Reviews of Filkow Law Vancouver (Attorney)

E Towel

I decided to file a complaint with the BC Law Society, as a result of the unethical, negligent handling of my traffic violation (excessive speeding) case by Filkow Law. Though I paid $1960 to retain an articled lawyer at Filkow to represent me, I never received notification that my lawyer was leaving / had left the firm, that I had a new court hearing date scheduled, and that I would be represented in court by a third-year law student, Lauren Chancellor, who was interning at the firm for the summer. Of course I was found guilty, having had no opportunity for a meaningful defense prepared by capable, experienced counsel. Filkow Law did reimburse me for the legal fees, a tacit acknowledgement of their gross incompetence. But I remain out-of-pocket $368 for the ticket, plus the Driver Risk Premiums of $384 a year for three years ($1520 total). And should I receive another excessive speeding ticket any time in the next three years, I will have my license suspended, thus rendering me immediately unemployed and unemployable, and requiring thousands of dollars more in legal fees to get my license back. I want to warn others about the disreputable business practices of Filkow Law. Traffic violations are not inconsequential matters, and hiring an avaricious, ineffectual law firm like Filkow can jeopardize your livelihood, your family and your future, for years to come.

Kevin is by far the best lawyer you could ever ask for. He has helped me through thick and thin from dropping charges, driving offence issues and more. He always takes his time to see me even though he’s super busy. We’ve become friends and that’s something you don’t get from your regular lawyers. He’s super approachable and pays close attention to what you have to say. I highly highly recommend him. Superior!!! I trust him 100 percent and you should too. Thumbs up! Love him.

To be completely frank, I was unsure what to expect. A colleague referred me to Filkow Law, and they went above and beyond my expectations. The team is highly responsive and informative, guiding you through every step with detail. I could not be more satisfied with the outcome of my legal case. Michael Scott & team are truly professionals within this field. No doubt, I would refer friends and family to Filkow Law. Many thanks once again.

Michael Scott is an amazing lawyer!

I could not recommend the lawyers at Filkow Law enough! The entire team is highly professional and knowledgeable. They answered all of my questions honestly and were always quick to respond. I always knew what to expect. They were upfront and honest about their fees and they stuck to their word. As with anything, there are no guarantees but I felt as though they worked hard for me and did everything they could to get me the best possible result. I am very satisfied with the service that I received and would not hesitate to refer my friends and family to Filkow Law for assistance.

Kevin and the rest of the Filkow Law team did an absolute phenomenal job representing me and getting me out of a very bad speeding ticket with a reluctant officer. These guys are highly professional, delivered on their promise and exceeded my expectations. I will be happy to recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great lawyer.

Arvin Khamseh

Micheal and Ermina have been tremendously helpful. I know very little about law so it's hard for me to engage lawyers out of not having a measuring stick to judge them by. For that reason, I'm lookin for every little detail that may not even have to do with their law practice and knowledge to judge them by. Results wise they delivered every time. I'm glad I've put in the trust in them. Also, value wise I was left under the impression they are on the same page with me ; they got my back. Their admin team is respectful and punctual with what they say. Hopefully I'll never need you again and I recommend you for sure.

Lindsay Violet

Filkow Law are exceptional. If you have been issued a ticket for any sort of traffic offence, however small you think it might be, retain their services! Filkow Law provided me with a professional, exceptional service. I cannot recommend them highly enough. It is worth retaining their services however the outcome.

Resolved as promised from day 1. Thanking all the staff involved, sincerely. Highly recommended!

Kurt Barlow

Super professionals... I hired Ermina as my criminal defence lawyer and she was the most professional and on the spot lawyer. The law firm is rated as one of the best in B.C. and their works reflects the outcome .

Kristina Murphy

they have been amazing to my friend. helping her with everything and going above and beyond.

Jared Areshenkoff

I have a glowing review for Ermina Talic at Filkow Law. I phoned many lawyers when deciding on legal representation. I had the best feeling with her, as she explained strategy, price, and the stages of legal proceedings. The price quoted was the price I paid, no hidden fees, etc. Throughout my case she always responded in a very timely manner, she explained things very clearly and answered any questions I had. She was also caring and understanding which meant a lot to me and made me feel comfortable. Plus she is a total shark in court. I got the result I wanted and I couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend Ermina Talic for your legal requirements.

Jennifer Andrieshyn

Kevin Filkow and his amazing team did a brilliant job in representing me. I found their service very professional, prompt and respectful. He demonstrates a wealth of knowledge and expertise in his field, is skilled at what he does and was able to deliver a very favourable outcome for me. I'm very happy to have chosen him as my lawyer and would highly recommend his firm! Thank you Kevin and everyone at Filkow Law Vancouver!

Kristie Erickson

Anthony Robinson handled our case and did a great job for us. He took all the stress away from us and handled all of our matters in dealing with the court and the processes involved. He was very prepared and fought hard for us ! We highly recommend his services !

Michael K

From the start with my interaction with Michael, all the way to the end with Kevin, I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to have on my side representing me. They are genuinely nice, professional, and smart lawyers. Many times you may find that lawyers may be scary people to interact with but not them! Everyone in the office is sweet and just the most amazing individuals.

Dan H. Griffith

Mike Thain is one of British Columbia's top traffic court lawyers. I myself am a lawyer and have relied on his expert advice on multiple occasions.

stephen lowe

I was assaulted in a street fight, and the attacker lied to police with biased witnesses. Thanks to the hard work, and professionalism of Anthony Robinson who tracked down neutral witnesses who reported the truth. I was able to have my case resolved. I’ve also had bad luck with traffic tickets and thanks to Michael Scott’s help and his great experience and rapport with the VPD I was able to not accumulate any points against my record. When you need help you have to go for quality, and the team at Filkow law gets the job done right.

Patrick Teodosio

Mike Scott provided very professional and comprehensive services regarding my traffic ticket dispute. He provides open communication, is transparent in his process and responds to your questions promptly and in a way you will understand. Would happily refer others to him.

Behdad Jamshidi

I have had the pleasure of working with Kevin and his team on two different projects. The lawyers at Filkow Law are professional, experienced, friendly and truly care about their clients. They are experts when it comes to criminal law and their experience comes through when you speak to them. If you are looking for lawyers to work on your case, you can't go wrong with Filkow law. Highly recommended lawyers!

Keenan Kerswell

Mr.Pryde was extremely helpful during my case. As he acted with the out most respect and knowledge giving me both advice and professionalism.

Avjinder Nijjar

I came to Filkow law for my personal injury case. They got me an amazing settlement, way better than i had thought. The staff is very professional and great to work with. They are very helpful and respectful. I would recommend filkow law to anyone who has any legal issues.

Randy Maxwell

I put myself into a situation where I required the absolute best attorney available . I had heard very good things about Kevin Filkow. After listening to my side and reviewing the facts Kevin and his assistant Jacqueline created a defence. Kevin stressed that there was a very slim chance that things would go my way, however I decided to proceed as this was having a devastating impact on my life. The defence that Kevin and Jacqueline put together was the absolute best chance I would ever have and I clearly could see that I was dealing with the best people available. Kevin and Jacqueline won my case for me!! If you are in a situation where you require a miracle, Filkow Law is your only hope

I had an amazing experience with Kevin Filkow and Anthony Robinson. They are extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case and I am glad I had them represent me. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great lawyer.

R Levasseur

My personal experience with Filkow Law and the entire staff over the last 10 years has been exceptional and continues to be for Motor Vehicle Act violations. I am a long time client of this firm and have had some critical moments in my young life and adult hood that could have put myself seriously behind in the game of life. We all make mistakes in life but using Filkow Law firm helped build an accurate and appropriate defense on my behalf. When ever talking with any staff member it was an enjoyable experience and took what I had to say at full value. To sum it all up, very strong presence in court, hard working and dedicated to there clients, truthful about fees and upfront about court costs. Staff members are well trained and really pay attention to the small details. Overall an overwhelming and positive experience when ever I need a consultation over an issue. Also, the positive feed back I have gotten from friends and family just holds up why, Filkow Law really is "The Place" to get representation of motor vehicle violations.

Zehra Delalic

My experience with Filkow Law was exceptional! The lawyers at Filkow Law are truly specialists in their field. Not only do they handle your case with care but they also communicate with the client with great compassion. From start to finish, I felt they had my back and the end result showed that they did! I switched to Filkow Law from another law office. As soon as I did, I never looked back. They communicated with me when needed. They kept me informed and updated. They were open and honest about how they would help me and never gave me any false hope. I felt that they did everything they could for me and that the end result was fair and just! I am truly grateful for their hard work and would recommend their services to anyone. Thank you Filkow Law!

Husein Delalic

Great group of lawyers! They work as a team and as a result have many years of experience and vast knowledge and experience. My experience with them was seamless and I received an excellent outcome! Thank you for hard work and dedication!

Shawn Zelenak

Extremely professional and easy to talk to! I have never experience service of this magnitude, my Faince and myself are blown away on how quick and painless the unfortunate experience of getting into an accident and having to deal with anything else that was also connected to it - within approximately 72-hours from the time we retained Wests along with the Filkow Law team we were notified that everything was revoked and nothing was going to appear on my history. Unbelievably grateful!!

Kevin and his associates are very knowledgeable and helpful. Problem solved very smoothly.

Amarnath N

This was my first time using law service to fight my speeding ticket. Believe me they gave my life back when I'm on the edge. Got my ticket dismissed, no points, no fine. About Filkow law my opinion is: Highly Professional and Prompt, they far exceeded my expectations and I sincerely appreciate the service they provided. I would recommend them for handling whatever issue you might find yourself up against. There might be other services too but when everyone is busy with their life, they really showed me why I can rely on them. The way the communicated and updated me each and every step. In one word : I would say 'Look no further - they are Amazing' Thank you Ermina. Will definitely recommend them for friends and family.

Michael Scott was very helpful. He helped with my case and prevented me from getting my license suspended. very worth it. thank you so much.

Mustafa A

I would like to thank Mr. Filkow, for all his help throughout this process and everyone at the firm who was polite and generous during my visit at the Vancouver Location. Mr. Filkow did a great job on the case and got the charges dismissed. I would highly recomment hiring Filkow as he is the best in TOWN!!!

Stephen Chen

From the first phonecall to the day of the dispute Michael Scott from Filkow Law was very knowledgeable and guided me every step of the way. Highly recommend.

Michael Prange handled my traffic court case. Had the best outcome possible, walked away with everything dropped. Fully recommend for any and all legal work.

Logan

Very pleased with how my case was handled, couldn’t have gotten a better result. Easy to contact and talk to. Have since recommended to all my friends in trouble to use filkows services ????????

Ellen Sherry

Connected with Michael Scott after searching for legal assistance with filing an appeal on the cancellation of my father's drivers license. He was great to talk to over the phone and helped our family obtain and submit documentation to lodge the appeal. He was always quick to respond to my phone calls or e-mails during the process. We were fortunate enough that the appeal was successful. Would not hesitate to work with him again if the need arises.

R Song

Michael Scott was the lawyer that took on my file and was very professional and prompt. Details of my case was provided along with his input and expertise. Ended up getting the case turned over and highly recommend his services at Filkow Law. Thank you so much again!

Dhh Dhs

I would like to thank Anthony Robinson and Micheal Scott, there is a good reason why the 3 Filkow Law offices carry 5 stars across the board. I received an IRP 2 weeks ago, they were honest, calming and up front about all costs. Kept in touch whenever I needed, and always answered questions truthfully. I've been through a few firms for traffic disputes but this one is by far the most professional. The process was quite intimidating but they broke down each step and explained it very well. I can honestly go on more about this firm, but if you value your license or future as much as me, its worth paying the retainer and having them look into your case.

Karen Chang

I would highly recommend the legal services of Filkow Law. Thanks to their superior knowledge and evaluative skills, we reached a positive outcome that I couldn’t be more satisfied with. I was very fortunate to have such a strong and knowledgeable team by my side through this extremely tough time. I would like to thank Jacqueline for all her hard work and dedication. From the beginning she was very direct, honest and thorough. She gave advice, answered all my questions, provided moral support and genuinely cared about my well-being. Jacqueline was very confident in her prediction and I’m glad I put my faith in her. I am not only relieved but also happy that I can now move forward. Words cannot describe how extremely grateful I am. Thank you!!!

M Virk

Mr.Filkow Thank you to Mr. Kevin Filkow, Ms. Paula Cooper and Filkow law team. This was very stressful time for my family and I. We went to many law offices and we decided on Mr. Kevin Filkow as our lawyer. His plan of action and predilection for case made the decision as our lawyer. Anytime we arrived at the office he made my family and I comfortable. His work ethics, engagement and performance got me through this difficult time. Again I thank you.

wowowl

West Pryde was the lawyer responsible for my License Prohibition. He was patient, well experience and answered my questions and concerns in details. Highly recommended

Tyler Clough

This is a great, trustworthy, and dependable law firm. Paula Cooper helped me and she saved my license. I called after receiving a ticket as I am an N driver whose been suspended and I was worried I would get suspended again. She clearly explained all the steps we would need to take and options that I had. She didn't make any false promises and came through with everything she said she hoped we could accomplish. She really helped me with this stressful experience and I probably would have had to restart my N for the second time without her. They went to court for me and represented me professionally, had a good repertoire with the officer who ticketed me and helped get the points off my license. If you need a lawyer you can trust with someone as important as your license I would definitely recommend Paula and Filkow Law!

Chris Anderson

Very expensive firm.

Martin Leduc

(Translated) Great place !!! ???? (Original) Super place!!!????

Ermina Talic exceeded my expectations while handling a legal issue. She thoroughly explained the process, had answers for all my questions and updated me in a timely fashion. I immediately felt at ease and was confident in her ability to handle my case as she was the first lawyer I spoke to regarding this matter. Thank you Ermina for the stress free process! You are a great asset to the Filkow Law team.

Sutton MetroLand Realty

Many thanks to Kevin and West for the great job done! This is the second time Kevin helped me out and same exception result! Thank you for dealing with BMW Canada and prevented the potential lawsuit and save my credit. I would strongly recommend you to anyone I know when they need a lawyer : ) Jerry L.

Mif Shala

I will never ever deal with them again, we agreed on a price for them to fight my case and then towards the end they asked for another $7.5000 on top of the $10.000 I paid because they did more work than they anticipate, i had to call them every time to get updates, please stay away from them

Tom Boss

Very Professional and incredibility knowledgeable to how best proceed with the best outcome possible. Paid off after 2 years of there persistence and experience to have the case thrown out !!!!! Thank You again for all the fantastic work. My first go to Lawyers if ever an issue ever arises in the future

Hanzhe Teng

The best. No words needed, just trust them!

Sina Zamani

Very professional and very good at what they do. Helped me achieve the best possible outcome for my case. Kevin and West were incredibly helpful.

Timothy Lui

Kevin and his team were fantastic. I had gotten in an acccident with a DUI and driving iwthout a license.My situation was quite dire to say the least. Not only was I in breach of my insurance contract, i was possibly facing criminal charges. Kevin, Jaqueline and Ermina were not only able to fight off my DUI charge, they talked down my driving while prohibited infraction and not only figured out a way to save my insurance, but also was able to get money from ICBC form my totalled car. Despite the circumstances, I was deemed not at fault. They may be expensive, but tthey are the truest embodiment of the phrase " You get what you pay for". In this case, quite a bit. I would recoomend anyone to seek out Filkow Law for any driving related matter.

Merritt Paulo

Amazing work highly recommend Filkow Law. Even if you feel you have no chance call them.

Paul Zalesky

Kevin Filkow and his entire team are knowledgeable, professional and caring in getting an issue resolved fairly with the best outcome possible. I highly recommend them.

Mick Eytoria

Kevin Filkow and the entire team were very professional and helpful in all aspects of law. They answered any questions as fast as possible, and kept me up to date with everything else. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer and team representing myself, and I would 100% come back here if needed.

Sy Bor Wong

Working with Ermina Talic at Filkow Law has been a professional and stress free experience. I highly recommend their firm to help with any legal matters. Their attention to detail, careful explanations and thorough process ensures nothing is missed, providing you with the optimal outcome for any legal issues.

Josh Singleton

This was my first time dealing with a lawyer and Kevin and his associates made me feel very comfortable. They were caring,kind and super timely from day one. I had so many questions and they clarified with me right away. I would strongly recommend Follow law for any and all needs.

Justin Johnson

Even with his busy schedule, Michael Scott was super responsive and helpful in explaining the steps involved in fighting my traffic tickets in court. I would recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance or representation. I hired Mr. Scott to represent me on several traffic citations that were issued to me. Not only was he very courteous and professional but he assured me that he would take care of my situation. Mr. Scott was able to get all of my citations dismissed and my drivers license cleared of any points. Mr. Scott's excellent reputation in the traffic court system and his knowledge of traffic law is amazing. If you’re wondering or if you received a traffic citation this is the law firm you need to hire to represent you and your family members in traffic court.

Bruce Hansen

Last year I found myself in need of serious and professional legal counsel in the Vancouver Providence of Canada. Upon calling the office of Filkow Law I had the opportunity to speak to Ms Ermina Talic, Barrister and Solicitor, about my legal matter. She did a great job of listening to the details of my case. She asked probing questions to clarify anything that I had failed to make clear. Over the course of the next year she stayed in touch with me and clearly represented my interests in a most professional manner with the court but most importantly, she successfully represented my interests, which in turn effected a fair outcome for all involved. I feel very lucky that when I called she was available. Thank you Ms. Talic.

Anthony Robinson did a great job with my case, he was able to help me get through a tough time. A lawyer that is very passionate, knowledgeable, trustworthy, he is always well prepared, explained things to us in details, and took all steps to help me get the best outcome/result for my case. Extremely glad that I was able to have him and the team over in Filkow Law defending me. Thank you for your hard work!

Gordon Fai

Matt Neale

Mr. Filkow and his team are extremely respectful and knowledgeable. His office is the epitome of what a professional law firm should be. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services to anyone.

jessie Hennigar

Incredible communication! He definately went above and beyond my expectations.

Lu Sandy

The law firm did not provide any professional view on my case and according to their points of view my chances of winning my appeal are very low. But finally I represented myself and succeeded in my appeal by making statements prepared by myself. Another thing is the law student initial thought was conveying the views of the lawyers by telephone. This is so ridiculous and non professional! He wrote an email to me providing written version of the statement after I requested, although the views are not useful for me.

Matthew Tarka

If you need a lawyer for traffic violations Michael Scott is your man! He followed up promptly and kept me updated with my legal matters. Professional and helpful. Got 5 violations dismissed on my behalf. I couldn’t be happier with his work. Definitely sharing his contact info. with friends needing help with legal matters relating to traffic violations.

Chelsea Mcrae

The whole process with Filkow Law has been amazing. From start to finish there has been amazing communication and always making sure I understand the whole process, definitely making this whole much less daunting. Thank you very much Filkow Law and of course Anthony for everything.

Johann Rosenthal

I got into a bad situation that required I get some help from a good lawyer. Kevin Filkow was recommended to me, and he did not disappoint. He helped me understand what I was really facing and what he was planning to do. In the end he got my case dismissed. I was so relieved! I could get my life back to normal. Thanks again!

Haruka Nagamatsu

I have used Filkow law and referred many people in need of the best representation on criminal law cases. The lawyers are excellent at what they do and they are highly recommended. I am grateful to know Kevin and the other lawyers. I hope I don't need to face any matters that are in need of a lawyer again but when I do, I know I will go straight to them for help.
