Our family had the privilege of working with Sean Schaefer for a complex family law matter that spanned 5 years, and I can confidently say that he provided exceptional legal guidance and support throughout the entire process. Mr. Schaefer was detailed, thorough and focused on the law. He was extremely well prepared for court appearances of which we had more than 20. Sean was professional, and quick on his feet. He knows the law. We were very impressed. Mr Schaefer successfully led us through a very difficult international mobility matter. We highly and confidently recommend Sean Schaefer for your legal needs.

Sean is very knowledgeable and supportive. He had my best interest at hand, provided me with more than one option, and focused on the best option for me. Sean is very down-to-earth, honest, and patient. He will tell you as it is so there is no guessing, which made my high-conflict divorce feel more manageable.

Sean and Tanya are very professional and do their best to return emails and address concerns on a timely basis, which eased my worries during this lengthy process. Sean and his services are highly recommended if you are going through a divorce.

I very highly recommend Hailee Barber of Demas Schaefer Family Lawyers.

From the very first conversation, she made me feel heard, supported, and confident in my case.

Hailee's expertise and professionalism are unmatched, and her ability to explain complex legal matters in a clear, approachable way was invaluable.

She is incredibly patient and understanding, even when I sent emotional emails during the more stressful moments of my case.

Hailee always responded thoughtfully, offering reassurance and practical advice that kept me grounded.

I would not have been able to navigate the legal system without her, and I am so thankful for her help.

I had the privilege of working with Mark and Sue during my divorce, and I can confidently say I found exactly what I needed in them. Despite the challenges of the situation, Mark handled my case with the utmost integrity, always keeping my best interests in mind and ensuring that the process was fair and efficient. What truly set Mark apart was his ability to have candid discussions with me, providing advice and guidance even when it was difficult to hear. His insights and caution throughout the process were invaluable. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with the support, counsel, and prompt resolution provided by Mark and Sue, and I highly recommend their services.

Peter Ewanchuk was extremely knowledgeable and professional on my family law matter. He was efficient and very easy to work with. I highly recommend him for any family law matters as he was able to get me what I wanted done in my divorce. His assistant Stacey was such a pleasure to work with and helped with every question I had! It was amazing working with both of them!!

As well I used Peter and Stacey for the purchase of my house and mortgage documents. Again Peter and Stacey were so knowledgeable on these issues, they were able to locate small issues I didn’t see and rectify them. They were quick to get documents done and worked so well with the realtor and mortgage broker. I was so please and will 100% use them again for any legal matter I have moving forward!!

After working with Sarb (and his assistant Avery) on my case, I can honestly say I would not be surprised if this is the best legal team in the province, no joke.
I vetted through a total of about 8 or 9 family lawyer firms in the Edmonton and surrounding area over several weeks beginning Dec 2023, looking for someone to represent me with regards to my daughter, and I can say without any doubt this is by far the best one.
Sarb patiently took good time to explain important details about the whole process, even before accepting payment.
Through litigation, and then when it was our time to appear in court, Sarb oversaw completely winning my custody case very masterfully and respectfully. I sincerely did not believe the process for me was going to be that smooth, but it actually was.
I give Sarb, Avery, (and by extension, this whole family law firm and team) my very highest recommendation.
Family issues that need to go to court are never easy. I've certainly done my time with these difficulties that are at times life-crushing and brutally unfair. But with this legal team, you and your children will receive the best care. Mine certainly did, in earnest.

Was put onto this law firm from my brother in which had success with this firm. My separation case started in February 2022 and carried on into 2024 where my patience had run thin. My lawyer was doing all the work at my expense while catering to the lawyer of my ex playing off the fact he was old and feeble and sick. The health of the opposing representation was never my problem but became my problem and cost me money. In the end funny how when I enlisted the representation of a lawyer who actually was willing to fight and call out the opposing representation how the tables turned quickly. No endless emails and phone calls wasting money, the new representation also had started for scratch with new property table and done the same work plus more for less money. So all I have to say is be wary if using representation from this law firm feel I was taken advantage of because of how I was green to the whole separation thing.
