Reviews of Kaufmann Dockrill & Associates p.c. (Notary Public)

Tracy Robertson

Very professional staff. The lawyers go above and beyond for their clients. Definately have associates to cover any legal issue.

Kim Kiddle

I am not a client of this law firm. My spouse is. I have been involved in meetings with her legal team and have seen not only the professionalism but also the compassion and understanding that sometimes it's tough. This law firm has always been attentive , and always goes above and beyond. Thank you

David Laite

Bad experience here with my home purchase. I have been recommending other options. Run AWAY

Peter George

This was the fifth house myself and my wife have sold, although the real estate lawyer himself was very professional, the staff did not provide me with the information I requested in a timely manner. I had to send a reminder email, not what I would have expected.

Closed on our house a month and a half ago and we are still waiting on a package of documents from this firm... We weren't all that impressed with our experience at KDA. We found the communication to be below average, and overall just felt that we were not well taken care of. Luckily, our home purchase was pretty simple - if it were more complicated, we think the experience would have been even worse.

Terrible customer service! Definitely not who you want to deal with when buying your fist house.

Kim and Elizabeth

I have been using this law firm for some time now. I have always found the staff to be professional , courteous , transparent, and understanding. As you walk through the doors you are greeted by the receptionist who quickly attends to your needs. I have had experience with law clerks and lawyers in this firm and I have received excellent service. I have recommended Kaufmann, Dockrill and Associates and will continue to do so. Thank you!

Sean Dicks

What a bad experience. 5 weeks later and I'm still having problems. From bad customer service to blame game . The office forgot to sign a cheque they sent to the bank delaying the pay off of a bridge loan which I had to pay interest on (credited by the bank). This guy is too busy and doesn't have time to take care of his clients. Very poor!

C Haight

Fantastic staff, I've used many times

Matt Cain

Very well educated and knowledgeable

James Flanagan

These guys are great. I first saw them 4 years ago for a home purchase. There have since been ongoing complications with the property, and they have been very supportive. The lawyers are very personable, know their stuff, and will take the time to explain everything.

Recently used this team for home purchase services. I was blown away with how friendly everyone was that I interacted with inside this building. As for the legal services rendered - absolutely spot on. Everything was broken down and explained to us for every piece of work that they were doing. This team really made it feel like the not only enjoyed what they do but they want their services to be the best in the area. Very fast response times from any phone call or email. Incredibly informative. Professional messaging. If I am ever in need of similar services or had to recommend them to someone else needing the same - KDA would for sure be my legal go to for services they offer. Amazing job and thanks very much for everything.

We remortgaged though them, and had nothing but problems: paperwork with incorrect information, made an appointment at the Trenton office, but they sent the paperwork to Belleville, then made us wait 45 minutes before they realized they could just print out another copy...they even screwed up our closing date! Avoid this firm!!!

KDA Law, This firm is a very open friendly environment. As a placement student I was very nervous at first. The whole team made me welcomed. Whenever I had questions, I didn't have hesitation to ask, as they were willing to take the time to explain their answer or instructions. They willingly taught me all areas of practice in their firm, and took the time to answer questions about why they chose those areas to work in. Thank you KDA Law for being an amazing first placement, and introducing me to quite a few different areas of law, I could potentially see myself working in down the road. I wish them all the best for 2022 and hope they and their loved ones have a joyous holiday season.

This review is subject to change and will be based off of the satisfaction and outcome of assisting our family. I hope the result is a 5 star but time will tell. Thanks Karinda

DOUG COWAN

Great lawyer we had here

Valerie Griffin

I was trying to hire Karinda Dockrill as my family lawyer because she is considered the best in the area. She was too busy so I was offered her "protegée" Lauren Hawn. At first I was disappointed because I felt I was getting the assistant. I couldn't have been more wrong. Lauren is fiercely professional. She has an unmatchable attention to detail. She was able to help me keep focused rather than let my ex's games get to my head. It took a long time to get a decision thanks to the delays caused by my ex, but her fees were affordable for this single mother and the payment plan was geared to me. In the end I have sole custody of my daughter and I have Lauren to thank. I have also used their real estate lawyer Matthew Ward for a few transactions over the years and never been disappointed. I fully intend to continue using their services as needed.

JAY LANDRY

Outstanding staff, service and the ability to complete the task at hand. They seem to be well ahead of other agencies, always keeping clients apprised of changing circumstances,,a pleasure doing business with you. Well done.

Mariana Puia

I bought a house and choose this law firm to do the paperwork. After some shopping around I've decided to go with them based in the fee I was told $850. When I got all the paperwork, surprise, surprise! Now my bill is $1800!!!!!!!! Taxes and disbursements that is more than the fee itself!!! So people BEWARE!!!!! I'll hate to see this happening to other people!!!! Make sure you ask about everything, as all the extras adding up to more than 100% than the initial fee.

Alexander Wilson

A few problems with the sale of my house and kda was able to help me through them all. They even sent me my mall that got delivered to the old address. Would highly recommend

Wade Barker

Not very good and expensive

Wendy Hook

Wonderful and helpful.

Peter Hughes

2nd time here will use them again very friendly people go out of there way to help Thank you KDA

Jessica Laws

Have had a great experience with the lawyers at the firm as well as with the assistants.

Alicia

We had a great experience with KDA law when we renewed our mortgage and consolidated our debt. Teresa was very accommodating and made the process seamless for us. We will use them again when this term is up.

Kevin Gordon

Best family lawyer in Belleville, and it's not really close between the best and the rest.

Theresa Bsiley

I have used his services twice. I found the staff very pleasant and helpful. Would definitely use again.

John Sedgwick

My wife and I, both lawyers by training, recently bought a house in PEC and used Kaufmann Dockrill and Associates (Matthew Ward) and they were excellent, especially their real estate clerk Amanda N. She made our home purchase a breeze!

Marissa Nelson

Lauren is an amazing attorney. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you Lauren.

Samantha Miles

The staff at KDA are very friendly, caring and treat you like you are their own family. They are always very fast at getting back to you with any questions you have. I highly recommend them!

Ryan MD

Just brutal service. Everything seemed fine when first dealing with the sale of our house. There was even a complication that they were accommodating with. But once it was time to process the funds everything fell apart. Miscommunication after miscommunication led to no one taking ownership of any of the problems, leaving us the client feeling very unimportant. Have used them several times before, but this will be our last.

John D

When I called around for fee quotes they were one of the best! The lawyer explained all costs involved and it in the end it was accurate and also the same as my broker told me to budget for. I guess after 30+ years they know what they are doing!! ????

Donald Leger

Unbelievable Closed the sale of my condo on June 30th (2015). Not a return call or letter for my questions and concerns and it's December 16/15. I live in Frankford and 80% of my neighbours work at the base, and every chance I had I told them the avoid this law firm (they opened an office in Trenton). I won't go into all the details, but they don't care about what the real estate laws are in Ontario. I had to print pages to bring in from the Ontario gov't website, which they've obviously don't care about. I wouldn't work with any realtor that referred me to them. Sometimes your better off not supporting local business in Quinte.

Andrew Heard

We used Kaufmann Dockrill & Associates to do the legal work on the selling of our house as well as the purchase of our new property! Definitely 5 stars, thier extremely reasonably priced and very efficient at getting all legal matters settled. Was a very smooth process with them. Highly recommended ????

samantha Tribecka

Lauren Hawn is the most arrogant, self centered Witch i've ever heard tell of! My friend is too afraid to say anything in case this double crossing witch does something to her case but, I'm not afraid of her! People need to be told this! She has nothing better to do but, talk about her staff behind their backs! Nice Boss!! NOT!

Sydney Smith

I called this place originally looking for a lawyer to handle my first house purchase. They were accommodating. I received a call later that day from a lawyer saying they can accomodate and I received a quote between $1500-2000. All is well, until I called them back today. The receptionist who's filling in for the one on vacation was extremely rude and short. I was simply calling to ask if they credit first time home buyers land transfer tax instantly or if you have to pay and wait for a credit. The response was "we don't give legal advice over the phone". This isn't legal advice it's literally asking if I need to bring more money or not. The secretary took my name and number down but I have yet to hear back. As soon as I called Jeffrey Murray Law, they were able to give me an answer right away, including a newly refreshed email quote. If you want to save some time, call Jeffrey Murray Law, they'll actually help you.

I used them for reality (Trenton office) when I bought my house and they were great. Then years later had a seperation I was dealing with and decided to use the same firm so I set up an appointment with the new Belleville location. I get a laywer by the name of Cory Deyarmond and he is abousluty a mess holes in his office walls and not very helpful at all. Says one price like 900 the first time we meet and then the second time it goes up another 400 and then he takes over 2 months to have a basic seperation agreement written up and mailed (not registered, even with the amount he charges) HE IS NOT WORTH 300/hr, Lauren Hawn is just as bad but she only charges 195/hr. So I guess what I'm saying is use at own risk but I would shop around first.

Heidi Frude

I have recently worked with Cory Deyarmond, and am very pleased with how our case has ended. He was very professional, understanding, and always made sure I was aware of what was going on. He took the time to understand my case and my point of view. He has truly helped ensure that my daughters life is going in the right direction. He has changed our life for the better. I would absolutely recommend him as a family lawyer!

Eric Delbianco

Worst law firm ive ever dealt with for a home sell/purchase. They lack professionalism when it came to the paperwork. They didnt seem like they cared when it came to some of the finer details. I would never recommend or use this firm to anyone you’d be better off dealing with it yourself.

Colleen Fleury

Friendly, knowledgeable service
