When picking a lawyer, it can be difficult to know which one will be a perfect fit. A client needs to consider their needs and wants, then find a reputable lawyer that matches that. Easy right? Well, it's more like “easier said than done.” Between reviews, specializations, track records, and more it can be extremely easy to feel lost and confused. Three Best Rated® wants to help everyone feel a little less lost, and interviewed three award-winning lawyers to learn their tips on what a client should look for in a lawyer!

When picking a lawyer, the client should look at what the lawyer specializes in and choose accordingly. “[For example,] a criminal law firm dedicated to criminal law – not as a combined family law firm and not as an add-on to a commercial law firm,” says Michael Perrella, founder of Perrella Legal. Many areas of law are highly specialized and require dedication to be competitive. “People should be wary of lawyers who dabble... [they should have] at least 10 years’ experience specializing in that field,” notes Mr. Perrella. Specializing in a field allows lawyers to be able to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses of particular cases that other lawyers might miss. “[For example] at Testart Family Lawyers we will give you an honest assessment of your case including its weaknesses,” says Marc Testart, founder of Testart Family Lawyers. However, without experience in the field to back up the assessment, it could be inaccurate.

With a lawyer, reputation is important! Their reputation with the customers and the members of the judiciary all plays a role in their success. “You want a lawyer who has an excellent rapport with members of the judiciary and prosecutors and fully understands their personalities and understands sentencing trends and court procedures,” Mr. Perrella advises. A lawyer who makes a habit of dismissing or disrespecting judges will have a negative effect on the case. Plus, if a lawyer cannot make an effort to be courteous and professional with the judiciary, how will they treat the client? “There are competent lawyers and others who are not so competent. There are lawyers with big egos, lawyers who put money first, and lawyers who love to put other lawyers down, so they can get the job,” says Michael Kuzilny, founder of MK Law, “Ring around and find someone that best suits your needs.”

While fees should not be the first thing a client looks for in a lawyer, it would be silly to not factor it in. Different lawyers have different pricing schemes and some will leave the client with a hefty bill at the end. “Look for someone who offers a fixed fee so there is no scope for overcharging,” advises Mr. Perrella. It's important to discuss payment, fees and budgets before signing a contract or hiring the lawyer. Usually a client can discuss this during the initial consultation. “A great lawyer will offer a free, no obligation initial consultation because they are confident about what they can achieve for you,” says Mr. Perrella. The initial consultation is also a great time to identify how the lawyer works and the attitude they have towards the case. “Be clear and organized about your situation, and explain what you are trying to achieve,” advises Testart, “Interview at least two or three [lawyers] and make your decision based upon their initial advice.”

Perrella Legal was founded in 2011 by Michael Perrella. He has been practicing for 20 years and was a prosecutor for 10 years. This allows him to accurately dissect and break down a seemingly strong prosecution case, as well as identify and present negotiated outcomes wherever possible. At Perrella Legal, the client is not just another number. They limit the number of clients they service at any one time to ensure each and every client is given the time and attention they deserve. They are the only firm practicing exclusively in criminal law with QPS accreditation in WA. They pride themselves on being compassionate, responsive, and dedicated – and of course their results! Perrella Legal has been recognized for their excellence and was named one of the top three criminal lawyers in Perth, WA for 2019 by Three Best Rated®.

MK Law was founded by Michael Kuzilny. He has been practicing as a traffic and criminal lawyer for over 30 years. At MK Law they pride themselves on achieving the best possible outcome for all of their clients. They strive to make the clients experience as simple and pain-free as possible. They guide and keep their clients informed every step of the way. Michael Kuzilny prides himself on representing his clients and not passing the case off to a junior lawyer.

Three Best Rated® has recognized MK Law for their excellence and named them one of the three best criminal and traffic lawyers in Melbourne, VIC for 2019.

Testart Family Lawyers was founded by Marc Testart with a simple vision of achieving “win-win” outcomes for the whole family. He was tired of seeing families using the court as their own personal battleground with little regard to the mental well-being of the children. He uses alternative dispute resolution to encourage people to set aside their anger and work towards a compromise. At Testart Family Lawyer, they pride themselves on being compassionate, sensitive, yet realistic. They understand how hard a relationship breakdown can be and want to make a clear strategy to move forward. The well-being of the client's children will always be paramount and they give honest, realistic advice on the best move for them and their children.

When deciding to buy a house, a person really only has two choices – build a new house or buy an existing house. Both options present a different array of pros and cons, and different concerns every homeowner should consider before deciding on their choice. Three Best Rated® has decided to sit down with an award-winning home building company, an award-winning real estate agent and an award-winning real estate lawyer in order to understand what the customer should know before building or buying a house.

Building a house is a very exciting time for everyone involved. The homeowner is able to have the house designed exactly how they want it to look, with all the features and amenities they want. However, building a home can be very expensive. If the homeowner is on a small budget, they should steer away from building a home. For those who can afford it, they still need to watch out to avoid wasting money. “When clients are making price comparisons between builders/contractors, they need to make sure they are truly comparing apples to apples,” says James Herron of Little Redstone Inc. “Most square foot pricing quoted by builders/contractors does not contain permit/city fees, tree protection fees, architectural design fees, interior design fees, landscape design fees, basement finishing costs or project drawing changes fees.” All these fees add up to a much higher cost per square foot than the homeowner originally planned for. The homeowner needs to be sure they account for these extra costs when budgeting out their new home.

When having the home designed, the homeowner needs to take the finished product into consideration and how the amenities will function in unison. For example, how their HVAC system impacts the overall climate control and humidity levels of the house and the impact to the wood and plaster finishes over time. “A radiant heating system alongside a forced air system should be installed,” James says. “Radiant heating is the best way to heat a house while the forced air system will supply air conditioning and the humidity levels needed to properly maintain the finishes installed. A house that is too dry will guarantee that all the wood finishes will crack and warp.” This will lead to costly, repeating repairs until the problem is addressed and fixed. The homeowner can avoid future headaches by ensuring everything in their new home will work together perfectly.

Finally, the homeowner should vet their potential builders vigorously. The homeowner will want to ensure the company is used to the size and scope of the home and is reputable. For example, Little Redstone's portfolio includes multi-home luxury estates, major renovations, as well as new builds and additions; in addition, they specialize in building custom luxury homes. Their portfolio and specializations give the potential homeowner an idea of what the company has experience in. If possible, the homeowner should talk to other people who have hired the company to see what their experience was, the problems they ran into and how the company addressed those issues. The homeowner, in general, needs to make sure the company fits in with their goals and needs for their new house.

For those of us who either don't want to build a house or simply can't afford it, there's plenty of great houses in the market just waiting to be found. This is where a great realtor comes in. Ryan Urban, a realtor for the Urban group, has some great tips when looking for a house.

First and foremost, the homeowner should know their budget and finances before they even look at a house. “Understanding your financing approval and mortgage options is vitally important,” Ryan says. Nothing is worse than looking at THE house and realizing it won't fit into the budget. Along this same vein, the homeowner needs to ensure they are buying the property the “right” way. “Your agent should have the right skills to make sure you're buying a solid property, at the best price and terms,” Ryan explains. “You'd think this is common sense, but we often come across sellers who have bought a property with another agent, and they paid too much and did not think this through.” This also means that the homeowner should be careful about which real estate agent they use. “You need to have a great team of professionals around you,” Ryan says. “Your agent has to know the market. The market is always changing and is impacted by things such as supply and demand, interest rates, government regulations, school ratings and much more.” A good real estate agent that has a great team behind them will be knowledgeable and up to date on these factors and will be able to get the homeowner the perfect house for the right price.

As Ryan mentioned earlier, the homeowner needs to have a great team of professionals backing them up. They will need lawyers, mortgage brokers, contractors and, of course, a great real estate agent. All these professionals work in unison to ensure the homeowner gets a house they are happy with for many years to come. “[When you buy a house], you need to have ... a good home inspection, financing, conditional sale of property, [verify] zoning, [access the] property survey – to name a few,” Ryan says. “Each situation is unique, and your agent should know how to protect your best interest.” Every step of the way, the homeowner will need help from a professional. They should make sure they read reviews, research the companies and ask questions before they decide on what professional to use. They should “shop around” before deciding on a professional to ensure they pick the one that is the best fit for them.

Whatever path the homeowner chooses, it's always a great idea to have a real estate lawyer on their side. Real estate lawyers help their clients navigate the ever-changing laws of real estate, whether it's purchasing, selling or simply mortgage financing. Jonathan Griffiths, founder and real estate lawyer of Griffiths Professional Corporation, has some tips on how a real estate lawyer can help.

When a homeowner is having a house built, there's a variety of contracts that have to be signed. “It is essential that the construction contracts be very carefully reviewed by a lawyer to cover the eventualities which will occur during the construction process,” says Jonathan. “This includes the mechanism and timing of payments and provision for construction liens.” For the average person, contracts can be tricky to navigate. However, real estate lawyers have the training and experience necessary to work through this type of contract with ease. Some people are afraid of the costs of a lawyer and do not contact one until it is too late and it ends up costing more than it would have originally. “Changes after the contract has been finalized can be extremely expensive to the client,” Jonathan says. Additionally, a lawyer can help the client specify exactly what is included in the contract to prevent any changes that would have to be made.

When a homeowner is buying an already-built home, real estate lawyers can help the whole process move smoothly. “Typically real estate lawyers charge fixed fees and are available to the client throughout the process, beginning with reviewing the agreement of purchase and sale and answering any questions and concerns the client may have as the transaction progresses,” Jonathan says. It is good to see the lawyer as an extra safety net to make sure the client doesn't make a costly mistake when buying a home. “Purchasing a home can be a very stressful procedure for a client, particularly a first-time buyer, and the ongoing help and advice of a good and empathetic real estate lawyer throughout the process can go a long way towards alleviating the stress,” Jonathan says.

Little Redstone Inc. was established by James Herron 10 years ago. It has since grown to a full-service design and build firm that specializes in custom luxury homes, additions and renovations. The studio has a dedicated in-house team and reliable trade partners with a wealth of experience to serve their clients. Little Redstone uses cutting-edge technology to better serve their clients. They use Building Information Management (BIM) software to create 3D models of the house and interior design software to help clients make design decisions. They continually search for new and better ways to serve their customers to help them turn their home into their dream home. Little Redstone Inc. has been recognized for their excellence and was named one of the top three home builders in Toronto, Ontario, for 2019 by Three Best Rated®.

Ryan Urban and his business associates started Urban Group by personally investing in and developing proprieties when they were in their early 20s. They always had a passion for real estate and use their past experience to give their clients an edge. Ryan is a graduate of the Ivey Business School, B.A. Economics, and contributes analysis to Canadian Real Estate Wealth Magazine - Canada's leading real estate investing publication. The Urban Group has industry-leading results, and their high level of services makes the process easy for their clients. They are one of Canada's fastest-growing real estate teams, with the majority of their clients being repeat and referral clients. They are one of the top performing real estate teams at Royal LePage, Canada's largest and most reputable real estate company. They genuinely love helping their clients find the perfect home and they always strive to keep their clients informed so they can make the best decision. Three Best Rated® has recognized them for their excellence and named them one of the top three real estate agents in Burlington, Ontario, for 2019.

Jonathan Griffiths founded Griffiths Professional Corporation in 1981. Before doing so, he started in the real estate business when he was 19 and sold real estate while in university and law school. He started teaching real property law at the Ontario Real Estate Associate when he was 25 and was often the youngest in the room. When he started Griffiths Professional Corporation, he wanted to put his clients first and look after them in any way possible and has done so for 38 years. With three offices and a large number of staff members, they're able to pay proper attention to each client and deal with matters quickly. Jonathan truly loves real estate law and will always try to answer his phone wherever he can. His son Malcolm joined the law firm to ensure the longevity and durability of the firm for their clients.

Any responsible person knows to plan for the worst while hoping for the best. Nobody wants to think about creating an estate plan and facing their own mortality until they are very old. However, it's the responsible thing to do. When someone passes away without an estate plan, it means they have no input to what happens with their possessions or money; the province will decide how the assets are distributed. This will lead to extra expenses and often takes a long time to resolve. Many people have never set up an estate plan and wouldn't know the first thing to do. This is why Three Best Rated® sat down with two award-winning estate lawyers and an award-winning financial advisor to learn three mistakes to avoid with an estate plan.

A person is (almost) never too young to have a Will. “[Many people think] they do not need to evaluate their estate for various reasons such as being young, healthy or even just procrastination,” says Justin Bussoli, an estate lawyer with Carr Law Personal Corporation. However, not having a Will needlessly causes extra time and money to be spent dealing with the estate. “It creates ambiguity and conflict surrounding the beneficiaries of an estate,” adds Joel Sinke, a financial advisor with Edward Jones. When a person passes, the last thing the surviving family members will want to think about is how the estate will be allocated; having a Will makes it so they don't have to worry and give them peace of mind they are acting according to the person's wishes. “First and foremost, a proper Will should always be included in your estate,” says Mark Epstein, the managing partner of Epstein & Associates.

The beneficiaries are the people who will receive the inheritance once the client has passed away. “In most cases, named beneficiaries supersede the directives expressed in a will,” explains Sinke. Thus, even if the client changes their will to reflect their wishes, the inheritance could still end up in the wrong hands. “A mistake people make with their estate is if they have a Will, it doesn't reflect what they want to happen to their estate,” says Epstein. By regularly updating and reviewing beneficiaries, clients can be reassured that their estate is going to the right hands. “Often people don't properly plan for the death of beneficiary/attorney under a Will or Power of Attorney,” adds Bussoli. If a beneficiary passes away and the estate is not updated, then this can have unexpected consequences. “[This includes] the wrong person receiving an inheritance, unforeseen tax implications and estate having to go through Probate when this could have been avoided,” says Sinke.

“Taxes can be a significant estate expense,” says Sinke. However, they can be mitigated or even avoided altogether. “An effective estate plan and ... using life insurance as a means for planning for the tax burden can be useful in lowering the tax cost to an estate,” Sinke says. With taxes being such a large portion of estate expense it becomes even more imperative to follow the other guidelines above to have plenty of time to work through setting up the estate and Will. “We find people tend to inquire about [a Will and Powers of Attorney] at a time when it may be too late for us to help,” says Bussoli.

Overall, everyone should contact their estate lawyers and financial advisors to set up their estate plan before it is too late. As with most things, this process will take time and the sooner it is started, the better. Nobody wants to leave their loved ones behind with the headache of dealing with the estate and Will when all they should be doing is mourning. “People shouldn't be afraid of calling their lawyer because it's going to cost them money to speak to them,” says Epstein. “They should be more concerned with what the cost will be for failing to make that call.”

Justin Bussoli has been practicing law for two years and handles corporate, real estate and estate matters at Carr Law. He believes that clients should be treated with integrity and respect. He seeks to build relationships with his clients and ensures that he is accessible at all times of the day. He wants clients to know that if they are calling, they will reach him directly. Justin keeps his clients informed and updated every step of the way. He prides himself on being flexible and will work with his clients to find a convenient location and time to meet with them. He wants all current and potential clients to feel free to contact him if they have any questions about their estate. Carr Law has been recognized for its excellence and was named one of the top three estate planning lawyers in Vaughan, Ontario, for 2019 by Three Best Rated®.

Joel Sinke became a financial advisor for Edward Jones in 2010 and is licensed with IIROC. Edward Jones has been in business for over 95 years and has been operating in Canada for over 25 years. His firm is currently ranked highest in investor satisfaction for full-service brokerage firms in the United States AND Canada. Joel Sinke joined the industry because he had a life-long passion for investment and financial planning as well as a desire to help others. He truly cares about his clients and their families and wants to help them make the right decisions regarding their finances. He prides himself on giving a personalized experience that starts with an in-depth discovery meeting. He employs a "high-touch" service model to maintain regular contact with his clients to keep them on track towards their financial goals. Joel Sinke has been recognized for his excellence and was named one of the top three financial services in Hamilton, Ontario, for 2019 by Three Best Rated®.

Mark Epstein started practicing law in 2003 and then opened Epstein & Associates in 2005. Initially, the firm focused on family law with only the occasional Will work, but have added about 13 lawyers in the past 14 years. They were able to expand to include real estate, estate administration and litigation, corporate law, general civil litigation and commercial litigation. They believe in a straightforward approach built on teamwork. They ensure their clients are given the information they need to make the best decision for their case. Epstein & Associates offers free consultations to ensure their current and potential clients feel they can talk to them about all their legal needs. Three Best Rated® has recognized them for their excellence and named them one of the three best estate planning lawyers in Newmarket, Ontario, for 2019.

Nobody likes doing homework, or most work actually. However, with something as important as hiring a lawyer, it is vital to do research on their potential lawyer. “They should see how long the law firm has been in business, whether they specialize in personal injury, what experience they have with the particular type of accident and injury suffered, and what online reviews the firm has from previous clients,” Sim explains. As with most things, experience is vitally important in law and the more experience a law firm has with particular cases, the better the advice and representation they provide will be. A client should look at the law firm as a whole, and not just a particular lawyer. The lawyer will be able to pull on the collective knowledge from their colleagues to give a client the best representation and advice. On this note, it is important that a client looks at how the firm is perceived by the community and other lawyers. “If the law firm has a bad reputation, then you may not want that taint to possibly impact on your case,” Polak says. It is acceptable for clients to call other practices to ask about the reputation of the law firm they are considering.

3. Not Factoring Geography

Law is a nationwide practice and as such, some firms will have nationwide offices. “However, there is a benefit to having a lawyer who practices in the geographic region where the case happened and has experience in the area,” Brown explains. These local lawyers will be able to pull from experience with the local laws that affect the area, since they consistently deal with cases that have to contend with these laws. “Often, we see people go with national ... groups that don't specialize in Edmonton, or Northern Alberta [where James H. Brown & Associates is located], and these cases can be undervalued by those groups,” Brown adds. By going with a nationwide firm instead of a local one, clients risk getting a smaller settlement due to all the factors discussed.

4. Not Hiring a Lawyer They Trust

One of the most important things a client needs to think about before they hire a lawyer is trust. “They need to trust and feel comfortable with the law firm they choose,” Sim says. The client needs to trust that the lawyer has the client's best interest in mind and genuinely cares about their case. After all, if the lawyer doesn't care about the case, they won't put all their effort into getting a high settlement. “If you're meeting with your lawyer and they're going over things quickly, or aren't thorough, that's likely an indication of how they will be treating your case,” says Brown. When the client comes in for a meeting, their lawyer should take the time to explain everything regarding the case and give thoughtful advice. If the lawyer does not do this, they are laying a poor foundation of trust and the client may want to think about finding a different law firm. “You want a lawyer that is best suited to you and who understands what you are going through,” Polak says.
