I have worked with Stephen Schmidt on numerous issues over the years. With a friendly and personable demeanour, he has always been professional, has handled sensitive issues in a prompt and efficient manner, and was unfailingly patient with my questions through the process. He has represented me with excellence, protected my interests, and made me feel safe during difficult/complicated transitions. I have recommended him to numerous friends and family members through the years and I unequivocally recommend him for assistance with your legal manners.

Toktam Sani

Would not recommend . I've had a basic inquiry, and my pplication process has been ongoing since Sep and still no result. I have NO idea where I am in the process. Also their customer service is awefull, the receptionist's answer to any question is "I don't Know". The communications is terrible, you cannot reach the lawyer, Stephen Schmidt who you hired unless he feels in the mood! Stephen Schmidt provided zero updates, did not return phone calls or e-mails he even does not respond to your follow up request!

My wife and I worked with Ian Restall on recommendation from our real estate agent to purchase our house. Ian walked us through the details of purchasing our home and helped us feel comfortable with our decision. His rate is fairly competitive and I will be using his services in the future.

Al Shane

John Restall has been our family Solicitor for 35+ years and has never let us down. Always providing quality legal services and advice. I'd advise using his services.

Paul Ingram

Always welcoming and pleasant to work with

R Wiebe

A feeling of care and concern, friendly staff

Hans Minish

After our youngest was born my wife and I deicded we'd better look into getting a will. We were referred to Sean Restall at Restall & Restall LLP who we found to be very knowledgable, professional, and patient as he addressed all our questions. We ended up setting up a will as well as a power of attorney and Sean was very upfront with his rates which we found to be quite fair. We would recommend Sean again in a heartbeat!

Josie Koschik

Excellent service

Laura Maciel

They helped us with all legal matters when we were buying our house and seemed to be great. However, few months later we had some serious issues with our house builder and our lawyer (I’m not gonna mention names here) simply didn’t answered our calls or emails to help us clarifying some contract clauses. I tried to contact him several times by email, phone calls, voice message, I even begged to his assistant, but nobody ever returned our calls. I felt that after they got the money, they disappeared and didn’t offer any support. Very unprofessional, I don’t recommend this company!

Took the time to explain the legal jargon. Very helpful.

Stephen Schmidt is a top notch lawyer and truly a great guy. He definitely removes the stigma of the type of people lawyers are.

Aaron Peterson

Stephen has always handled both my personal and professional legal matters with competence, professionalism, and care. His attention to detail and personable approach are much appreciated.

Pawel Kuzemczak

Would not recommend if you deal with this firm remotely (from another province or country). I had a few basic estate matters, 3 administration renunciations, 1 administration application, 4 affidavits. Legal admin (Yolande) provided conflicting information to different parties involved which significantly extended the process. There should be some level of competence at this level. Stephen Schmidt on the other hand, provided absolutely no updates, did not return phone calls or e-mails upon follow ups, certainly did not review any of admin staff work as initial copies contained spelling mistakes of surnames and addresses. In my line of work, they wouldn't last the probation period. As it stands, application process was ongoing since November of 2018, R&R wasted about 6-8 months of time while bills accrued. The timing of the legal work is border line negligent and would deserve a formal complaint with the law society but I’d leave that to the next client. Update on the case and what potential customers may consider doing in regards to their more basic estate matters. It took 2 weeks to obtain the order of administration from the bench after R&R failed to do so. This required explanatory letter to judge of case at hand, unnecessary but required MB residency and roughly 4 months for title changes, tax filings, clearance letters and property sale/distribution. Your potential course of action: 1. Fire R&R, i.e serve with notice to appear in person instead, both R&R and probate desk. 2. Visit probate/estate desk, ask the clerk on whats needed to be filed, obtain form numbers, go online, print, fill out and wait. Get rejected, pay 5 dollar fee, fix and file again. Rinse and repeat, can be frustrating but you have some ability to control it, obtain updates/feedback and certainly much more timely than R&R process. Best of luck to everyone needing legal assistance. I can tell you that even with my full time job and travel commitments, you can do a much better job on your own.

Ian Restall is Friendly and efficient. Even met us on a Saturday to sign the paper work for our home

Barry Horeczy

Simply the best. Explains legalise to the common folk.Honest returned $10 cash.in an envelope after he had to shake down the Royal Bank in Toronto to release monies in a real estate deal . Monies in a simple house purchase should have been forward from Manitoba to Ontario in a corporate move with Can West to Ottawa from Winnipeg. When Ian rang their bell. It happened quickly. Results with humality . I currenty work at RENX Commerical Real Estate News. I'm the Editor. Many Thanks Ian .

Mike Thom

We recently worked with Stephen Schmidt on the sale of our old home and purchase of a new one. He was very helpful and extremely easy to work with. Stephen explained everything and communicated well with us. Everything was great. He is friendly, thoughtful, and looks out for his clients. We highly recommend him.
