I was super nervous and anxious about hiring a lawyer but Val and her team made me feel incredibly at home and comfortable at each visit to the office. Her staff are amazing! They always remembered my name and offered me a glass of chilled water. But what a loved most was how compassionate Val was. I felt safe in her hands.

Val and her team are compassionate, fair and honest. They truly had the best interest for myself and my four children in mind throughout this extremely difficult time. I love and appreciate Val’s sense of humour and I felt taken care of and not like just a “client”. I cannot thank these people enough.

Val at Pathways was a dream to work with. We appreciated having a lawyer whom empathize with our situation but also knew what she was doing! Settling out of court! We have already recommended her to friends. Thank you for all your work!
