Retaining Lorne Fine was the best decision that I made during my divorce. He gave thoughtful consideration to matters, contemplating issues from various perspectives. When appropriate, Lorne generated alternatives, carefully appraising the potential benefits and risks of each strategy. His brilliant legal manoeuvres consistently resulted in positive outcomes. Lorne is an extremely efficient lawyer who strives to resolve matters quickly and effectively. It was my experience that he was readily available and responsive when necessary. When warranted, Lorne strongly and vigorously advocated on my behalf.
Beyond providing his wise counsel and legal expertise throughout the process, Lorne offered support, reassurance and kindness during many challenging situations. I was very appreciative of his collaborative approach, his congeniality and his wonderful sense of humour. Words cannot express my deep gratitude for Lorne’s presence and legal acumen throughout this arduous journey. Lorne is an extraordinary individual and a phenomenal lawyer whom I would recommend without reservation.
Thank you Lorne again for your incredible support through the worst experience. You and Dara and your team have made this process empowering I wouldn’t be where I am without you and your team.
Going through a breakup is hard. When there are children involved it's extremely difficult to function.
I have been going through court matters with another lawyer for 2 years prior to being introduced to Ravital.
Ravital has truly made my life so much more manageable. Her knowledge and expertise gave me the outcome that I was looking for in my court matters.
I'm so appreciative of what she's done for me and my kids. These words are truly not enough to show my gratitude.
Thank you so much Ravital for representing me and helping me to open another chapter in my life.
After years of dealing with my old lawyer that didn't do much on my case, I was lucky to meet Ravital Khardas at Fine & Associates Professional Corporation.
I want to take a moment to thank Ravital. I cannot express enough gratitude to Ravital Khardas and her remarkable team at Fine & Associates firm for their dedication, professionalism and support throughout my divorce case. Ravital displayed an impressive/strong level of legal expertise and her comprehensive knowledge of family law in Canada was truly remarkable.
When someone is going through a divorce, it can be an emotionally draining and complicated process. But Ravital made it her priority to ensure that I was comfortable and well-informed on everything every step of the way. Most importantly, she respond promptly.
I would also like to extend my appreciation to Kortni Sharkey, Stephanie Mazza, and Irene Awuah who was in constant touch with me regarding the case and ensuring that all details were effectively managed.
I would HIGHLY recommend Ravital Khardas to handle all aspects of your divorce. I give her a 10 out of 10 - ET- toronto
Dear Mr. Fine,
I am a current client of your law firm in the very capable hands of Dara Church and Mary Doyle. I am reaching out to share my experience this far. Having been thru a very difficult divorce once before I have the not so unique (being my second time now) view of what a great lawyer and team should be like.
You should know that your team is tenacious, passionate, dedicated and empathetic to my families plight. As well your team manages my emotional expectations surgically to minimize my own destructive tendencies in this process.
I send this to you in private as I always feel that family lawyers are judged on results that they sometimes have little control over as I feel that everyone in this process gets the same deal, but there job is to help navigate the parties journey thru the process itself.
This is what they have done a great job at.
Irrespective of my particular outcome, I truly feel that I have the best advocate for me.
I hope this helps you foster more associates like Mrs. Church and Mrs. Doyle.
Thank you,
Dear Dara - I just wanted to thank you for representing me so well and achieving the outcome we did today. I truly appreciate your help in getting me the best possible outcome so quickly and being so composed and prepared in presenting facts to help me.
Thank you so much for your help as always. You are helping me see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and this will all work out for the better vs. what I had to live like before.
I would like to thank Ravital Khardas and her team for helping me during a complicated divorce process. She listened to my concerns, always responded to my emails and phone calls, and the process was resolved the way I wanted in a short period of time. Great teamwork!
Thank you!
At Fine & Associates I found the legal representation I was looking for. Great experience overall having Sabina as my lawyer. Sabina was outstanding, calm, patient, reasonable in the turmoil I was going through. She understands her client, very insightful and is an expert in her field. Would highly recommend her services.
I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent service provided to me by Lorne Fine and Dara Church, of Fine & Associates. The level of professionalism along with their exceptional approach to handling my case was impeccable. I am extremely grateful I contacted them for my legal proceedings. They were extremely swift and responsive to take appropriate action in resolving my case, and I am very pleased with the end result. I would highly recommend anybody to consult their firm in resolving their legal matters.
Dara Church was such a pleasure to work with. Her professionalism and compassion towards her clients is above and beyond. She absorbed and listened to the details of my particular case and made convincing recommendations and decisions in resolving my situation with positive results. She provided me with wise counsel and good guidance and was a tremendous help for me while addressing the intricacies of my case which resulted in an expeditious resolution. I would highly recommend her to anybody seeking legal counseling for their matters.
I would also like to thank Mary for her exceptional behind the scenes work. This collaborative teamwork makes them a great team in handling anybody's matter. I am extremely happy with the results.
Thank you!
Fine and Associates is one of the best service I have any experience…Am beyond words to describe them. Sabina Haqqani is one the best lawyer I will always recommend to any one. She indeed did a job on my case and I would use her over and over again…The service was fast, trusted and reliable. Thank you, thank you!
I would highly recommend Sabina Haqqani and her team. Sabina and Pat were both very professional and helpful through out the process. They helped finalize my complicated matter expeditiously and were there each step of the way. Sabina was highly knowledgeable and skillful. It was a pleasure working with them.
Sabina Haqqani was very Helpful, Understanding and Knowledgeable!
Working with Ravital made my life so much easier. She made me feel like she was in my corner and doing everything she could in my best interest. When I came to the office she never made me feel rushed and always took time to speak with me, answer my questions completely and made sure that I left satisfied that I understood what was happening with my case and that I had no unanswered questions.
We did not always agree as we were dealing with an aggressive lawyer and ex wife that wanted to continue with her style of life without contributing anything to relationship. She fought for my case and even got me much better outcome than I could expect. I have experienced much pain and suffering and found her compassionate and understanding of my injuries no matter how out to lunch I may have been from time to time.
Ravital took great care of my case, is very knowledgeable and I felt like he truly understood what I was going through physically and emotionally which was a great support at a difficult time. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family and have.
Divorce and separation(Family Law) not an easy thing to go thru I had multiple properties and businesses, and we were able to work thru everything in a fair and honest outcome without going broke in lawyer fees.
Thank you Ravital!
Sabina has been a blessing. After nealy 3 years of stumbling & failing to locate someone worthy, I've finally found the best lawyer.
I wish I hired her at the very beginning instead of going through a parade of 4 bad lawyers.
She is thorough, knowledgeable, and great at her job.
I am very grateful to Ravital Khardas and her team at Fine and Associates. My divorce was complex and very intimidating. Ravital took the time to go through all my questions and issues. She was patient when explaining the process as well as working through the strategy with me. Ravital made sure I was comfortable with every decision moving forward. Thanks to Ravital, I was calm through this scary process knowing that I was in good hands. I highly recommend Ravital as she is extremely knowledgeable and supportive. Without Ravital, the outcome would not have been as successful or as speedy as it was.
Excellent law firm!
I had the opportunity to work with Sabina Haqqani (Matrimonial Lawyer) she is and was very professional and dedicated. It made things a lot easier considering the amount of stress someone experience’s through this type of situation.
Ms. Haqqani took time to make sure I had a full understanding my options and also helped me make the right choices. Her patience and understanding had been top notch!
I’m so grateful for all her help and that she got me to a resolution that feels right for me.
I am very pleased with the service I received from Fine and Associates. It was such a pleasure working with Sabina Haqqani! She was compassionate, kind, supportive and extremely prompt in providing a response to my emails. Going through a divorce is extremely stressful and emotionally draining and having a lawyer on your side who is competent, diligent is such a stress reliever. Sabina, is extremely professional and efficient! I am totally happy with my final settlement and would recommend Sabina without a doubt! Sabina, I am extremely grateful to you and appreciated all your help!
Thanks so much Sabina, you are the best!
Sabina Haqqani was extremely kind and thorough with her process, explanations and made the entire divorce proceedings much easier than would have been. She listened, guided and gave her professional experience that ultimately made me succeed in a settlement that benefit me and my children.
Fine and Associates handled my file quickly and effectively. Sabina Haqqani helped me after my previous lawyer mishandled my case, she quickly resolved my divorce professionally and efficiently.
From the moment I was uncertain if getting legal assistance with my case was a possibility up until case closure Fine & associates were there for me. The first consult was a relief after having other firms tell me they couldn't help me, Mr. Fine assured me that they would help me with my situation.
I worked with Sabina Haqqani and throughout the process she was available, quick to respond and always a positive light during my case even when it felt like we weren't going to get results.
Thank you Sabina! Keep up the good work.
Sabina was very helpful for me during the process. She is a great listener and knows exactly what the client needs in this difficult time. She was very responsive and was able to help me wrap everything up quickly and I really appreciated that she respected my wishes in the matter. She truly has the client’s best interest at heart and she has integrity. I would highly recommend her.
My experience working with Fine and Associates has been extremely positive and smooth. I could not ask for a better, more supportive, reassuring and prompt lawyer during such a stressful time in my life. As soon as I started the process Lorne Fine called me and reassured me that everything would be ok. He always had my back. Sabina Haqqani was the best! She is a very competent and diligent lawyer. She makes the process much easier because she is so efficient and dedicated to ensuring her clients feel reassured and defended. I recommend Lorne and Associates for any divorce matter. You will feel supported the whole way through.
This review is regarding the service I received from Ms. Sabina Haqqani.
Ms. Haqqani helped me through the most difficult time of my life with an immense amount of compassion and professionalism. My divorce was a lengthy one, it took two years to finalize. Ms. Haqqani saw me through it every step of the way with patience even though I was a nervous wreck. Ms. Haqqani was always honest and straightforward in her advice. She never left me hanging, she promptly answered all emails, and if I needed clarification on something she would always give me a call. I simply could not have gone through my horrible divorce without her, and I wish her all the absolute best in her career. If you are looking for a lawyer who truly feels like she has your back, and is not only after the biggest payout for herself, I highly recommend Ms. Sabina Haqqani. Lawyers have a bad rep for being inexplicably expensive and cold hearted, but that is not the case with Ms. Sabina Haqqani, she will treat you with compassion and kindness during your toughest times while at the same time getting you results. I would recommend her any day to any one that may find themselves in need of a lawyer.
*Also, regarding price, this firm is WAYYY more affordable than others I have experience with. With Sabina, you actually SEE the work being done that you are being charged for, and not just for opening your emails or having your case with them like in some other firms.
Ravital Khardas performed a clinic during our meeting with my ex-wife and her counsel! It was that impressive! I sat back and spent the rest of the meeting editing poems for my next book. I would have nominated Ravital for any legal awards, if I knew of any. I drove home relaxed and confident knowing I could not possibly be better represented unless I was a billionaire with 20 former federal judges representing me. My ex-wife drove home with her counsel and when she arrived at our marital home, she was fulminating! She stormed through the door swearing and spewing invective and profanity about my “hot shot lawyer” and where did I find “my super lawyer”, and how could I afford my “celebrity lawyer”?
I conducted hours of online research to get the best divorce counsel I could afford. I was immediately impressed with Ravital Khardas’s Curriculum Vitae, experience, and education. She was young, but clearly talented, industrious, tenacious, studious, and diligent. Ms Khardas is trilingual which is also a huge advantage.
As a male encountering a notoriously precarious divorce law process, I can honestly state if it wasn’t for Ms. Khardas, I’m certain my separation experience would have been horrid, overly stressful, and financially crippling. Also, it’s not your job to worry about and mull over the legal issues surrounding your divorce, it’s your lawyer’s. I quickly learned this with Ms. Khardas. All my legal issues were in the best hands possible which allowed me to focus on the myriad emotional, familial, psychological, children, and real estate issues one must address in such trying times. Ms. Khardas is also a granite island of tranquility in a tumultuous divorce sea. Her calm, competent, knowledgeable, and sagacious demeanour is most comforting! I fully trusted my life and future to Ravital Khardas, and it was, and is, hands down, one of the most brilliant and important decisions I’ve ever made in my life!
A colleague with connections in the legal community recommended Fine & Associates to navigate my high conflict divorce. Ravital Khardas looked after my file with care and good counsel. We achieved resolution of the initial conflict much faster than I anticipated by using mediation while simultaneously preparing for Family Court if necessary, and I had the same positive outcome when a renegotiation was required 2 years later. This firm offers comprehensive Family Law services and achieved a beneficial outcome for me very efficiently.
First of all, I want to say a big thank you to Ravital, Tanya, Lorne and the legal clerks of Fine & Associates Professional Corporation for their professionalism, expertise and the dedication they have put into family matter which I was extremely satisfied with the outcome. I transferred my case to Fines & Associates Professional Corporation from another law firm where I retained Tanya and Ravital. I was certainly not disappointed. Both Ravital and Tanya showed empathy, compassion, and guidance which made the transition very easy for me. Communication was always very detail, clear and concise. I had a very sensitive case but with their vast knowledge and the assistance of Mr. Fine they came up with great recommendations for effective solutions. Ravital devoted her time to my case working on Christmas holiday from her laptop in a Tim Horton’s so that court submissions were on time. My case was finalized in less than a year from the time I retained them which made my healing process faster and easier. I would highly recommend Ravital and Tanya to anyone that is looking for someone that is very professional, knowledgeable and committed to success.
In addition to being excellent and well-skilled lawyers, Lorne Fine and Stephanie Pasternak illustrated a character trait that I was not necessarily expecting – compassion. During a challenging, highly charged and emotional separation, they truly cared about my well-being, as well as the welfare of my kids. And no matter how difficult things got, they never wavered from this. Mr. Fine and Ms. Pasternak are fantastic lawyers, but if it's possible, they are better people.
Lorne J Fine - I would like to thank you for helping me in my darkest days. You kept me calm and gave me faith that in the end everything would work out and it did. I appreciate the dedication you had to my case, you were never out of reach. Thank you for all your support and guidance. With your help I am now confident that I can move forward with my life.
I transferred my case to Ravital from another law firm…I was not disappointed. Ravital was always available when needed and our communication was clear and effective. Ravital listened to my concerns and desires and came up with the best recommendations on how to take my case to the direction I wanted it to go. I am pleased with Ravital's work and would definitely recommend her.
Aside from being an exceptional lawyer, Lorne Fine is a very genuine person. In my personal experience he has shown sensitivity and compassion far beyond what I expected. My case had made little progress for years until I retained Mr. Fine. Recently, I was given my first victory in court and I am confident he will provide me with a fair and just settlement in the end. I have recommended Mr. Fine to many of my friends and family without hesitation.
I was a client of Fine & Associates Professional Corporation in 2006-2007. I retained their services in order to assist me with a family matter. I was very satisfied with the service that I received during that period of time. It was very professional. My case was very sensitive. It could have easily have become more complicated and difficult, however, it was managed very well by Lorne Fine. He guided my case to an optimal resolution of all of my needs. He managed to resolve a very difficult situation. They showed a reasonable level of ownership of my case. My concerns were addressed in a timely and appropriate order in order to achieve the best results. I would like to thank Mr. Lorne fine (Lorne Fine Professional) and I will recommend their services to anyone who would like to have a peace of mind during this difficult time in their lives and achieve a positive final outcome.
It is my opinion that Lorne Fine is probably the best Family lawyer in Toronto. I have known him and employed his services with complete satisfaction for over 15 years. Clients of mine who I have referred to him have been equally please with his dedication and expertise. I am happy to recommend Mr. Fine to anyone desiring the very best in legal services. He is always on your side!
Fine is foremost a master deal maker.
I had hired three lawyers prior to Lorne Fine. He was the first to not only protect my rights, but that of my daughter as well. Unlike my previous experiences, he was the first to inform me of my rights. I would not hire any one else to represent me.
I retained Lorne Fine to assist me with my divorce proceeding. Although I was in Israel and the proceedings were in Toronto, Lorne made the process very easy. My case was handled in a very experienced and honest manner. Notwithstanding that I was half way around the world, I was always kept appraised as to the status of my matter on an ongoing basis. I was very happy with Lorne’s work and his effort. He fought for my case for almost a year and a half and did an extremely good job. He never gave up on my case although my former spouse’s family was extremely difficult to deal with. Lorne also was willing to be flexible with his fees when I was having financial difficulties and my spouse’s family was prolonging the proceedings. I would highly recommend Lorne Fine to anyone who is experiencing a difficult Divorce.
I would recommend Lorne because he's a realist and always in control of a situation or conversation. As a result, he is able to get people to the table to negotiate and will fight for what your needs are.
Lorne was recommended to me from a friend of mine. Lorne went to court for me several times and he got great results. I would recommend him to any of my friends going through a divorce.
Lorne is an experienced straight-shooter who understands that divorce is emotionally and financially stressful. He knows that focusing on what is really important and concluding matters quickly will allow more time for the healing process to begin. I have recommended Lorne to friends who are getting divorced.
Lorne did a great job representing me in my separation and divorce. I was very pleased with the outcome in what could have been a difficult and costly divorce. Most importantly, having Lorne take charge of my case gave me the peace of mind to get on with living.
Divorce is a very difficult time for anybody. Mr. Fine is very understanding and has great knowledge in this field. He responds quickly and has provided me with good advice in very difficult situations. Together with a group of very professional staff, the team has made my ordeal much easier to handle.
I have been working with Mr. Lorne Fine since the fall of 2007, dealing with the relatively complex case of old support variation, arrears adjustment and divorce. My experiences from working with Mr. Fine were very positive. I was truly impressed by his professionalism, clarity of presentation and comprehensive knowledge of the Family Law. Although we never communicated in person, the remote exchange of information via internet and phone with Mr. Fine and his staff was sufficient to prepare quality court submission. The staff of Mr. Fine office was very efficient, professional and pleasure to work with. In my particular case, Mr. Fine did very good job in our submission and when arguing in court on my behalf. He achieved the divorce and very satisfactory judgment concerning the financial issues. I would strongly recommend Mr. Fine to anyone looking for a really good lawyer. He is the best lawyer I ever had.”
When I initially contacted Lorne Fine, I was at the lowest point in my life. His empathetic and professional manner are what caused me to retain his services. Lorne made it possible for me to secure a satisfactory settlement during my separation process. Lorne is strong and competent. He advised me off all of my options and helped guide me toward a settlement which was both legally sound and beneficial for me. Lorne's and his assistant Lindsay's responses to myself and communication to opposing counsel were more timely than I ever expected. I have and will continue to recommend Lorne to my friends and family that require family law services. Thanks to Lorne and his steadfast attention to my case, I am finally able to move forward with my life for which I am most grateful.
A divorce, even an amicable one like mine, is very stressful, emotionally draining and the legalities are confusing to say the least. I found Ravital Khardas, of Fine & Associates, to be professional and knowledgeable but what impressed me most was her kindness and thoroughness in explaining details that were foreign and sometimes alarming to me. This was of great comfort and peace of mind. I would recommend her highly.
Thank you Lorne Fine for your professionalism, in taking care of me, and looking out for my best interests for the past couple of years. You will not be forgotten, nor will I ever have any regrets as far as how things played out for me and my kids. You you continuous success in your career.
Lorne Fine graciously agreed to provide a public workshop for our organization on the complex issue of division of assets on marriage breakdown. He was very knowledgeable and professional in his presentation. He has many years of experience as a family law lawyer and patiently answered many difficult questions. One of Lorne 's many strengths is that he understands domestic violence and the role that it can play when a couple separates and begins legal proceedings. This is exceedingly important as the abuse very often continues and escalates when legal proceedings begin. He engaged the audience in a warm and welcoming manner and made each person feel relaxed and comfortable. Everyone involved indicated to us that they had lean red a great deal from Lorne and his associate Ravital. One of the participants remarked to Lorne "I am so sorry that I did not know about you when I engaged my lawyer". We are very grateful to Lorne and Ravital for giving us their time and expertise and for offering their time to us in the future.
Dear Lorne - Words cannot begin to say thank you. Never mind did you do such an incredible job representing me, giving me the support and respecting me and now you send me this unbelievable gift. I am just speechless. You are truly a "mench" through and through.
Thanks for all of your help over the last couple years. I appreciate all of your hard work and dedication given towards me and my kids. You're amazing!!!!"
We retained Fine & Associates in August of 2012 to handle divorce proceedings that had been dragging on for several years. The team at Fine & Associates are professional, friendly, courteous, thorough and extremely patient accommodating a hearing impairment. Though it took longer than expected to resolve the corollary matters Lorne showed his continued dedication to resolving this matter working through boxes of documents, a mountain of correspondence adjusting his schedule to suit our needs resulting in his working weekends and nights. We are extremely happy to say the proceeding were resolved in November 2014 and we are now able to enjoy a life of love, health, happiness and peace. I would highly recommend this team of professionals Thank you Lorne & Lindsay!
Lorne Fine delivered on what was asked and didn't take no for an answer. He knows his family law and because he's a good father, it helped make him force to be reckoned with.
I'm very grateful to have found Ravital Khardas to represent me during my very difficult divorce. She is an exceptional lawyer. She always acted in my best interests, she is professional, dedicated, caring, supportive and extremely knowledgeable of legal proceedings in order for us to be very well prepared throughout each stage. She explained every aspect to me in detail so that I was able to understand the complicated legal system easily. She provided very clear direction based on her extensive knowledge and experience to ensure the best outcome. I have recommended her to others in difficult situations of divorce.
Without reservation or hesitation I would highly recommend the legal services of Fine & Associates. The professionals at this firm have demonstrated a level of expertise, competence and vision, in my divorce case, that only numerous years of legal experience can bring. Should thoughtful, creative, thorough and practical legal representation be your goal, then Fine & Associates Family & Divorce Lawyers is your informed choice.
I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to Ravital Khardas for the support, understanding and excellent legal guidance that she provided to me throughout my legal separation process. I was freshly separated and completely confused and emotional when I walked into her office looking for a lawyer that I would feel comfortable with and one that I felt got me and my situation. I knew very quickly that Ravital was that person and I feel very fortunate to have had her to represent me. Ravital always showed me that she had my best interests at heart. I was able to contact her for any issue that was important to me and she would take the time to respond in a timely manner. Her calmness, compassion, clarity, insight, patience, expertise, professionalism and knowledge of family law not only resulted in a very satisfactory and fair separation agreement but also helped me to become a stronger and more confident person who is healing and embracing the changes in my life.
I would recommend her highly. Thank you, Ravital!
Rachel is the best!
I switched lawyers in the middle of my divorce proceedings, and I'm very happy I did. Rachel made me feel safe, provided simple and accurate explanations whenever I had a question, and I got the best deal possible in my divorce because of her.
I have worked with Rachel Nusinoff for almost a year now.
I found her to be very professional while at the same time, very compassionate.
She understood my situation and wanted to work hard to help me achieve my goal of a fair settlement.
I felt comfortable and strong knowing that she was there for me.
She made me understand that I had to focus on myself and on my future.
She was aggressive when she had to be, but really understood my needs as she wanted me to be confident and happy with my final decision.
She was a pleasure to deal with and she always got back to me as soon as possible.
I would recommend Rachel to family and friends as I know they will be in good hands.
Lorne and Lindsay - Thanks again for all your help with my situation. I know it's your job but you made this very stress free for me considering how chaotic my life is currently. I will now be able to focus on my new job properly and live the jetset life I deserve! very truly.
I have retained Lorne over the years since 1997. Dollar wise Lorne has been excellent value, taking ownership, and accountability in his work. He is straightforward in his approach in applying family law and from personal experience well respected by judges which is a huge plus before even entering a courtroom. If an ex is blameworthy, Lorne will find those points and defend you like a grizzly to her cubs. I believe to have had a most difficult case involving access, support and property division to all of which I was successful in Superior Court, initiated by Lorne's approach and guidance. In my matter I was able to defend my ex's motion seeking $100k as well as having her pay me rental income over the years she refused to sell the family home. If you are willing to do some legwork on your own, Lorne can carefully guide you through the steps as well as assign his highly competent assistants to your case. Have always recommended Lorne Fine and his associates and contine to do so!
I strongly suggest to call Daniel Dominitz, who has done amazing work for me and my son. He is a very dedicated lawyer. He fully understands the client's situation and works very hard to bring the best result to the client. My case was very hard. However, I luckily met Daniel, and he changed the whole situation. I am sure you will be happier and worry-free after talking with him!
