"First time I talked to Katie about my case I began to understand why her firm is in high demand. In a short time, Katie distilled my case down to the essentials and came up with a plan that saved time and money. Extremely grateful for her firms service."

"Black & Associates is a firm I would recommend to anyone seeking legal advice or counsel. In my case, I was directed to Black & Associates through an acquaintance who had worked at the firm, and they did not disappoint. I first spoke with Katie who made herself available to me and helped me to understand the entire process, start to finish, in terms of my file. The details that she provided and the ability to translate the legal jargon into plain language so that I could follow was so appreciated as the world of law is not one that I am familiar with. This was a theme in my interactions with Black & Associates, as every member of the team was able to speak to me in a language I understood and was patient when I had questions or expressed my perspective. My file was assigned to Desneiges Mitchell and Emily Conte. Once again, I can only sing their praises. Desneiges was super down to earth and was very empathetic to what I was experiencing and supported me in the way I needed to make informed decisions along the way. Emily, working closely with Desneiges and eventually becoming my primary contact, also did a phenomenal job of navigating my file and moving me toward an outcome that was both desirable and provided closure to my specific situation. Thanks to these two women, the best possible outcome was achieved and I will be forever grateful to them for this. When I had feedback for the team about a couple thoughts I had on my file, Desneiges and Emily welcomed my feedback and made me feel heard and understood, which only leads me to say with even more confidence that if you are considering whether or not to work with this firm, I can tell you this: these people care about their clients, they are smart yet humble, efficient, and brilliant at what they do. I felt supported at every step of the way and the way in which they worked on my behalf is nothing short of what I hoped for in navigating this process for the first time when I knew nothing about what it would entail. Desneiges and Emily, thank you for the effort and care you put into my file and for making me feel safe and supported in the process. With your guidance, I felt equipped to make decisions along the way with confidence and the work that you did for me on this file has made a difference in my life in so many ways. Katie, you spent a solid amount of time on the phone with me when we first connected. You were empathetic, human, and took the time to understand my situation and perspective. I appreciate that you took the time to do that as someone who had never had to seek legal counsel before. Jane, you were always quick to reply to me and I appreciate every time you connected me with who I needed to connect with. Thank you, I appreciate you! While I was very nervous when I began the process, my file is now complete with the best possible outcome and it’s all due to the brilliant work of Black & Associates. While I hope to never require your services again, I know that I if I ever require legal counsel you will be my first call. Thank you for everything, from my family to yours!"

"I could not speak highly enough of Nicholas and Amanda at Black Law & Associates. They were both brilliant in dealing with a delicate situation and supporting me while facing some legal stress. I needed the reassurance more than ever and Amanda talked me through my options, making me feel assured. Nicholas provided a free consultation and was fair, open and informative. Definitely recommend their services - you'd be in very safe hands!"

"After enduring a challenging period of discrimination, I felt isolated and misunderstood by everyone except my family. It was during this time that I met attorney Desneiges Mitchell and Emily her articling student from Black and Associates. From our initial interaction, they projected a sense of genuine by concern and expertise. They patiently broke down the legal jargon and presented me with clear options and actionable steps. Both Emily and Desneiges, are an exceptional team. They ensured that all my queries were addressed promptly, making me feel valued and supported. I wholeheartedly recommend Desneiges and Emily to anyone who feels trapped and disoriented in their legal battles. their compassion and proficiency not only stand out but also give you a glimmer of hope during tough times. Furthermore, they consistently went above and beyond. Their commitment was evident in their willingness to work over weekends and adjust to my unconventional times and schedule, ensuring every question I had was comprehensively addressed. Their unwavering dedication extended to throughly preparing me for all proceedings, no matter the hour. Desneiges, and Emily, your unparalleled legal knowledge not only delivered justice but also renewed my belief in the fairness of our judicial system. I am immensely grateful to you!"
