Over the past few years, I have worked closely with Dominique Harris on my family law property settlement. Her professionalism, guidance, and unwavering support carried me through every stage of the process right to the end. Thanks to her representation, I achieved an excellent outcome, and I am deeply grateful for her expertise and care. She guided me both emotionally and professionally through very testing waters at times, even those occasions when I thought I was going to give up! Highly recommend Pearsons and Dominique Harris to represent anyone going through a property settlement. Their clients’ best interest are a priority.

Response from the owner:Mary, thank you for your heartfelt review. We are so glad Dominique could stand by you through each stage of your property settlement and help you reach such a positive outcome. Your recommendation means a great deal to us.

Last year my wife and I engaged Pearsons Family Lawyers to assist with a dispute involving a contractor who carried out very poor workmanship on our home. The matter involved extensive email exchanges and ongoing pressure from the contractor.

Leanne Abela from Pearsons provided clear, practical advice at every step, particularly on how to respond and how to properly counter the contractor’s claims. Her guidance and diligence gave us confidence to pursue the matter and ultimately resulted in us not paying for work that was sub standard.

We found her and her team knowledgeable, responsive, and very easy to deal with.

We highly recommended Pearsons Family Lawyers.

Response from the owner:Marc, thank you for your detailed review. We're pleased Leanne and the team could provide the clear guidance and responsiveness you needed to resolve the contractor dispute successfully. We appreciate your recommendation.
