William J Shymko Law Office

What a joke.

Hours of operation is incorrect. Voice message says open till 5 on Friday. Secretary gives attitude and told me it's closing soon. Waste of time

William was super helpful and kind in all manners of professionalism, intellect and courtesy.

Mr.Shymko literally saved my life. I was denied access to my most precious little girl right before Christmas and he literally swooped in like Superman and made things right. Hero of the day.

The worst lawyer And law office in Alberta you can go With , save your money and time and go somewhere else , unprofessional, rude , money seekers ,if they ruined your life , don’t hesitate to report them to the law society !

While I cannot attest to any of Mr.Shymko's abilities as far as court or having him retained, I can say, that I had called for a free 30 minute consult. As a self represented litigant, I've had a mountain of obstacles to tackle. I've done a paid consult and talked to a couple other lawyers regarding my case. In all of these instances, I've recieved very little actual belp. Only lawyers telling me as little as they can in order to entice me to retain their services and keep me in the dark as to what manner of action may actually give me the best chance of success or be the most favorable strategy. Reception was extremely bright and cheerful and happy to help. Mr.Shymko himself gave me over an hour of his time with no commitment on my part, nor did he ever seem to elude to the fact that I should be retaining him for my best chance of success. He was transparent and presented many strategies that if I were to have had when I'd first spoken to the previous lawyers, I would have been miles ahead in regards to my desired outcome. He also provided me with excellent direction as far as what moves I should make now. He was respectful and genuinely seemed to have a vested interest in helping parents in avoiding undue hardship in their family law issues. Helping to create a more positive environment for all involved. I would suggest at least giving him a chance despite these negative reviews. Make a choice to hire family law counsel out of a place of strategic necessity. Not out of the fear mongering tactics of big hot shot lawyers who will keep you in the dark. Do the work yourself and then decide as to whether or not you actually need help. There are plenty of resources available to all you just need to do the work. When you've done so, call Mr. Shymko to confirm your decisions and direction and have him help you strategize. Thanks for your help.

One of the one most terrible human beings known to mankind. Does not care about his clients and is only in it for the pay chq do not waste your money or time and go some where else where they will actually care about the clients needs and wants. I could go on and on how terrible of a lawyer he is. GO ELSE WHERE!!!!!!!
