I was referred to Tonkin Legal by three family members who have had positive experiences. I also had a positive experience. My initial inquiry was responded to within an hour and the response was very thorough. Both team members who assisted with my file were professional and engaging, answering all of my questions and proactively progressing with the file. I recommend Tonkin legal.”
MelissaDiamond CreekI was very skeptical, anxious, nervous when I first contacted and met you from my experience which was not so good with the previous lawyer I had, but Charlie handled it so well, with every document that he drafted, that I could not have been in better hands.
