Putnam Law LLP

I have retained the lawyers for corporate, and property as well as family law, professional, and always the best trustworthy advice.

Looking after my father's estate very friendly staff

I will never use this law firm again. I bought a house from people you would classify as hoarders. So, my realtor included a clause that if any possessions were left in the house after possession I would receive $1000 to pay to get a bin and have the possessions removed. (The lawyer knew that when I spoke to him about hiring him for this deal) Not only were they still occupying the house when I received the keys they still had possessions in the house. They promised to be out the next day and their solution was to move everything into the yard (see attached photos) where they left everything as well as an oversized double garage full to the ceiling of stuff... Here comes my issue with this law firm. When it came time to releasing those funds to me, which I feel is a very cut and dry issue since the possessions were still in the house along with the previous owners at the time that I took possession of the house, they didn't. The previous owners gave some sob story and this law firm's lawyer's assistant said something along the lines of 'well, the possessions were moved from the house' which gave the previous owners more ammo to not sign over the money and just dig their heels in. When told this I asked my lawyer who they were fighting for and his response was to drop me as a client. I was told if I wanted the money I would have to take them to small claims court and I was not going to get any more help nor any legal advice on how to proceed in starting a claim...Fine. So, I took things into my own hands. I told the previous owner's realtor that I was starting the process and on top of small claims court I was going to be reporting him to RECA for not honoring the intent of a contract. Next thing you know they were releasing the funds the next morning. When I went to pick up my cheque at the lawyer's office, to my surprise, half of it was missing. When I asked about it they said they kept it as extra fees for going "above and beyond" in getting me this money. If they would have left it at dropping me as a client and keeping the fees I paid that was already agreed upon, I could have taken that... but then they took this money on top of treating me like garbage. EDIT: I have been in touch with the office as requested in their response. I spoke with someone other than the people mentioned in my original review above. I was pleased that I was greeted with a calm and sensible mannor and I was assured they will look into it thoroughly.

Absolutely terrible office, zero regard for a child's wellbeing. Samantha Huculak is very fond of shorting the opposing party documents and helping alienate a parent. Steer clear of this scummy firm. Much more professional ones out there

all they do is convince others that they can sack you for everything you have just one thing to be clear putam law days are numbered as they have no idea what they are up against (Samantha this means you) you like to influence people you can take people for everything they have take advantage of those who cannot afford lawyers just remember a piece a paper cannot protect you and your firm money will not save you. be cursed as your souls you sold cheap for in hell you will suffer enjoy and laugh now because you wont be in 2022 :D also just be kindly reminded their are more people in poverty then there are people living happy see you soon.

Clean super nice office, very friendly customer service, great lawyer.

Samantha Hucalak is not, by any means helping this firm. Her unprofessional tactics to get ahead is noticed, by many clients, and in fact recognized for unprofessionalism within the courts. Inexperience, willingness to make false claims in the best interest of her clients is clearly recognized. Ms. Hucalaks poor decision making in regards to family matters NEEDS to be addressed to the firm, before she takes them under. 100% not qualified to represent the firm as she’s claiming

Overwhelming happy with Sherri-Lynn and Andrew Lawson with my real estate sale and purchase. Very well prepared and kind with explaining all I was signing. Thank you for making this happen with ease.
