Pretsell Davies Thompson LLP, Lawyers - Belleville, Ontario

Meghan M. Hull and Marc J.F. Jacquin

I reached out to PDT needing help with the purchase of a property with a very tight closing. They responded immediately and provided very thorough and friendly information. Their prompt attention to my questions and responsiveness were so appreciated and created a foundation of trust from day one.

Contacted this firm to ask about one matter and decided to ask about a second. Ended up hiring Sheri Thompson to do our wills and power of attorney, etc and the experience was very pleasant, straight forward and we both felt like she was organised, informative and knowledgeable. We'll definitely be back for legal matters in the future should the need arise. Staff were pleasant and easy to work with. Thanks for the help!

Sheri Thompson emailed me back saying they can’t help. Esther Deck never contacted me at all. Ann M Camps raised her voice & Hung up on me. I was simply asking for some help.

Update: Mike Pretsell responded to me. He did not acknowledge the person who yelled & hung up on me. Which was unprofessional. He had a “typical apology response” for my experience, not on her behalf. When I emailed to ask to speak to her. He used words like I have a “bullying tone” in my emails. This is an attempt to deflect what happened. “err on the side on caution” with them. They will try & shut the conversation down. If they don’t like your truth, of them making any mistakes. They know & I know what really happened.

FYI: The detailed letter you provided, has no bearing on your treatment towards me.

Sheri and Ann were absolutely wonderful to correspond with during a difficult time. They always responded in a timely manner and did so with honesty and empathy. I appreciated how they were willing to answer all of my questions and ease any concerns I had. I highly recommend this team to anyone!!

Absolutely terrible! I never thought I’d have to fight with a firm so much just to receive invoices for money that was spent. Plus Tanya Davies (the boss) was probably one of the worst people I’ve ever met. She insulted me in court to a point where I had to leave the situation to prevent further problems.

The financial department doesn’t respond to emails or phone messages. But they’re certainly quick charge your credit card. Before I fired them I was up to $10,000 for a very simple matter, I mentioned this to others, and other lawyers and they can’t believe that it cost what it did. I still don’t trust the financial department, and I’m still battling with them over charges.

Once I secured new council to continue my case they refused to reply to legal documents and emails requesting a transfer of files. There is no excuse for this, Davies is simply being petty and extremely unprofessional.

I was looking to retain a lawyer and had a consultation reference number. Needless to say the lawyer that called me was abrupt and rude.
Don't tell me I haven't done my research, that's why I'm calling for advice.
The call was supposed to be from K Davies but I ended up getting S Thompson, no empathy and treated me like I was wasting her time. Would it hurt you to say goodbye at the end of the call instead of slamming the phone in my ear. Would rather pay thousands to a professional lawyer, instead of someone that sounds heartless and treats you like you are a complete idiot.

Upon my fist call Mr. PRETSELL understood my situation was kind and reassuring. I believe in my heart that his firm will hep me and I can trust them
Thank you

I cannot thank Sheri Thompson and her team enough. They helped me with very complicated legal matters. Emails, phone calls, appointments were always dealt with in a timely professional manner. A very positive experience indeed. A legal dream team and a pleasure to work with.
So very grateful.
