– Yanet L.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After 7 years’ employment term with a company, I suddenly found myself facing two (2) permanent disabilities, unable to be accommodated in my primary position, and presented with a severance offer or to accept a weekend part-time position without benefits. I’d been laid off once before in my career, because of company restructuring and my job was eliminated, I received a six (6) months severance package with benefits without hiring a lawyer but this time it was different; even though my employment was also after 7 years’ this employment ended with me needing legal advice and hiring a lawyer for consultation, and then handle the negations for settling my Severance Package offer. After watching weekend TV segments Employment Lawyer show, I knew I needed to contact Samfiru Tumarkin Lawyers. In Dec 2022 after learning of my permanent medical condition, I was under a lot of stress, devastated, unable to perform my job duties without pain and needed prompt and professional legal employment advice on how to approach my employer. I am so grateful that I was connected to Taylor Dias, a paralegal working with Melanie Henriques. I felt a sense of relief after speaking with paralegal Taylor Dias, at the beginning when I just needed guidance on asking employer for accommodation because of disabilities, then while on a Medical Leave of Absence I was forced to hire Melanie Henriques for a consultation to review my medical documents after my STD file with my employer was closed. After review of my severance, Melanie felt the offer could be improved upon, and recommended we begin the negotiation process. Melanie and Taylor were very professional and responsive throughout the entire process, explaining what was happening and answering all of my questions. They handled the entire process from start to finish, with Melanie making recommendations to me about how he wanted to proceed, making sure I understood what was happening, and getting my approval before taking any action. With a substantial amount of stress which was deemed as “frustration of contract” the final result was an improved severance than what I had originally been offered. I would highly recommend the services of Samfiru and Tumarkin Employment Lawyers for any legal matters as they provided timely, accurate, and professional service at all levels and they all went above and beyond in providing legal advice on all fronts.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I contacted Samfiru Tumakin after being laid off. I was connected with Melanie Henriques and her assistant Taylor Dias. What really impressed me from the start was Melanie’s top-notch professionalism, knowledge, and finally her kindness throughout the entire process. During our first phone call, Melanie made me feel at ease with the whole situation. The procedure and various steps were explained with great clarity, and I was advised on the different possible options after being attentively listened to, with highly appreciated pragmatism. This allowed me, by the end of the call, to feel in control of a situation that was initially unexpected, unknown, and uncomfortable. Emails were responded to promptly, and Taylor effectively maintained communication during Melanie’s absence. Finally, there were more phone calls than I had expected. A settlement that was not only fair but also above my expectations was quickly reached. Thank you once again; I highly recommend the services of Tamfiru Tumarkin LLP, and I am glad I reached out to them

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My son recommended Samfiru Tumarkin letting me know they are the best. I am so glad he did. In contacting Sivan and speaking with him of what had happened he in turn connected me to Melanie Henriques and her assistant Sarah Oesterreich in regard to being denied my long term disability payments. Melanie fought against the insurance company until she convinced them of their wrong and had them settle for the full amount that they owed me. She went above and beyond all of my expectations. I have deep gratitude, respect and appreciation for Melanie and all at Samfiru Tumarkin and I, in turn, highly recommend them.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This firm came recommended to me. I am extremely glad I went with them for my case. Melanie was my paralegal, and her legal assistant Sarah also worked with me. All of my questions were quickly and thoroughly answered. I wasn’t made to feel bad not knowing more basic rules of how it all works – and I felt comfortable asking anything I wanted to know. Communication was excellent from both. Also, the entire process was simple and smooth sailing. It ended a lot quicker than I expected which was great. I was given great advice, had offers explained and given great opinions on what recommendations were for offers and agreements. I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone. It was easy and I just had to provide information as needed, they handled everything else. Their fees were very fair, and Melanie got me a very fair settlement. I couldn’t say enough good things about working with them.

– Laural A.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Melanie helped me deal with a labour law/lay-off case in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic. I reached out since I had very little knowledge of legal processes when it comes to labour laws & employee rights. After discussing my case, Melanie kindly advised, explained and I had agreed that I wouldn’t move forward with any further action as it seemed to be the best choice for my case. Although I never got to the point of being a “paying” client, I was taken care of as if I was. Responses were always timely via phone & email, and not once did I sense judgement of my (what may seem as obvious) questions. Thank you for making what could’ve been a very confusing experience so simple & easy! Would highly recommend!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I found Samfiru Tumrakin LLP to be every bit of the knowledgeable, experienced quality professionals that they promoted themselves to be. I found them via educational videos on the internet. From the first instance, when I made that first live connection with the person who answered the phone, to booking my appointment and being handed over to the able representative and legal counsel who helped me with my matter, I felt that what I asked for mattered and that I was in extremely capable hands. Everyone was polite and clear in their communication. Ms. Henriques handled things for me with ease, care, transparency and professionalism always remaining friendly and understanding. From beginning to end, I experienced absolute peace knowing that I was in good, fair-minded,effective, caring hands. Thanks ST Lawyers for hiring a team of caring, capable professionals!
– Maggie M.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mel Hendrique is an absolute wealth of knowledge, and I felt incredibly secure responding back to an employer’s offer letter with counter points because of the advice she provided.

I’ll definitely be keeping her number handy and passing her name along to anyone who needs employment related help in the future.
– Katelyn C.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I made the right choice! Losing a job at these trying times hit me big time but with the assistance and professionalism of Melanie Henriques I felt relieved because of the positive response of my requests from my employer.

– Melanie S.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recently I had the misfortune of being laid off from my employer due to Covid. I felt very hurt by this and certainly felt it was unwarranted as they had just brought on two new young guns that they literally promoted 3 days before permanently letting me go. Feeling targeted due to being very ill for a few months, I contact Samfiru. I was directly to Melanie Henriques. She assured me that what had taken place was in fact not right and took on my case. During the entire process she was professional and supportive. Thanks to her efforts, I did end up receiving a settlement (which was more than I expected) and it certainly helped during a terrible period in our lives. I highly recommend Melanie and Samfiru, especially if you feel you have been wrong done by. For me it was more a matter of principle than money and thanks to Mel, I felt a little vindication. Two thumbs up. Thanks Melanie.

If Melanie is an example of the caliber of lawyers and paralegals at this firm, then rest assured you are in good hands should the time ever come where you need help and guidance. Although I, much like anyone, hope to never need legal assistance again, should that need arise, I know exactly who to call. Thank you.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I reached out to Melanie Henriques to review the details of my work dismissal due to covid related reasons. Melanie set up a conference in a matter of a few days (amidst a pandemic) and reviewed my case. There were no up front fees and Melanie had explained everything and how to proceed. Throughout the process, Melanie negotiated my severance back and forth with the company and was able to secure me additional severance. Melanie was always attentive, responsive, made me feel comfortable and would take my insight and feedback into account. I was allowed me to make decisions I felt comfortable with without being pressured. This was my first experience with legal issues and I feel it went fairly well. Would highly recommend Melanie to anyone seeking employment related litigation.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing service from both Ms. Sabina Haasova and Ms. Melanie Henriques. Both were friendly, courteous, respectful, very professional and very down to earth. Not once did it feel intimidating (as it could be), but it felt refreshing to be listened. Sabina was the first person I spoke to and she treated me very well and organized everything for Melanie to take over. Melanie was dynamite, always responding to questions I had, and I had quite a few. Very open and honest about the whole process, and right up to the conclusion kept the communication lines open. I’d very strongly recommend Samfiru Tumarkin, and especially Melanie for your concerns. Thank you so much to the both you!!

Melanie guided me through the entire process in a calm, compassionate manner. I could not be more thrilled with my decision to retain Melanie.
– Andra O.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These aren’t lawyers, these are people with a law degree and you are treated as such. A co-worker had retained them for a case and a another friend had mentioned them a few years earlier and raved about how great these folks were.

I refer them whenever I can, I cannot say enough about this group of Lawyers. You need employment law advice, this is who you need.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Melanie Henriques was my paralegal during an extremely stressful situation with a property manager “managing” my property. They were in fact terrible, and left my house vacant with no heat in the dead of winter while I was looking for new tenants. I had only owned my property for 6 days – my first. Melanie stated clearly on paper how the costs would be in each time frame of the process which took about 6 to 8 months. The fee was completely reasonable and never more than was stated on paper, BEFORE the work was done in each stage. Melanie was very prompt on replying to all my questions. I would refer anyone I care about to her and her team!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I couldn’t have been happier with the service I received and how quickly we settled. I worked with Melanie Henriques and her paralegal assistant Jill Brooks with regards to my termination. I originally went to another Bay Street law firm first and met with a highly recommended lawyer and they couldn’t help me; I was billed for a consultation at the typical high hourly rate and I left feeling hopeless about my case. Fortunately, I found Melanie through a referral and she was amazing. She reassured me we could get a better deal. She has excellent negotiation and communication skills, knowledgeable, articulate, professional, and she understands the needs of her client; Melanie and Jill are very responsive (too responsive, I got an email on a Sunday night from Melanie). I highly recommend this Law firm to anyone with employment issues. They hire employees that actually care about their clients! I am very happy with my outcome and will work with Melanie again in future when signing employment contracts. Thank you for giving me the confidence I could get a better deal.
– Paula

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ To be frank it was never about the money for me. I just wanted my voice to be heard when I was let go unjustly. I am not a litigious person but I couldn’t just leave injustice alone and for this reason I called Samfiru Tumarkin. I was initially put in touch with a lawyer and she was kind enough to put me through to Melanie Henriques who finished handling my case. Melanie was very professional in handling my case. She’s one of the most personable people I’ve ever met. Very likeable but very tough at the same time – in the preliminary meeting for example. I was nervous sitting across my old employer. I was so fortunate to have Melanie in my corner. She’s got a very calming effect on her clients and answered all my questions – always very patient with me. I was very happy with the settlement and just the fact that’s it’s finally over. Thank you Melanie – I will always remember you fondly. Thanks so much again for your kindness, compassion, and guiding hand throughout this process.
– Elf P.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I worked with Melanie Henriques recently on a legal matter. She is incredibly well versed, personable, and took the time to help me understand every last detail. She put me at ease during a time which without her guidance would have been very stressful. I would highly recommend her. Thank you for all your help Melanie.
– Keira S.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a small claims class against a property manager that settled out of court. I chose the firm based of the the 5 star review from the internet ~ which I think is extraordinary. My experience was as such. The paralegal, Melanie, was extremely mentally agile and gave me the confidence to stay calm in a very stressful situation as a new home owner. I have recommended her to all my clients and my family and will continue to. At fist I was weary of using a paralegal as I thought a lawyer would be “better”. However, it made perfect sense after Melanie explained that paralegals are ideal for small claims cases because they deal with this process all the time. Will always use this firm as long as I’m living in TO. Thanks
– Gina L.

She is definitely an asset to her company! Thank You Melanie!

I was going thru a time of sorrow and grief with the recent passing of my mother on top of all else that had happened. Melanie was there with the utmost professionalism and kindness. All was handled quickly and efficiently . I would definitely use their services again in the future should the need arise and will most certainly pass on the firms name. Thank you once again, Melanie for all your hard work and thoughtfulness.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Service! After working for a company for 5.5 years I was “terminated without prejudice”. I was in shock and really didn’t know what that meant or what I was entitled to. A former co-worker had the same thing happen a few months before so I got on the phone with him right away and he recommended I visit the web site of Samfiru Tumarkin. Best thing I ever did. I went to the web site and put in my info and received a phone call the very next morning. At first I was a bit upset that I was only given a Paralegal and not a “real” lawyer. Boy was I wrong. My Paralegal Melanie Henriques was the best. She was straight forward, set reasonable expectations for me, explained how everything worked, answered all my questions. She was in contact almost every other day with updates. If I emailed her a question it was answered within 24 hours max, but usually within an hour or two at most. Long story short: I got the best settlement that I was entitled to, and was put very quickly at ease, and would recommend Melanie to anyone that needs legal employment help. Thanks Melanie, Nicole
– Blackrose I.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After being terminated I contacted them about a wrongful dismissal case, they helped me every step of the way, and when I didn’t understand a problem they were more than happy to explain it to me. Great Company!
