Reviews of Jane Mckenzie Family Law (Attorney)

Corinne D

Thank you Jane. Just came from your office and have to say how informative and knowledgeable you were, helping us weed through all the paperwork during this difficult time. You were professional and courteous. I will be recommending you to my friends and family.

Sadly absolutely useless. When you mention her name to other local family lawyer's they wince.

Jim Martin

Sadly, in my personal experience I found Ms. McKenzie to be most unprofessional, inept, rude and offensive. She demonstrated a level of incompetence that I found quite shocking to her profession. Repeatedly she demonstrated that she was unprepared for scheduled appointments, necessitating frequently covering ground previously covered numerous times before. This disorganization and unpreparedness, is suffered of course, at the expense of her clients, both in terms of much wasted time and financial costs. In my case, I suffered the loss of thousands of dollars, and received absolutely no benefit to the resolution of my legal matter. I have been forced to start all over again with another attorney. I would strongly urge anyone considering retaining Ms. McKenzie's services to give careful consideration before doing so. Ms McKenzie should come under the careful scrutiny of the Law Society of Upper Canada, if she hasn't yet.

Avoid at all cost.

Jane is very thorough and is really good on her follow ups. I am very pleased with what I have seen in regards to her efficacy.

Chris Gardner

Her attention to detail really sets her apart in my eyes.

Terri Leigh Cowan

I didn't hire Ms. McKenzie to assist me with my family law situation however my children's father did. I met her for the first time today in the court house. All I can say is that she is very unprofessional and rude. I would not hire this woman.

Elyse Greentree

I called Jane via telephone, she was very personable and helpful. When I need a lawyer she will be my go too.

When my fiancé was going through a custody battle back in 2010/2011 Jane did not represent him properly at all. She would be little ,him yell at him over the phone get, and get frustrated when he told her what he wanted. This was the first time ever going to court to even had a agreement made up. She pretty much forced him into signing a horrible court agreement because he was 21yrs old at the time and didn't know better and when he spoke up she would yell at him. Simply we were suppose to trust her in helping us not make matters worse. It was fighting with a brick wall who thought she was better then us . Even when I spoke up or did research she would kick me out of the room when I would bring up certain things which then lead me to always waiting out side of the room and I could hear her raising her voice at him. She used none of the evidence we had build up against the mother of his children. She was very ignorant throughout the whole process and would always get frustrated with us. Never had proper mannerisms or even treating us with respect as human beings when it came to dealing with us. Yes we were young but this was no excuse to her mannerisms or how she treated us. Jane treated us like children and was horrible to deal with especially when a father was trying to fight for rights to the children who was never a bad father to begin with in the first place. The whole family law system already sides with the mother but to have your own lawyer work against you is unbelievable. This isn't me being baised because we had a extremely great lawyer the second time around Allison Hines. Who sees the struggles and flaws in the family law court system it was a completely different experience we had . other FLICK lawyers reviewed our court order and couldn't believe what she did to us. But did state she is known for certain things.I hate to pull the race card but this could have been a role in how she treated us with being different ethnicities other then white. My fiance is a of Jamaican background and I myself of Filipino and Portuguese. She was extremely nice over the phone and was glad to help us before meeting us in person. This just is a thought based on over the years thinking about the whole experience and being more mature and experiencing life and the difficulties of being a minority in today's society. Also with that being said when we went to her office to meet her for the first time that's when it all went to hell. When we went back to court for the second time, she refused to give us the documents we had given to her to copy and give back to us the orginals. But she never did give us them back and then wanted to charge us for the copies to which it was a letter from the mother of the children and disturbing photographs with notes written behind them. Also when we got a better lawyer Alison Hines she wanted to charge her as well for the documents and was ignorant and rude. I have no idea if Jane has changed but morally I would not recommend this lawyer to anyone.

Tasha Jackson

wouldn't even give her one star, absolutely horrible. Quit on me the DAY before my court hearing. Wouldnt ever recommend her to anyone. Absolutely unorganized.

Brandon Richard

Terrible lawyer I called this morning and laid out my case in detail to this woman. During the call she seemed very disorganized and very dismissive. I am well aware the not all lawyers are willing to take on every case, however she was asking questions and then in the middle of it all she said and Iquote " I cant help you, I'm very busy the morning" then hung up! As a businessman this is a terrible way to treat potential clients. Look elsewhere

Simmyles

Jane Is such a caring, thoughtful and understanding lawyer. I spoke with her once via telephone and she took the time out to provide me with the necessary information. I'f I'm ever in need of a lawyer, she will be my first option.

Martina Schumann

Worst Lawyer. Enough said go if you plan to throw money away, and have her act like valueless when being paid in full.

Josh Watson

0 Stars! Terrible experience! Waste of time and money Should be reprimanded!

Emily Campbell

Jane has been helping my Fiancé and I get through a difficult battle with the mother of his children. She has gone above and beyond to help us understand the ropes and get us through this long case. She is professional and knows the insides and outs of the law. I highly recommend her.

Robin Hearn

I highly recommend Jane. She is efficient, matter of fact with a wealth of experience. Her attention to detail is remarkable. I have been very pleased with the service and knowledge she has provided.

Matt Sky

Horrible all she wanted was money and did not want to address any issues.

Adeel Ahmad

One of the worst and incompetent lawyer I ever seen, she dosent know how to handle case. Its better to give money in charity instead of hiring her.

Angel Ortolan

Jane was so very helpful. I've been trying to decipher how to handle a family law situation for 2 years now and no one could help me. She provided me with a response and it has made all the difference. She knows her stuff.

Carolyn Moore

I found Jane to be very knowledgeable and caring.

Michelle Ayala Martinez

Jane is a very approacheable business woman who is very caring and understanding. She is always working hard to meet her clients needs and going the extra mile to make sure they are comfortable. Being in business for over 25 years she is very knowledgable in her field of practise and always eager to learn more that can benefit her clients!

Curtis Grant

One of the worse lawyer in town,please avoid from going there, she very unprofessional on every levels.

rate custody

I was self represented against Jane and she would ask me if I was a lawyer when I tried speaking to her and would intimidated me into believing she would get restraining order against me and never let me see my daughter if I argued her. She lied to court many times and mix represented the case to cover her unacceptable mistakes as a family lawyer, forgetting to file court documents, not following proper court procedures, just simply being pathetic. I will make all judges aware of how this lawyer treated me and everything she did wrong. Currently few judges and duty counsel and child parent place and many lawyers in town are aware of this unprofessional pathetic lawyer. Kitchener mayor needs to know as well. I don't want nobody else to be treated the way I was with this "family lawyer". She also refers to other lawyers as crooks, when in reality she's the one who's breaking charter of rights of innocent citizens.

John Stopford

The best ways i can describe our experience with Jane begin with "in". Inept, inefficient, ineffective, insulting, intolerable. Asked for the same details many times. Chronically disorganized and truly unable to discuss anything at the appropriate time. She was insulting and rude to my wife and then had the temerity to tell me how one speaks with a lawyer, as if she isn't a contracted service provider. Avoid her, your money and time is best spent elsewhere. She is, unfortunately, a lawyer. In much the same way as McDonald's is, unfortunately a restaurant: perhaps convenient, lower cost, but ultimately not a satisfactory service
