Siskinds Llp

I was involved in a car accident and called Siskinds. Rasha took on my file and surrounded with me a top notch recovery team who were amazing in my rehab. Rasha and her team were understanding, thorough, and very professional. They have secured my future and my well being. Its hard to truly express my appreciation for them and how they have helped my life after such a trauma. Thank You to Siskinds.

Over the years, I have worked with a number of lawyers for personal and corporate matters. I am generally cynical when it comes with dealing with them, but I can strongly recommend Laura Geddes. Laura will make you feel comfortable and confident that your affairs are properly addressed. She showed compassion and patience while helping my elderly father with estate planning.

Since my first meeting with John Morrissey, we have worked together on 3 significant Estate files regarding myself, and our family’s affairs. There is one more future file pending, eventually to be settled, and John will be handling that for us. John had just passed the Bar ( circa 2015 – 2016 ) and was working with a Partner, who was handling a $225K matter that I was very involved with. I was impressed with John’s manner, inter personal skills and knowledge. We were successful in settling the matter for the whole amount. About 2018 I was confronted with my wife’s father’s Estate matters. My now deceased wife was incapacitated, residing in Long Term Care. As her POA, I had to lead the resolution of the matter. My wife’s step family members had, against specific terms of the father’s Will, stolen the 3 children’s share of their deceased father’s matrimonial home. My wife and her two brothers were all entitled to a 33% share of 50% of the matrimonial home. The value for each was in the $200k+ range. The step family sold the original matrimonial house and put the new house 100% in just the stepmother’s name. Title should have included her father’s Estate. This was a gross failure on the part of many parties. John was not involved in that sale and purchase transaction. I specifically asked for John to lead the file. Sure enough, he fully resolved the matter. We are now 100% assured to have that property value, which is now in the $250K range. Without John’s help, I would have had a major legal battle to get the monies owing from the stepmother’s estate. This past August 2023, John settled a very contentious Estate file concerning my wife’s mother’s Estate. The matter involved our daughters. Given that my wife passed before her mother, our daughters were entitled to receive the value, not myself. Given the mother’s dementia, and alleged coercion by the brothers to change the original Will in their favor only, our daughters were being 100% “cheated” out of their mother’s share of the Estate. John resolved the $150K share of the matter with a very satisfactory settlement, out of court. If you are in Estate litigation, it is because your appropriate share of an Estate is being challenged. It is amazing to what extent family will go the get a “bigger piece of the pie” than they are entitled to. If John had not resolved these matters for us, we would have been out of hundreds of thousands of dollars that we were legally and legitimately entitled to. I am privileged to recommend John Morrissey

I had the pleasure of working with Anna Szczurko for my case over the last few years. Anna has been friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, supportive, and an amazing advocate. Anna really took the time to get to know me, and my situation, and executed it with professional grace. I really appreciated Anna’s down to earth demeanour as well- I was new to the legal process, and she helped make things less intimidating. I would definitely consult with Anna again, should I require her legal services in the future!

I was referred to Siskinds LLP by another law firm I was using. It was felt that John Morrissey's expertise would be of great benefit to helping us with the legal roadblock we encountered. It seemed that my specific situation warranted someone with expertise in Estate Litigation, Guardianship, Separation Agreements, and even the enforcement of such matters post-mortem. Being referred to Mr. Morrissey was the best advice anyone could have given us. During our first contact with John he guided us with professionalism, compassion and kindness, and truly answered all of our questions. He put our worries at ease and explained a clear path forward. He was responsive to our emails and questions, gave us realistic timelines, and handled all aspects of legal process with sound advice. His professionalism was much appreciated, and we would have to admit, he is also an excellent listener... because let's face it... sometimes these situations arise with emotions in tow. I can say for certain that I will be calling on John Morrissey, and his wonderful partner Reenya Koshaba for any future needs, and recommending him to my close family and friends.

I recently retained John Morrissey in what for me was an overwhelming task of proceeding with a Guardianship Application. From our first telephone call, John settled my concerns and shed light on the process with kindness, efficiency and his knowledge on the subject was evident. When I needed to contact either John or Reenya, my questions were addressed promptly and the attention to detail in their work was evident. I was kept informed of the developments during the application process and it provided relief to have this task dealt with in such an impeccable manner. I highly recommend John and his team at Siskinds LLP for Guardianship applications and similar matters.

I recently retained John Morrissey in a Co Power of Attorney matter and | couldn't be happier with my decision to do this. Every email I sent as well as every phone call I made was returned to me instantly. My matter was resolved within days of retaining John. He handled my case with seriousness, forcefulness and professionalism. He took such a weight off of my shoulders and I never felt alone through this ordeal. I would recommend this law firm and John to anyone. If I ever have a problem to deal with again; Siskinds will be my go to every time.

I had the pleasure of working with Anna Szczurko at Siskinds LLP and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. Anna is a true professional who provided me with expert legal guidance and representation throughout my case. She listened carefully to my concerns and worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. Her attention to detail, knowledge of the law, and communication skills are second to none. I highly recommend Anna and Siskinds LLP to anyone in need of legal assistance.
