I had some estate complications and technicalities I needed sorted out and was referred to Heath Law by another in-town firm. The major issues I was dealing with were clarified with a very short consultation. I'm almost mad I didn't come to them first. I am very satisfied with this firm's work so far.
After consulting a couple of law firms here in Nanaimo,with less than encouraging responses,Travis Sippel of Heath Law,took my case and took the anxiety completely off my shoulders.thank you for the unparalleled service and I would highly recommend these guys to anyone.Thanks again guys
The Gentleman we dealt with went over and above during our 1 hr consultation. He reviewed our information carefully and fairly heard us out. Took a realistic approach and showed us full support.
Good service, friendly front staff.
Ian Gove, Corporate & Commercial lawyer, was super helpful in getting to a quite acceptable final solution.
I received amazing personal service at a very fair price. I could not be happier with the results obtained. I highly recommend Heath Law for all your legal needs.
