Reviews and letters our clients have written, reproduced as they wrote them and trimmed only for length.
The thing clients mention most
It’s rarely the outcome. It’s being treated as a person, and having calls returned.
Boggs & Levin are a team of talented legal practitioners who are amazing at what they do best. Their professionalism is second to none. They treat you like a human being and not a case file. When you think all hope is lost, they bring back life and hope.
On Raymond Boggs
From clients whose matters Ray ran.
Mr. Boggs and his team were very kind and accommodating. Before my first meeting with him I was scared and didn’t know what would happen to me regarding my case. But his confidence and kind demeanor made me feel that everything was gonna be alright. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone.
Ray Boggs served as co-counsel and worked with our defence team to vigorously defend our interests. Raymond at all times was easy to reach, professional and a very thorough advocate regarding a nuanced fraud case of which we were absolutely not guilty of. With the verdict coming back as anticipated we are beyond grateful to have Ray and his staff in our corner.
Upon our first meeting, I steadily unclenched as it became abundantly clear that Raymond Boggs measured himself on an axis of reason, and conducted such measurements to a standard of excellence. … Not once did he attempt to patronize nor anesthetize me by jangling keys of hollow optimism in front of my face. … There are two things one can be certain of: that he can think on his feet, and that one can stand on his thinking.
Hired Boggs & Levin to represent me in a fairly public case. Raymond Boggs uncovered evidence clearing my name and the charges were withdrawn. This case is still ongoing for the other defendants however my matter is resolved to my complete satisfaction.
I was falsely charged with a serious criminal charge … and because my status in Canada was convention refugee I had a deportation risk. Raymond Boggs did a very good job and won the case and saved my future. No criminal record, and I can go to the school I want to study at.
Always being a law-abiding citizen, you would never think of needing a criminal lawyer. When I was put in that situation, Boggs & Levin, and their unbelievable support staff, took my situation seriously. … When I was feeling lost at first, Raymond Boggs met with me personally, and set my mind at ease.
I've been with Ray Boggs for the last 5 years and I respect him and his team for their loyalty to a case they took for me. Any trouble, he is just a phone call away. He doesn’t beat around the bush, it is straight-up information.
Two years ago my elderly dad was accused of sexual assault. … We had no experience with the legal system and didn’t know any lawyer to consult. On the phone, Raymond Boggs provided guidance and valuable advice. … He was very knowledgeable and accessible and prepared us for the worst. We won the case in the end.
Raymond Boggs told me not to worry and that he would take care of everything. … He always called for my permission and to let me know when the case was moving forward. I was never stressed with my case in his hands.
I had a family member who was charged with some very serious charges, Ray Boggs was very professional with us and was able to have the charges dropped. We would highly recommend Ray and his team for any of your legal needs.
On being told where you stand
What the charge could mean, and what it would cost, said out loud at the first meeting rather than three months in.
If you are looking for a law firm that will give you honest, up-front and straight answers when you are in trouble, look no further. Raymond Boggs told me at the initial consultation what I could be facing and how much it was going to cost me. … During the entire process I was kept informed. Best of all, their phone calls are not billed at exorbitant amounts.
On Rita Levin
From clients whose matters Rita ran.
I am beyond grateful for the outstanding work Rita did on my behalf. From the very beginning, she demonstrated not only her professionalism and extensive knowledge but also her genuine warmth and care. Rita was always available whenever I needed her, offering support, answering my questions, and providing valuable guidance during stressful times.
Rita Levin has defended me on numerous occasions and proved her competency time and time again. … She is effective, professional and courteous. She has defended me in front of different judges, has argued with various Crowns, and prevented me from having a permanent record. The Boggs & Levin firm extended me a hand when I was in a deep hole.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for everything you helped me with before, during and after my trial. Your knowledge, preparation and execution had a wonderful impact on this case. Not only were you prepared, but you explained it in a way I could understand.
On the firm as a whole
From clients we both worked on, or who were helped by the office around us.
My case was anything but easy and was in London, Ontario, a great distance for travel. This law firm took my case and represented me with professionalism, expertise and human kindness. … They will fight for your rights, and protect you in your time of need.
Having been wrongly charged left me wondering what to do at first. … Throughout the court process, counsel constantly said he was determined to exonerate me. Sure enough, with the precision of a surgeon he dissected the prosecutor’s allegations and ultimately ended up with the desired result of a not-guilty verdict.
I did my research and was also referred to Boggs and Levin by a good friend. Right from the start I liked the attitude and professionalism. It was easy to communicate and reach him when I needed it. He explained everything in a polite and respectful manner.
These reviews describe what particular clients experienced in their own matters. None of them predicts or guarantees the result in yours. We publish what people wrote and not who they are, so every reviewer here is shortened to a first name and an initial, or to initials alone, whatever name they signed it with.
If we acted for you
A short note from somebody we actually represented is worth more to the next person than anything we could write about ourselves.
Write a review on Google
It takes a couple of minutes and it goes on our public Google listing, where the next person deciding whether to call us will read it. Say what actually happened. An honest account of a difficult case helps somebody more than praise does.
Please do not put anything about the facts of your matter in a public review. What passed between us stays privileged, and a review is not the place to set out a case. If something went wrong, call (416) 645-2888 and tell us directly first.
Reviews are useful. A conversation is better.
Describe the charge and you’ll hear where you stand. It costs nothing and there’s no obligation afterwards.
We are a private practice and our fees reflect the work involved. A serious matter is prepared over months, and we keep our numbers low so each file gets the hours it needs. We will tell you what your case is likely to cost on the first call, before you commit to anything. And if the honest answer is that duty counsel, Legal Aid or another firm would serve you better, we will tell you that instead.
