Reviews of Hutchison Oss-Cech Marlatt (Attorney)

Charles Mclash

Spoke with Andrew Tomlinson for a consultation. Informative, direct and I felt I got an honest opinion. No sales or pressure to pursue the issue. He was clear about what he could do and made good recommendations on my situation. Thank-you Andrew

Few in this day and age take the time to listen. My experience with Hutchison Oss-Cech dispelled this notion. I had a fantastic experiience

I have used this firm several times and they are great. Lorenzo Oss Cech is the best litigator in town to my opinion (and not just mine). He helped me with an ICBC case as well as another personal litigation and won both times. Jim Hutchison is our corporate lawyer and he has always done a good job. I have referred to them several people who have been pleased with this firm just like I have. I would highly recommend it.

I had the opportunity and pleasure of working with Esteban Kahs on a personal settlement that spanned over a year. I cannot stress how pleased I am with the outcome and how essential and informative Esteban was in navigating the proceedings and negotiations. Esteban always conducted himself at a high level of professionalism and objectiveness that I have come to respect. His strategies of negotiation and legal advice was sound from the beginning through to the final stage. His ability to foresee and strategize well in advance was critical in positioning our argument to the mediator and opposing counsel. I would recommend Esteban without hesitation to any of my friends and family - a genuine person at the core with values that I am proud to have been witness to, and a lawyer I can trust to always have my interest at heart.

Sketchy dealings in my experience. I had to fire them and switch over to someone who would actually listen and engage respectfully. Things went much better after that. If you retain and then find yourself waiting too long or you feel manipulated, know there are many better options in Victoria...

Over the past ten years, or so, my family and me have found the need to hire a lawyer for two separate, but connected, family issues. Going through these types of issues, I'm sure many people reading this know, are tough. They're stressful for everyone involved, and often take a great deal of time and energy. What helped my family both times, was dealing with the fine people at Hutchison Oss-Cech Marlatt. The staff there did an incredible job of helping us navigate the murky, and complicated waters of family law. However, I think our lawyer, John Nelson, will forever be the one who sticks out most. Talking with John, I always got the sense he understood what we were going through. He didn't try and sympathize; he empathized. He listened when we had to rant; he answered questions when we had them. He was realistic and honest at all times during his interactions with us. John told us right off the start that he couldn't guarantee any specific outcome for our case. All he could guarantee, was that he was going to work hard, in order to get my family the justice it deserved. And he did just that. I will forever be grateful to John, and all at the firm, for everything they've done so far, and everything they may do for us in the future.

Incredibly friendly and attentive staff. Barri and Dana are both spectacular and knowledgable, both are very kind and patient with their clients. They have made all processes very comfortable, and their office in Victoria is very welcoming.

Esteban Kahs superbly handled my legal disagreement with a steadfast party. Esteban's skillful application of his legal knowledge, rational appeal to reason and fairness, as well as his determined persistence, prompted the other side to realize they needed to be more reasonable.As a result, a resolution was able to be reached. I am most grateful Esteban was my advocate.

I was involved in a personal injury case that dauntingly lasted approximately 5 years. This was an unnerving experience for me however, Esteban Kahs and his team were very effective in closing my case. He is extremely professional and provided outstanding and quality services. Esteban Kahs’ knowledge and experience are very evident. He quickly understood my situation. In addition, Mr. Kahs treated me with respect and compassion. Since that time, Mr. Kahs has gone above my expectations and I am very grateful for my outcome. I highly recommend Mr. Kahs

I was working for a big national company who did not respect the agreement we had signed for a full-time position with benefits. I had moved 5,500 km, sold my thriving business for that position that was promising, and my husband left his position to find a new one. When my employer decreased my hours and tried to convince me to change the way I was paid, I consulted the Employment Standards of BC. They advised me this was considered constructive dismissal. I then, consulted two lawyers for getting justice on this matter. The first lawyer was expensive and appeared passive. She did not think I could get much more than what I would pay her. The second lawyer I met a few weeks after was Esteban Kahs of Hutchison Oss-Cech Marlatt, Barristers & Solicitors in Victoria. He gave me a free consultation which gave me the opportunity to get to know his personality, knowledge and skills. His fees to continue my case were much less than the first lawyer I met but his service was far more superior than I got with the first one. With Esteban, I had an excellent lawyer who fought hard for me. When I had an initial meeting with Esteban, I knew that I could trust him. He cared about my case, and he was concerned about my problems. His professional manner provided me with a sense of security in a stressful situation. The office staff is also courteous and calm which is very welcome when we were stressed out by the situation. Esteban Kahs took time to listen to my case and think of all the angles of it. He took my case seriously and went the extra mile to help me make an informed decision as to how to proceed. He was great in helping me get justice and a satisfying severance package. Esteban Kahs is a five-star lawyer who takes time to listen to your case and is truly knowledgeable of the laws to counsel you on the best avenues to take.

After reading websites for several law firms, I was pleased to find Hutchison Oss-Cech Marlatt. The website described their areas of practice with empathy and compassion, which is exactly the type of service we received. My partner has connected with Barri Marlatt on a couple issues. She always listens and acknowledges his needs then provides great information and advice. Thank-you!!

My experience with Mr Kahs was very helpful and he assisted me through a very difficult time! They were very cognizant of costs and were considerate of my financial situation which got me a fair deal. I will use their firm if required and would refer them to anyone in a similar situation as mine.

I had the opportunity to have Esteban Kahs as my defense attorney in a family law case. I immediately knew Esteban was the lawyer I was seeking to represent me with his tact and calming demeanor. He worked diligently on my case for nearly four years, and I fully trusted his views and professional decisions along the way. The strategies he advised were always well thought out with honesty and integrity. This was a very stressful time for me, and Esteban contested the claim to the very end and I was happy to receive the best possible outcome in the courts. I would highly recommend Esteban Kahs.

Dawn Goodwin

Lawyers helpful and sympathetic but no contingency fee arrangement available if outcome is uncertain. That is understandable.

Nicole Thompson

I am very grateful for the efficient and professional solutions provided by Sadaf Pourmand. My list of questions and concerns were responded to in a very timely manner and with well informed information. I would highly recommend her and will reach out to her again in the future if needed.

Since I only know Jim and Lorezo first hand know they are conciencous, considerate and careing and believe this is carried out throughout their firm. Their willingness to carefully look at all solutions for their clients and explain them in a way which makes it possible to understand the importance of their value to assist you. R.F. (Bob) Wallace

Mr. Oss-Cech is an effective lawyer who is willing to make the effort necessary to deal with his clients needs. He is, also, personable and intelligent. Although my matter isn't finished yet, I am absolutely pleased with his work so far.
