Scarfone Hawkins Law Firm

My wife and I just purchased our first home in Hamilton four months ago. We hired Scarfone Hawkins, and we have never been happier. Many people have told us that buying a house can be the most stressful experience in your life, well! Between Scarfone Hawkins and our real estate agent, it was so easy and enjoyable. While in the transition of purchasing our house, my wife and I decided that it would be in our best interest to prepare a will. Scarfone Hawkins did an excellent job. We are at peace that our dog Heidi will always be taken care of. We were very pleased with this service.

I can't speak towards my lawyer's representation with regards to other cases but the "counsel" to whom I was referred claimed that he had past experience with family type litigation but I believe that I was his first client for litigation of this nature. My matter could have been dealt with on our first hearing appearance as the judge suggested that he could deal with the matter then. The opposing counsel of course did not want this to happen so she declined the judge's suggestion. My counsel sat doodling on his notepad, making NO response to the judge. The judge watched me as I tried to get my lawyer's attention but he was in his own little world, not vn looking up from his page, so the matter was put over and went on for over a year after. He advised me that I had no choice but to accept the opposition's accounting even though I repeatedly told him that I did not agree with them. Amongst several other issues, after getting a substantial amount of my money, he proceeds to advise me to seek another lawyer who had expertise in my type of litigation...the litigation in which he claimed to have had much experience. He then proceeded to provide me with the contact information of three(3) OTHER law firms who could assist me! When I called him angry about his advise and pointed out how he bilked me out of alot of money, he tried to change his tune. Although I had to try to locate documents from over 7 years ago, which in itself was a task, he catered to the other counsel's every whim. I truly believe that he was intimidated by her. He kept asking me for the same documents after I have provided them previously. I pleaded that he work for me, when I expressed to him my concerns but that didn't help. I think he was in over his head and did not want to show a possible loss on his file so he wanted to pass it off. Of course I took his advice and sought new counsel, which cost me a ton more money, but I wasn't going to keep a lawyer wasn't confident in himself or who wouldn't give me contradictory information. I needed someone who knew what they were doing, and more importantly, who would actually fight his case with at least a little vigor. I have never experienced anything like it before and I hope that I never experience anything like it again. It was a VERY costly lesson to learn and one for which I am still paying!! Never again!!!!!

Harassment of their employees is their jam. Wasn't comfortable with the way they do business with the Accardis too.

Konstantine and Lindsay were amazing to work with. Attentive to detail and always quick to respond. Thank you very much for everything.

They have been an amazing help. Even with an extremely short time line they accepted me as there client. The firm definitely works hard to get the job done and done right. The team of individuals working on my case are very helpful understanding as well as patent and definitely have the team that work together to give you support and security knowing there crossing all the t's and dotting the i's. I'd highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal service.

If I could give zero stars, I would. If you want a law firm that takes your money, doesn’t read your case in order to represent you in court and allows the other lawyer to speak lies about you in front of a judge, then maybe this firm is for you. These people had a conflict of interest and were working for the other team. My step son was abused by his mother and needed our help, so we decided to fight for him. We thought they were the team to back us. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

We were very fortunate to have such great legal representation from Scarfone Hawkins while selling our home. Huge thank you to Konstantine, Lindsay and the whole team for all the efforts they put forward. They helped guide us and kept us informed at all times. Their confidence and expertise really helped to close our home on time and for that we are very grateful. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again, great team and superior results.

I have had the opportunity to work with Konstantine on a number of files, across commercial matters, franchising, real estate, and litigation. Time and again he and his team deliver positive results, and are extremely quick to respond and resolve matters. He is my go to in a pinch, and I know I am good hands when he is in my corner. He tells it like it is, and is reasonable with his rates. Having worked with Bay Street firms previously, it has been refreshing to find quality representation locally. I would not hesitate to recommend his services.
