I highly recommend Zoran Gelic, for your legal representation. Zoran has been outstanding, the moment I engaged him to represent myself in a legal matter, regarding a retaining wall, constructed by a developer neighbouring my property. His knowledge on retaining walls is exemplary & he quickly identified the wrongs committed, involving the construction of the retaining wall. His confident demeanour, & approach to his role as my Lawyer, gave me the same confidence every time I was in communication with him. He is pedantic in his work & took time in producing quality communication with the other party, producing a settlement offer, from the other party, with his very first correspondence. He understands the emotional impact, legal matters involving property can create, but he quickly eases those emotions & reminds you of the facts involved in legislation & law. Thank you for your representation Zoran!

Great service from Alice at ADVIILAW in completing my legal requirements and providing essential advice during the setup of my new business. Alice was easy to get along with and it felt like I was working with a real person who was genuinely invested in my business venture. This was a pleasant surprise, as I had fears that I would potentially run into another stereotypical lawyer that has the personality of a door handle and sees you as just another dollar figure on their accounts! Insightful and knowledgeable, Alice would without fail get back to my inquires within the day (usually within a couple of hours) which was essential to me as I was dealing with a variety of moving parts in the set up of the business that almost always required immediate attention. I would thoroughly recommend Alice and ADVIILAW partner Zoran to anyone that requires their service. If need be, I will definitely be using them again.
