Stephanie Hale

I highly recommend Hazlo Law. I worked with Hugues Boisvert and his team, and everyone was amazing. Very professional, caring and listened to what the needs were and achieved that with ease. They made the process as easy as possible, and kept the best interests of the business and clients in mind.

Peter Lovisek

This firm was not completely transparent about billing and I found their advice to be poor.

Veronica Farmer

I recently sought counsel from HazloLaw. I am an entrepreneur with a growing professional services company and we needed legal assistance in finalizing a contractual matter. I found the HazloLaw team to be very responsive, practical and measured in their guidance. I was very comfortable and confident in the end result and the experience. I would strongly recommend Hazlolaw to business owners.

HazloLaw did an excellent job on our international business case. We were looking to establish a company in Bulgaria and had no idea where to start. Martin Aquilina took care of everything for us: contacting the right authorities, making arrangements for incorporation in Bulgaria, translating, notarizing, and couriering documents, and setting us up with accounting services to manage our taxes and payroll. HazloLaw was extremely knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire project. We are now successfully established and operating in Bulgaria, thanks to Martin and the rest of the team at HazloLaw. We will continue to use their services for any international legal work. Highly recommended!

Contacted them looking for a good business lawyer. Some of the information wasn't setup properly when we began and we need a good lawyer for multiple things. I was hoping to have a consultation to get some advice, and see what we need moving forward, as well as get directed to an initial form I need. However, I'm pretty sure the legal secretary (or whoever answers the phone) took us for a small corporation because I wanted to look this one form over myself; (she probably thought that due to my lack of legal knowledge). She dismissed my inquiry, recommended a 'cheaper firm' (which was never an issue for us). She said 'good luck' and hung up on me. I'll try another legal firm, thanks. Edit Regarding their response: While I do appreciate every business that replies to social media reviews; I did try to get a consultation. That was my exact wording and request when I called. Unfortunately before it could get to that point, the person on the phone did not deem my call worth their time and literally hung up on me after saying 'good luck'. So there was no way for me to get a consultation.

If you have some business law requirements and are looking for legal advice for your firm I highly recommend reaching out to Hazlo Law. I had a couple of questions which another lawyer was unable / uncertain to comment on. Mr. M. Aquilina was very professional and knowledgeable. He spoke to each of the points I was conceded about, as well as expanding into potential related issues. Which gave me a full picture and understanding of a complex issue. I have dealt with a few lawyers before in my own business as well as when working with clients; and Mr. Aquilina’s expertise and personable nature is above and beyond expectations. Highly Recommend. Thank you Mr. Aquilina.

David Brighten

As a professional and small business owner I have worked with Hazlo Law for many years. I have only been 100% satisfied and have referred many others to this excellent firm. Hugues Boisvert and more recently Martin Aquilina have been highly responsive, very genuine, professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them for commercial and tax matters.

Karyn Standen

I had the pleasure and good fortune to work with Martin Aquilina regarding the settlement of an international Estate that also involved commercial property. The matter was complex and involved extensive property in two countries. That Mr. Aquilina is highly skilled in these matters was apparent to me from the beginning. But what set Mr. Aquilina apart from other legal counsel, in my view, was his ability to hone into the very root of the issue, discern the risks and opportunities that were not readily apparent on the surface, and develop a strategic response that resulted in a very satisfactory outcome. Mr. Aquilina's skill and strategic analysis ensured that at all times I was confident that my file was being successfully executed and that my interests were protected. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Mr. Aquilina again and happily recommend his services.

David Hayes

Amazing service. Top notch insights. Would never use anyone else.

Valentine Gurfinkel

Beautiful office, fantastic people.

Josh G

Highly recommend Hazlo Law!!! I have been working with Hugues and his team for the last several years and am extremely happy the level of service I get. Their response time and turn around time is amazing. Hugues has helped with a number of complex situation including cross border merger. If you are looking for a boutique firm with amazing service and even better value, Hazlo is your firm.

Called for their urgent help, they told me to call back the next day then couldn't get direct contact to a lawyer, waited for few days. Still never called me back... Not professional nor responsive.

Dean Blachford is an exceptional tax litigator: smart, effective, kind and compassionate. He knows the law and he gets the job done. But most importantly, he cares about the people who come to him for help. I have nothing but praise for Dean for his efficient and prompt resolution of my issue.

Frederic Laurin

Hugues has been my lawyer and business partners for more than 10 years and I have always been very appreciative of his services. The firm offers great service as well as good business knowledge.

Dean was very patient with me as I explained my tax situation to him. He then clearly explained the different options open to me. I felt he is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience dealing with CRA and the tax system, and gave me clarity and confidence on how to move forward. He is very friendly and professional, and I highly recommend him.

Gilles Hebert

HazloLaw was recommended by my accountants to deal with a CRA Tax issue and I have been working with Dean Blachford over the last several months. I have only positive things to say about my experience with him and Hazlo Law ! He is knowledgeable, professional, on time and is great at explaining the coming steps in the process, with tremendous accuracy actually. I highly recommend Mr. Blachford to anyone needing assistance in dealing with Tax related issues, and I would not hesitate to reach out to that firm if I had business or international law related issues in the future.

Sandra Greenly

We are an Ontario Dairy Farm family. We've had two occasions where we've employed the services of Martin Aquilina of HazloLaw. The first involved a dispute with a company over service bills from a substandard robotic milking system they sold us and the second involved advising and helping us with solar panel lease contracts with a European company. Martin's expertise and personable nature is beyond anything we've ever encountered. We were given his name from another Dairy Farmer and were apprehensive in contacting a "big city" corporate lawyer for our needs. We are incredibly grateful that we did. Beyond the top-notch, attentive, indispensable legal advise and services Martin provided, his personal approach with us has to be what we deem as most valued. Even though he and his office are over 250km away from us, everything was able to be done over the phone and internet. He was as convenient as the town lawyer 2km away. Martin Aquilina is now the only lawyer we will use for our business farm needs and we recommend him to all our business friends and neighbours.

More than excellent

Kingson LIM

HazloLaw is the best law firm in Ottawa, no question about it. Straight shooters, Hugues and his associates are terrific people and bring a human side to law. They are pragmatic and realistic. I can't think of anyone else that I want on my side.

Ghazal A

Our experience with HazloLaw was excellent. Hugues and Dayanys are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. They answered all of our questions and were easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this firm.

Marcel Castonguay

Dean Blachford helped my client with an appeal to the Canada Revenue Agency and Department of Justice. Dean was very professional and efficient in dealing with us, our client, CRA and the Department of Justice. Dean is an excellent communicator with a compassionate personality. Due to Dean’s diligence and expertise, our trial date with the Tax Court was cancelled and my client received a very favourable settlement. I highly recommend Dean’s services.

Nicole White

I highly recommend Hazlolaw. Hugues and his team were very professional and thorough in their attention to detail. They guided me throughout every step of the transaction and empowered me to make informed decisions. Even though I’m the sole proprietor of my business, Hazlolaw made it feel like I had a team of people working for me to give my business the best start possible.

Michelle H

Not only did Martin help with the questions I had, he also provided me with reassurance and detailed explanations about my case. He also went above and beyond by supplying me with all the extra information about things I didn't even think of. Even though I have a tiny company, I still felt like a valuable and important client whose needs were just as important as anyone else's. Very pleased and definitely would recommend.

Hal Pieroway

Needed a little quick legal advice. Spoke with Martin, it was sorted out by phone. Speedy and timely, clear and concise.

Susan T

I contacted HazloLaw for advice on a case involving international taxes. Martin replied quickly to my request and generously spent an hour with me discussing our options. He was very knowledgeable about all the aspects of a complex case which involves many jurisdictions. I would not hesitate to use their services in the future.

Larry Rooney

I highly recommend HazloLaw and the services I received from this law firm and in particular one of their lawyers, DEAN BLACHFORD. Why? To begin: he earned my trust and confidence from the very begining of our professional relationship; exhibiting a very professional communication ability that inspired confidence throughout the course of our court case with CRA which we won because they eventually dropped their case charges against me. As a component of his communication skills was the fact of his availability to respond to any of my inquiries as well as keeping me abreast of developments relative to our case. I was most impressed by his legal knowledge and acumen. In closing I highly recommend both the firm and Dean Blachford. Lawrence Rooney

Stefan Balatchev

HazloLaw has always provided on-time, highly efficient service to our company.

Kevin Bailey

Thanks to Martin’s knowledge of international legal procedures, we were able to avoid a costly trial and settle a seven figure claim for under six figures (legal fees included). Martin and his team kept us focused on our objectives, took the lead to lay out multiple scenarios and managed the process for us via email and phone to minimize the time spent for all involved. I would not hesitate to recommend Martin to any company engaged in an international legal dispute.
