I was in a way referred to Mr. Afolabi's offices via a close friend who had retained his services in the past. Even before our initial phone call, without having had spoken to Mr. Afolabi, I was imbued with great faith in his ability to both council clients through complex legal structures and litigate in the courtroom. My prior confidence, while admittedly secondhand, came as a result of the front row seat I'd occupied throughout my friend's lengthy legal battle. Mr. Afolabi delivered justice for my friend, despite significant hurdles along the way. He single handedly snatched victory from the jaws of defeat on more than one occasion.
For those reasons I reached out to the Kitchener offices of Afolabi law more than a year later, when I myself suddenly required immediate legal council. Despite my situation falling outside Mr. Afolabi's main scope of practice (criminal defense, domestic abuse, sexual assault), I was desperate and needed immediate advice, so called anyway. My call was answered on the second ring and I still remember the relief I felt knowing that suddenly I wasn't alone. As dramatic as that sounds, when caught in the middle of a stressful situation, unfolding in real time, the support of a highly qualified professional cannot be understated. Without getting into granular detail, my situation involved contract law, property rights and at one point the potential use of force to protect myself and my property from unscrupulous individuals I had hired online to do some general labour. Mr. Afolabi was able to quickly and concisely analyze the situation over the phone, inform me of my rights and then suggest immediate actions. He was able to review a contract I had signed between myself and the other party and then draft a letter threatening legal action, with a evidentiary basis, within hours of my call. He even made a number of calls to the "leader" of the other party, calls that saw them almost immediately capitulate and diffuse the situation. Mr. Afolabi's availability, calm demeanor, and strategic thinking, despite an incredibly hostile and quickly devolving situation, were the keys that unlocked a very favourable outcome for myself, my property and, objectively, for justice.
I now use Afolabi Law to review all contractual agreements I enter into and whenever I am in need of legal advice. As someone who has been on the frontlines of a legal dispute, and who will likely be there again, I can't recommend Lakin highly enough. Call him and bring the hammer of justice down upon the seemingly endless conga line of scumbags out there.
