From my first call to them to see if they could help, the entire process and conclusion of my case I have only had good experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ When I looked up firms that may be able to help with the situation I was in, Samfiru Tumarkin came out on top and after their help, I can see why! I was quickly connected with Jon Pinkus and Chantal MacLeod, who I really appreciate for navigating the process. This was my first time in this kind of situation, but Jon and team quickly answered any questions and concerns I had, both throughout the week and weekends. I saw early on Jon’s expertise, as he explained the steps, the outcomes and the various laws and concepts I was trying to catch up on. I could tell that Jon’s team was working around the clock, and received quick updates and turn around times. He often offered calls to help clarify anything that came up and in the end, I was very happy with the resolution. Hopefully the situation doesn’t come up again, but if it does, I know I can reach out to Jon and his firm. Thank you Jon and Chantal!

Alex H.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ JON PINKUS I have used Samfiru Tumarkin 2 times now for employee related issues. Most recently I had the pleasure of working with JON PINKUS. Jon was simply a pleasure to deal with. He provided quick , thorough, no nonsense advice and un rushed answers to my questions. He is clear and concise and I had full faith in how he was handling all aspects of my case. The especially great thing about Jon is how fast he responds to emails, anytime of day, 24/7, Jon would get back to me…. I highly recommend both Samfiru Tumarkin AND Jon Pinkus. In times of need, they are the only call I make. There is just no reason to go elsewhere for your Employment Law needs. I recommend them to both friends and Business associates alike. Im glad they were in my corner when I was treated so unfairly by my employer. They jumped in and took full control. In retrospect, I dont know what I would have done without them. Thank you Samfiru Tumarkin, AND THANK YOU JON!

Tom D.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I first contacted Samfiru Tumarkin in Dec. 2021 and was connected to Jon Pinkus and his assistant. First interactions went well. Jon explained the process and what his role was and how he could help me. Jon did not rush me to make a quick decision and I appreciated this. It made my decision to choose him as my lawyer really easy. Jon was patient answering all of my questions and he always did so in a timely manner which is important to me. Jon would respond within the day or the following day if he was in court. I observed Jon worked late into the evenings and this was based on the times of his email responses. We have just finished my legal proceedings which went well. Jon was diligent, professional and thorough (he put me at ease so I felt comfortable during the meeting) he worked to get me the best possible results. Jon did a great job and I would definitely recommend him and this firm Samfiru Tumarkin to friends, family and other professionals who may find themselves in this same position.

Didn’t think lawyers would respond to questions evenings, Saturdays & Sundays but Jon does! Would absolutely recommend Jon to anyone needing an employment lawyer!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had the pleasure of working with Jon Pinkus at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. Jon was very responsive, truly knowledgeable, and always available.

I had never dealt with a legal team before in my career and I was so stressed out but Jon’s compassion and understanding made the whole ordeal less stressful.

Charles C.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was recently dismissed from my job and although I will not disclose the details, it was totally unexpected. When issues like this arise, it is extremely important to talk to a lawyer who is experienced in these areas. Someone recommended, Jon Pinkus, at Samfiru Tumarkin and with a little apprehension, I decided to give them a try. From the very first conversation I had with Jon, I felt very confident he would work with my best interests in mind. He is very professional and makes no guarantees, or promises, but he is very confident in his approach. He does not use pressure tactics and he will let you make your own decisions, based on all his advice. All said and done, he worked very hard to reach a settlement that was very close to my expectations, in a timely manner. It was done in a very respectful and professional manner on both sides, which was important to me. I would also like to thank Jon’s staff, who quickly responded to any questions, or concerns I had. I highly recommend this firm and would one hundred percent use them again. Definitely a 5 star business.

Terry F.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I reached out to Samfiru Tumarkin, hoping they would be able to fight for a fair settlement from my employer. I was aligned with Jon Pinkus, who took my case on a contingency basis. During the process, Jon and his team kept me informed and what to expect next. Jon resolved the matter in a timely fashion and brought successful closure to my case. I am happy with the settlement and would definitely recommend Jon and the Samfuri Tumarkin team.

Phil D.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would highly recommend Jon Pinkus at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. As I was laid-off from my employment, Jon was very helpful with my situation and he was able to get the result in very short period of time. Due to COVID, I never met Jon in person. However, Jon was very prompt on returning my calls and emails. Thank you Jon!

Kajan P.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I called Samfiru Tumarkin Employment Lawyers a couple of days after being “dismissed without cause” I know you can get fired without cause but they have to pay you fairly. I contacted the company and within a day I was contacted by the firm and they discussed my situation with me and felt that I had a strong case to proceed with action against my employer. I was represented by Jon Pinkus. Jon explained my case in great detail and kept me posted all along the way and attended virtual mediation as well. After that it was decided to proceed to court, but the company made a settlement offer that we accepted (after a little back and forth negotiation handled by Jon). It didn’t happen over night but it doesn’t usually. I was really happy with the treatment I received and the settlement I eventually agreed to. They also helped to have me released from a prior “non compete” clause as well. I highly recommend Jon and His company if you are put it the same position as I was.

Cameron B.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is a great experience with Jon Pinkus of Samfir Tumarkin LLP Employment law firm. I would highly recommend Jon and the lawyers with the firm. The service fee is reasonable and the results are beyond my expectations.

Reuben G.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was recently let go from my position and was not really confident that i would be entitled to any compensation whatsoever. Just to make sure, i reached out to the people at Samfiru Tumarkin. I dealt with two gentlemen named Jon Pinkus and Michael Shaffer, both of whom were professional and prompt in my dealings with them. The process was easy, Jon simply required some cursory information, and he took care of the rest, with helpful advice for me along the way. By the end, he was able to secure for me a settlement that was exponentially more than my initial settlement. I am grateful for the service that I was provided and recommend that if you are in that unfortunate position, give them a try.

Bryce M.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quite recently, I had the unfortunate need for an employment lawyer for the first (and hopefully last) time in my life. I reached out to this firm and instantly I was contacted by Jon Pinkus. Any apprehension and anxiety I had melted away during our first conversation. He spoke in everyday terms and was upfront about the entire process. If I had questions and reached out by email, those messages were responded to immediately. He kept me in the loop regarding any and all correspondence with my former employer. The entire process took far less time than I had expected and I was very satisfied with the result. I would unequivocally recommend this firm for any employment matters for which you find yourself needing representation.

Kathi A.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jon Pinkus was great! I would definitely recommend Samfiru Tumarkin to anyone in need of an excellent employment lawyer.

His level of service and quality of advocacy definitely surpassed my expectations.

Steve S.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What really stood out was the prompt resolution and effective communication. They seem to be well organized. If my main contact was in hearings, there was always someone following up with full knowledge of my case. I received an initial offer and the Samfiru/Tumarkin team negotiated a counter-offer on my behalf and worked out splendidly. Would give 10/10 and looking forward to continuing to work with them in the future.

Mic V.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have never been through the process of being released from my job but due to Covid 19 I found myself where I am. I have listened to Jon and others from the law firm on the radio for years and reached out because of it. Jon was great at answering my questions and made me feel comfortable in a very uncomfortable situation. My case was resolved quickly thanks to Jon and I am able to move forward in finding my next opportunity. I would highly recommend Jon and the rest of the staff at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. From my first phone call until the signed documents were received they were great and helped guide me through the process. While I hope no one has to go through this process, if you do, definitely reach to Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. Thanks Jon Andrew

Andrew M.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently retained Jon Pinkus at ST Law to represent me in a severance issue with an organization I was employed with as a senior manager for over 28 years. I had paid consultations with 2 other well known Toronto employment law firms prior to meeting with Jon. I knew almost immediately that Jon was the best choice to handle my situation. Jon thoroughly reviewed my situation and and provided me with an honest opinion of my case as well as an explanation of the process and realistic expectations of the outcome. Jon was able to keep my case moving forward even though the COVID pandemic shut down the system almost immediately after our process began. I was very pleasantly surprised. He kept me fully informed of the progress on a regular basis and remained very calm and focused throughout. All the invoices were well documented and fair. I had no questions or issues at anytime. Although mine was quite a complex case, Jon resolved the issue quickly and successfully without the added stress of going to trial. I would absolutely recommend ST Law, and Jon Pinkus in particular to any friends and family that are in need of employment law assistance.

John D.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ In April of this year 2020 I lost my job due to covid after 23yrs. I didnt feel that the package I was given seemed right so on the advice of my family I contacted Samfiru. I was put in contact with Jon Pinkus who careful explained my rights and agreed to take my case. He was calm and considerate of my feelings. He always followed up on any questions I had in a timely manner with professionalism. He kept me abreast of my case every set of the way.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ In January 2020 I found myself laid off from company I worked for over 7 years ( I wasn’t given any severance – just working notice). After thinking about it, I contacted Samfiru Tumarkin LLP and was put in contact with Jon Pinkus. The first interactions with Jon were met with professionalism, letting me know what we would do and what would occur and then COVID happened and I thought it wouldn’t get settled for months. Jon kept on working on it and whenever I emailed Jon (the response time was totally awesome and it very much impressed me ). I would 1000% recommend dealing with Jon Pinkus @ Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. Thank you for all the hard work Jon.

Debbie N.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had the pleasure of being represented by Jon Pinkus. Unfortunately after many years working with my previous employer in a Sr. position I was laid off. To make it worst, I was also being RIPPED OFF with respect to my severance package. I reached out to this firm, and in less than 24 hours I was contacted by Jon. He is attentive, listened to my concerns, educated me and never misinformed me or provided information that was untrue. I was expecting my case to take several months it took less than a few weeks to resolve. I was always kept up to date with next steps or if we were waiting for a response. Any questions I had throughout my process was answered immediately and clearly and I 98% of the time interacted with him directly. I was completely satisfied with the level or service I received, completely satisfied with this firms professionalism, and I would recommend their services to anyone who needs this type of help!!

I would recommend Jon to any one that need an Employment Lawyer . Thank you Jon.

Sadik S.

Kari S.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My experience with Samfiru Tumarkin was far better than I ever expected to have with a law firm. This being my first experience with lawyers, I had only fictional television lawyers, and hearsay to form my opinions. When I met Jon Pinkus for the first time, I didn’t know what to expect. Jon was approachable, honest, friendly, and understood my case inside out. He patiently coached me to give my honest evidence as effectively as possible. Through it all, Jon’s confidence in me and my case, made a stressful experience much more tolerable. Even if we hadn’t won (which we did!), I’d still recommend Jon and Samfiru Tumarkin any day of the week.

Leslie C.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Who would have thought that scrolling through the channels on a Sunday morning and coming across Employment Hour in 30 would wind up being the best show I could have watched? When I was faced with signing my termination papers (after being with this company for 10 years), I knew that what I was offered wasn’t what I was entitled to, so I would not sign it without having some legal advice first. Once home, it didn’t take me long to make the phone call to Samfiru Tumarkin LLP Employment Lawyers. Their lovely receptionist Masa, booked me an appointment to speak with Jon Pinkus the next day! Jon was professional, knowledgeable, patient and kind while I explained the issues with my termination. Right from the beginning I knew I was in the right hands! He walked me through everything, explaining things as we went along, always answering my numerous questions in a timely manner. Jon’s legal advice and negotiations on my behalf, has allowed me to take some time to do some upgrading and I am looking forward to the new direction my life is headed in, full of wonderful possibilities! I would highly recommend Jon Pinkus, if you ever find yourself in need of an employment lawyer. His assistant Alicia was also wonderful to deal with. I am extremely grateful for all of your help and understanding! Thank you!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would highly recommend Jon Pinkus at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP to anyone needing legal representation for employment matters. I am extremely grateful for his knowledge and expertise and the amount of hard work he put into my case regarding inadequate severance pay. He demonstrated impressive tenacity in pushing for a better deal when my former employer regularly responded with low-ball offers and was able to negotiate a severance settlement that not only was substantially higher than the original offer but was done within a month. I would not hesitate to recommend Jon to my friends and colleagues should any of them find themselves in a similar situation to mine.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I wanted to thank Jon Pinkus from Samfiru Tamarkin Lawyers. I wasn’t sure if speaking to an employment lawyer was the right thing to do because I really cared for my current employer. After speaking to Jon, it was clear what my next steps must be. Jon was very clear and upfront with my expectations. Through out the process which took only two weeks from start to finish, he asked for my input every step of the way. I would highly recommend Jon to anyone that wants to have a conversation about their situation. He called me on the weekends, and even kept me in the loop at late times of the evenings. Thanks again for everything Jon.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had worked for my company for almost 14 years and I was totally blindsided. I had listened to Lior Samfiru on Talk 640 and I contacted his office right away. Jon Pinkus took my case and he was very professional, down to earth and gave me all of my options. I felt he took very good care of me and I ended up very happy with the outcome! I would totally recommend Jon Pinkus to anyone in my same situation. He’s the best!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I felt I was being wrongfully treated at my job of 18 years, and I needed some guidance. I called 2 other employment lawyers locally and they never called me back. I called the office of Samfiru Tumarkin, they had me in the next day to meet with Jon Pinkus. He took the time to review my situation and answered my questions, and was confident I had a case. During the process, Jon was upfront, confident, approachable, easy to talk with, friendly and caring. He also has great knowledge of the employment law, He took the time for details and follow up. I am very happy with the outcome , and would strongly recommend Jon as an employment lawyer. Thank you Samfiru Tumarkin and Jon!!!

He responded to all my questions quickly and without hesitation, quickly get back to me if I have something that needs clarification, help me understand wordings that I didn’t understand to help me with the decisions I have to make and overall very helpful. We only communicate electronically, but my instinct said that I can trust him and so I did and he gave me positive results. Thank you to Jon Pinkus and his associates. Keep up the good work.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jon Pinkus…….thank you, thank you, thank you. I cannot emphasize my gratitude enough in this short review, to tell you how much your hard work and dedication meant to me in the handling of my case. Going through any unfair dismissal or contract dispute is taxing and incredibly draining, but your experience, support and professionalism helped me through it. The fact that we received a higher settlement than expected was incredible. I was shocked, but in hindsight not surprised. Samfiru Tumarkin are not only exceptional lawyers, but exceptional people. By the way Jon, I am now in a similar role, so I will undoubtedly be using your services for our companies legal requirements going forward.

Sandy H.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am really happy to have Jon Pinkus as my lawyer. He helped me fight against my wrongful dismissal. I spoke with a few lawyers in different firms before I chose Jon because he was the one I felt the most comfortable talking about my situation with. He is very professional, reliable and trustworthy. He also treated me with respect and honesty, so I could communicate with him as a friend not only as a Lawyer. He was a great advisor and always answered my questions, guiding me through this very stressful time. He not only settled my case in my best interest but also put my mind at peace and finally I can get over this bump of my life. No wonder Samfiru Tumarkin scored as 1 of the “3 best Employment lawyer” in 4 regions of Ontario -a strong team & a lot of brilliant lawyers Thank you again Jon. I absolutely recommend Jon and his team to people who facing unfair job loss.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I could not have asked for a better experience with Samfiru Tumarkin. My lawyer Jon, advocated on my behalf so well I can now sleep well at night knowing my future is back on track. Having to take legal action against your employer is a very scary experience as this is not want any employee wants to do. I can say without doubt that I would recommend this company immediately.

Deb K.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ When my company (a very large multi-national corporation) terminated me, they offered my slightly more than the minimum legal requirements with a threat that if I didn’t accept their offer, they would simply remove the offer and reduce my severance to the bare minimum. Given my age (64) and the fact that I had an impeccable work record, I found this completely insulting and shocking. I contacted a few legal firms, explained my situation, but chose Samfiru Tumarkin based upon the no-charge 30 minute interview I had with Jon Pinkus of their firm. Jon explained the labour laws and how he could get me more money – not through warm and fuzzy promises, but via a solid action plan. Throughout the process I found Jon to be extremely savy. In my opinion, he danced circles around my former employer’s legal team. At the same time he was completely honest and worked to keep my legal costs as low as possible. In the end I ended up with a settlement that was nearly THREE TIMES their original offer – after legal costs. Going through a process such as this can cause anxiety because what I found is that large corporations tend to throw their weight around to intimidate you. If you find yourself in a situation such as mine, I would highly recommend you speak to Jon.
