I highly recommend Mr. Tony (Anthony) Kramreither as one of the best and most knowledgeable corporate and commercial law lawyers. Both my clients and I have worked with him and have been extremely satisfied with the exceptional legal services he provides. Tony is not only highly skilled but also incredibly responsive, always considering every aspect of a case to ensure the best outcome for his clients.

Any professionals plus anyone else out there in any sort of troubles, all I say about Neil Abramson is that He is my hero. He is a rock. He is honest unlike many lawyers I have spoken to from country's best lawyers to second and third best lawyers. He is above all of them. He is super transparent. I thank him everyday in my prayers from bottom of my heart. He will fight for you and he has a brain 10 times smarter than many lawyers. He is genius. I will take all the words from dictionary to say all good things about him and still not be done searching to find more words. He is indeed the best. He is your hope and faith. He is a symbol of what lawyer should be. He stands between you and anyone else. He listens and feels your pain. He will always do best for his clients. He will not stop and keep going. Neil Abramson- You are my hero.

Stay away! I had a horrible experience with Torkin Manes. I don’t recommend them at all. Especially, Rebecca Longpre.

Took $120k from me, violated LSO Code of Conduct by leaving me after she came to mediation completely ill prepared and then indicated after 5 hours of paid work for 2 lawyers and a mediator (over $2100 per hour), that we should get my ex to do some more numbers and reconvene? This was after mediation had already been delayed a few times due to her schedule and the opposing lawyer (more time to request more VISA statements and tax returns…yes another tax return…at what point are you ready Laurie?). A day later, when I started to realize the shock of what just happened, I told Laurie Pawlitza to get clarification from the mediators notes, which were very nebulous, before I would move further. Instead of doing this, she quit, siting me as the problem. She left my case at a critical time, violated LSO standards and clearly told me that she was not worried at all about LSO. She left me vulnerable with my separation, giving my husband and his attorney increased power. I followed directions given by the LSO and reached out to the managing partner there, not once, but twice, to achieve resolution. The second time, I was ignored. I was told that the managing partner was satisfied with what Laurie had told him and that he did not need to take it further. I have reported this to the LSO, along with heaps of evidence, including a taped conversation. There is no doubt about what happened to me. This is a clear demonstration that the very system that is supposed to protect vulnerable people who have an ignorance about the law, are the very people stealing money, time and emotional wellbeing of people like me. Do not use this firm. I was ripped off by a woman who dismissed me and left me hanging while not following the very laws that she purports to uphold with the clients she takes on….at least it did happen to me. Don’t let it happen to you. I signed a separation agreement in December of 2023, without a lawyer because I was worn down and couldn’t take it anymore. This cost me14 months of hell that I am trying to still recover from. I let go of the settlement that I should have got because this was harming me and my children. I hope to God that someone does something about this. It is just so wrong for Torkin Manes and specifically, Laurie Pawlitza, to get away with it. Isn’t it?
