What our law firm clients have to say:
Excellent experience.
Thorough and timely research with a well-written memorandum that was easily incorporated into an opinion for a client.
We pulled Paulina into the preparation of a complex class action trial. Paulina became a valuable member of our team from the get-go. Her trial preparation experience and her infinite flexibility helped her blend seamlessly.
Renée is a wealth of knowledge. . . She has helped tremendously with taking a weight off my shoulder, which has freed up other time to work on billable hours.
I was very pleased. The lawyer who assisted me [with the factum] did very good work and in a timely manner. We were successful with a leave to the Court of Appeal.
Susan was a lifesaver.
She was incredibly responsive and the research she conducted was on point. I am also pleased that her results were cost effective. I would highly recommend her and
Flex Legal.
So impressed with the
turnaround time.
And the freelance lawyer we worked with was an excellent drafter.
