The reviews speak for themselves

You’ve seen law firm reviews before – but ours stand out.

Clear communication and fast results when it matters most

After a difficult workplace dispute, J.N. turned to Samfiru Tumarkin LLP for help. They weren’t sure what to expect—after all, navigating an employment law case can initially be overwhelming. But what they found was a team that prioritized clear communication, responsiveness, and real results.

“They took the time to answer my questions and always offered to hop on a call if I needed to chat through anything,” the client shared. “I always felt I could count on them to get back to me in a timely fashion. They took on my case and was able to get a fair resolution in just over a month.”

Their final takeaway? A firm that not only provides a “direct approach” but delivers a “great experience” that the client “100% recommends” to others.

More than just legal advice – Empathy that delivers results

For another client, professionalism and empathy mattered just as much as expertise. After suddenly facing a complex employment dispute, J.C. needed a legal team that understood both the legal and personal impact of their situation.

“As a CPA, I recognize professionalism when I see it,” they wrote. “While their mastery of labour law was always apparent, what I appreciated the most was their clear empathy and eagerness to work with me as a client to achieve the best possible outcome.”

That outcome? A successful resolution, handled with the right balance of strategic thinking and client care.

Decades of experience – But no firm measured up until now

Not every client who calls Samfiru Tumarkin LLP is coming in fresh. Some, like one seasoned HR consultant, have dealt with multiple employment lawyers over decades—which makes their review particularly compelling.

After growing frustrated with how their case was progressing at another local Ottawa firm, R.N. decided to reach out to Samfiru Tumarkin LLP after hearing our radio ads. What happened next was a complete contrast to their prior experience.

“To my utmost surprise, after reviewing my documents, they sent me a detailed email offering us a very viable solution—advice free of charge,” they explained. “They could have easily charged us for a full consultation but didn’t, recognizing we had already spent a considerable amount with another firm. A gesture that I have never experienced in my entire career.

It was a moment that stood out after 40+ years in HR. Their conclusion?

“My next case will be handled by Samfiru Tumarkin LLP for sure. Their knowledge and honesty have won me over for life.

Real results for Ottawa clients

When employers and insurance companies get it wrong, we make it right. Two Ottawa cases prove exactly what we do best—protecting employees and securing the compensation they deserve.

An Ottawa dental hygienist, let go after 33 years following the sale of the dental practice, was initially offered far less than what she was owed. After turning to Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, she secured 24 months’ pay—$110,294—plus legal costs, reinforcing that employers can’t sidestep their severance obligations, no matter the circumstances.

Meanwhile, an Ottawa mother battling severe depression had her long-term disability benefits abruptly cut off. When she appealed, her insurer refused to reconsider.

“The decision actually made my mental health much worse,” she recalled. Left struggling to care for her 2-year-old daughter in palliative care, she turned to our team for help through a free consultation.

She’s not alone. Samfiru Tumarkin LLP has represented countless disability claimants across Canada—including high-profile cases like those of Sandra Bullock, Julie Austin, and Mitch Murphy—ensuring that insurance companies don’t get the final say when benefits are unfairly denied. These cases prove that no matter how big the insurer, we hold them accountable.

Before you accept anything, read this

If your employer just handed you a severance package, don’t assume it’s fair. If your insurance company denied or cut off your disability claim, don’t assume they’re right.

Too many people accept less than they’re owed—because they don’t know their rights.

  • Severance in Ontario can be up to 24 months’ pay, even if your employer claims otherwise.
  • Insurance companies can’t cut off legitimate short and long-term disability claims if your doctor says you can’t work.
