Lumi Pungea - Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lumi Pungea – Partner of Samfiru Tumarkin demonstrated exceptional client service delivery. She is a brilliant and empathetic communicator, who provided prompt feedback and advice given on severance remains invaluable.

– Marcia C.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Samfiru Tumarkin took me on this journey and I could not have had better representation. The process can be a long one but the communication was consistent and clear. I was represented by Lumi Pungea and she made everything seem seamless. I’m sure due in no small part because of Chrystal Courchesne who handled all the nitty gritty work that makes the justice system turn. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

– Chris G.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My sincerest thank you to Lumi Pungea who was a pleasure to work with. I found Lumi to be relatable, trustworthy and empathetic, which is not always common among lawyers (I have found). I did not feel intimidated and was treated like an intelligent individual; as a result I felt seen and heard. We made a fantastic team and am grateful for her support, guidance and most importantly a successful outcome.

– Andrena M.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Being in my 50s and losing my job was scary and disheartening. I attempted to negotiate a settlement on my own but wasn’t making much progress. That’s when Samfiru was recommended to me. When I first called, there was a generic intake process, and due to my circumstances, I was connected with one of the partners, Lumi Pungea. Lumi clearly had my best interests at heart and presented efficient and effective options for moving forward. She was extremely responsive to my questions and concerns and provided honest, straightforward advice and guidance to help me make decisions. I have already recommended her to a coworker and would highly recommend her to anyone in the same circumstance.

– Jamey A.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lumi Pungea was an amazing help with a wrongful dismissal case I presented to her. This case took over 6 years to settle.

– Aiden H.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Navigating employment law is like going on safari. You need a tour guide; a specialist in navigating the terrain safely because you want the best value for your money, and definitely don’t want to get taken out by a predator. You need a guide that listens to your needs and maps out the safest route that will exceed your expectations. I was extremely fortunate to partner up with Lumi Pungea from Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. I discounted all other Counsels once I realised that Lumi was truly listening and viewed my needs further than I considered. Having someone take the time to fully explain the big picture really convinced me there was no other choice. Lumi mapped out our route and at every checkpoint she provided insight regarding our progress. I have been through enough safari’s to know that Lumi is one of the best tour guides around. I would do it all over again as long as Lumi was available to lead me through. Employment law can be a jungle; and disability law shouldn’t eat you alive. Do yourself a favour and reach out to Lumi before you choose any other guide; she won’t run through the jungle, she’ll confidently walk at a steady pace so you can understand the terrain.

– Happy C.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was hesitant at first, as many are, to contact a lawyer after issues with my previous employer. I reached out to Samfiru Tumarkin LLP and am so glad I did. Lumi Pungea was so helpful, took the time to explain all the steps involved and answered the many questions I had. This was a stressful situation and she made me feel at ease. I was surprised how quick the matter was resolved. I feel a big weight has been lifted off my shoulders and now I can move on. Thank you Lumi and staff.

– Shari M.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unfortunately I was diagnosed with cancer in 2014, and my cancer later metastasized into stage 4 melanoma in 2017. I returned to work immediately after my surgery in 2014, but unfortunately in July 2017, I was unable to return to work. Within 10 months of my illness, while still receiving treatment, my Employer tried to discontinue my health benefits after 12 years of loyal service. I luckily staved them off, but within the 2 year mark they permanently discontinued my benefits without notice. I was stunned, an I had to get the financial assistance from my Family to pay for my monthly benefits. I called Lumi Pungea, and she has provided yeoman service to me. She is a knowledgeable, astute lawyer with a great, big kind heart. My Sister Anne hired this Law Firm a few years ago, and Sivan and Albert treated her with respect and kindness, and they always cared about her as a person as well as a client. Sivan assisted me with legal advice when I was initially diagnosed with cancer, during my Sister’s successful lawsuit. Thank you Lumi, Sivan & Albert for giving our Family 10+ service.
