I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Richard Aikens for his professionalism and generosity. Although I was not in a position to retain counsel, he took the time to provide me with clear written guidance on how to appropriately handle interactions with the police, as well as offering expert advice over the phone. His assistance was extremely helpful during a stressful time, and I truly appreciate the care and respect he showed throughout. Should I be in a position to hire legal representation in the near future I will definitely be looking to retain Mr. Aikens . I highly recommend him for his knowledge, integrity and commitment to helping others Thank you Mr Aikens

At the beginning of 2019, I found myself facing accusations of an assault charge involving alcohol. Things had been going better in my life for quite some time but with a prior record, the outcome was not looking bright for me. From my first phone consultation with Richard Robertson, to my on going dealings with Virginia Dolinska, Mark Cardy, Lavinia Inbar and Susan Cornett ... everything was okay. They were professional beyond belief, as well as sympathetic, reassuring, detailed and prompt. Even taking and returning calls on their commute to and from the office. Money is a bit of an issue for me at this time and they were willing to work with me and were very flexible in regards to a payment plan. I attended court twice. Once for a bail alteration and once for resolution resulting in charge withdrawn and no additions to my existing record. If Google would let me give these guys 6 put of 5 stars I would. So, if you have a pressing legal issue ... better call Aitken Robertson, they can and will take care of you.

Recently my son needed legal support in Peterborough in defense of a criminal matter. We had the good fortune to randomly choose the law firm of Aitken Robertson and even more fortunate to be assigned Mr. Dan Lemaire as our attorney. He was friendly, sympathetic and as it turned out very knowledgeable with criminal matters. Mr. Lemaire always made himself available to answer our questions. In regards to the legal matter at hand, some charges were dismissed and others reduced. It was a better outcome then we had hoped for. I would highly recommend this law firm and specifically Mr. Lemaire to anyone in need of legal representation. Richard H. Barrie, ON.

If you find yourself in need of a lawyer, do not hesitate to call this firm. I'm so fortunate to have called them during a stressful and scary time. Regardless of who you call, speak to or email, they are responsive and get back to you so unbelievably fast. Thank you to both Richard and Justin who were phenomenal. They represented my son twice for 2 unrelated charges and in both cases the charges were dropped. I am so grateful. Amazing team of lawyers who work collectively to get the best possible results and dynamite staff that keep you in the loop from start to finish.

After malicious accusations lead to charges being filed against my father, Justin was hired to represent him. From the beginning, Justin was calm and collected and walked us through a process that we had never been through before. During the trial, he kept our spirits up, and then assured us that everything would be fine. Justin made sure those of us who testified were well prepared. He analyzed the situation, and was extremely accurate in his description of the final outcome. Justin seemed to know exactly what the judge was thinking, even though she was sequestered in her chambers preparing her decision. I will never forget that everything he said the judge would address she did. It was uncanny how Justin knew what the outcome would be. My parents and I will never forget what Justin did for us. Thank you ever so much, Justin, for making an awful experience one that we were able to overcome.
