable. Together, they make a powerful team that you can trust to fight for you. I would highly recommend Nicole and her firm to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation.

I honestly can’t thank Jessica Read and the team at Collett Read LLP enough. I was facing a Care and Control charge along with an Over 80, and it felt like my entire future was hanging in the balance. I was overwhelmed, nervous, and unsure of what to expect. From the moment I met Jessica, I knew I was in the best possible hands.

Jessica is the definition of professionalism—calm, composed, and incredibly knowledgeable. But when it came time to step into the courtroom, she transformed into an absolute force of nature. Her presence, her command of the facts, and her ability to challenge the prosecution with precision and confidence were nothing short of inspiring. She’s a true pit bull in the courtroom—relentless, strategic, and fiercely committed to her clients.

What really stood out to me was her passion. Jessica didn’t just treat me like another case file—she treated me like a person. She listened, she cared, and she fought like a friend not just a client. Thanks to her wit, her legal expertise, and her unwavering dedication, she was able to prove my innocence resulting in no criminal record. That outcome changed everything for me and my family.

If you’re facing any kind of criminal charge, you want Jessica Read and her team in your corner. They are smart, compassionate, and absolutely relentless in pursuit of justice. I will be forever grateful for what they did for me, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend them to anyone in need of legal defense." - A very happy client

Nicole Arski is incredible and I cannot recommend her enough. Not only did she get me such an amazing deal that the judge couldn’t believe it but she fully talked him down when he wanted to change it. From our first conversation she reassured me, prepared me for what was to come and was non judgmental, knowledgeable and supportive throughout the entire process. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and am truly so grateful to her she absolutely excels at what she does.

Jessica and her team were amazing. Extremely professional and always available to answer any questions I had. After speaking with other lawyers, she was the clear choice and followed through with everything she said, and getting me the best possible outcome. Would not hesitate to recommend the team to anyone needing assistance or guidance. Thanks again for everything you did.

I originally did not want to leave a review, as my case was very stressful for me, and I moved out of province to Manitoba shortly after. But I'm seeing some odd negative reviews on here, specifically mentioning Jordan Peach and Dean Collett, which could not be further from the truth. These two individuals are competent, have the strongest work ethic I have ever seen personally in human beings, and know the law in and out on the spot. Even when disagreeing with Jordan or Dean they remain professional and get the job done. This lawfirm deals with very serious criminal charges, and that means they have to be quick, concise, blunt, and effective, there is no room for lawyer/client misinterpretation. My case could have had serious, long term consquences on my life, and in the face of that Dean and Jordan were honest with me, even when it was uncomfortable for everyone involved. These are the kind of people you want representing you in serious criminal cases. If you're worried about getting your feelings hurt, then you're worried about the wrong thing. Collett Read represented me throughout my case and it allowed me to move on and start a new life elsewhere. Did I always agree with Dean and Jordan in conversation, no... but I would vouch for them time and time again as excellent lawyers, who get you where you want to be, which is what matters, especially when facing charges with long term max prison sentences. You can absolutely trust Collett Read LLP if you're facing criminal charges in the Hamilton, Ontario area.

I can’t recommend Jordan Peach and her team enough. From the very start, Jordan was professional, honest, and took the time to explain everything in a way that made sense. She was upfront about the process and worked hard to achieve the best possible outcome for me.

A huge thank you as well to Kayla Cabral, who was always quick to respond to my questions and kept me informed along the way, and to Marisa, the articling student, who appeared in court and spoke confidently on my behalf.

Jordan and her team were supportive, knowledgeable, and truly made a stressful situation much easier to get through. If you need reliable, dedicated legal representation, I would highly recommend them.
