From Shyah Delarom, client of Val Hemminger at Pathway Legal, British Columbia.
I felt Val was listening and understood my situation. I saw she wanted to help me and she knows her job.
She was upfront, very professional and I had a good feeling during our meeting. I also liked everybody in your firm and felt safe.
I was treated with respect and compassion. There are certain qualities in your firm that I can’t point out yet but I can feel it.
It gives me hope to heal from certain pains. I also feel possibility for better life and I think Andrea is awesome. She was very kind to guide me to a wonderful lawyer. I was safe with Val. Thank you
