I highly recommend using this firm for all your legal needs. I retained them to sue my former employer after I was unlawfully terminated after 9 years of dedicated service. It was an extremely traumatic experience for me. My former employer and their defense team were extremely difficult to deal with, they fought against the lawsuit HARD. But in the end they were no match for the team at Osuji and Smith. I got the settlement I deserved, and more importantly to me , I received Justice. The process was very stressful at times for me , but I got nothing but poised professionalism from my Lawyer Amanda Ovaici, she is a true professional. I knew through the whole process that I was in good hands and had chosen the right firm.

Times can be rough for anyone and sadly in my personal experience, those closest to you can be the least interested in our sufferings. I have had an extremely difficult past few years and I can say honestly there are genuine, compassionate, caring individuals that are total strangers that are rebuilding my joy in living again. There are definitely a few I do want to publicly acknowledge as my "personal hero's" and will be forever grateful for your genuine humanity coming first. It started with the very first conversation with Charles that I knew, I had a met a sincere, kind person that was willing to have my back, a complete stranger. Justin, David, Sarah and every member of the firm. It really is and has been an honour and I will be forever grateful to each and everyone for being my hero's. Cheers. Stay well. 🫵👌

I reached out to Charles Osuji after carefully reading his reviews here and having other lawyers tell me to not bother and just search for another job. After the first meeting, I decided to hire Osuji and Smith go represent me in a case of constructive dismissal. My former employer made what you would describe as a lengthy, complicated process, which led to a wrongful dismissal case and a counter claim. Charles and his team were very supportive throughout this anxious process. To have someone attack your integrity is a hard mental toll. My team of lawyers ensured to explain me all the procedure and the possible outcome. As a Managing Partner, Charles was always involved in the case, responding to my emails and phone calls. That alone is a sign of respect, professionalism and devotement. The team ended up Clairenegotiating a good outcome that represented my interests and benefited me well. What I appreciated on top of it is the very respectful manner in which they kept their communication to the other counsels that were very aggressive and un polite in their matters. Thank you, Charles and the team! Ayendrila, Claire.

12:44 18 Aug 22

Being involved in a dispute as a Co-Founder of a company, and being out of Province, I was lost on what options I had.The company had moved from a Quebec Incorporation to an Alberta Incorporation.Residing in Montreal, I required the help of an Alberta based Law Firm.Charles Osuji listened to what I went through in a 1 hour meeting on line.He then assigned Miss Tanaaz Padania to my case.An Associate Lawyer with his firm, who took over my situation as though she experienced it herself.What impressed me with Tanaaz was that every time we had a conversation on events that happened years prior, she would come back with a letter to the opposing Lawyer with the exact occurrences that happened without error.She understood all I went through, and very aggressively held her ground with the opposing Lawyer.Very impressive on my end and would highly recommend contacting Tanaaz on any issues you may have regarding Corporate law.Thank you for your efforts Tanaaz.Andy NowostawskyMontreal, Quebec

18:28 28 Jun 22

If I could give a higher rating I would. Words cannot begin to explain the gratitude for the countless hours Charles and his team put into my case against my former employer. He was very helpful when it came to guiding me through what ended up being a very lengthy process. He and the team were wonderful when it came to explaining everything I needed to know about the particulars of my case to help ease my anxious mind going up against someone who made the process difficult more often than not. Charles always made me feel like a person in the process and not just another case to him. He was always very honest and direct with how I should proceed. He has been so amazing I have referred several people to him. My own daughter being one of them he referred her to Amanda Ovaici to help navigate her through her divorce process. A couple of the people I referred to check Charles out sat and met with him and Charles was very upfront about whether or not what they were presenting was worth their time and money being spent on moving forward legally. If I had to describe Charles and his team in just a few words they would be compassionate, honest, hard working, and knowledgeable. Hopefully I don't find myself needing counsel in the future but if I do I know who I will be calling without any doubt. I am truly blessed to have found this wonderful firm.

17:23 27 Jun 22

I have worked with Lucy Mewanu-Mensah through what seemed like a very tedious legal process.

00:35 27 Jun 22

Lucy Mewanu-Mensah is very warm hearted and makes one feel very comfortable with her calm presence.

Working with Amanda was such a seamless, enjoyable, and professional process. The level at which she was focused on our case and handled it as though our case was so close to her heart is something you don’t often see in attorneys. She treated our case like she was fighting for her own family member and with the sensitivity of our case, that was refreshing. I’ll never forget receiving an email from her at 3 AM because she was restless and unable to sleep just wanting to make sure every part of our case was covered. She’s a brilliant attorney, kind hearted, and highly professional. You can tell she loves what she does and shows up every day ensuring you know she’s fighting for you. A brief visit to the firm, we were met with a plethora of very friendly staff. Every correspondence from legal assitants were consistently prompt and professional.I will for sure use Osuji & Smith for all my legal needs.

I am not one to write reviews nor leave reviews but Amanda Ovaici truly exceeded my expectations and I cannot thank her enough. I was in a legal battle fighting to reconnect with my son. Amanda Ovaici was truly a blessing in disguise with her tremendous knowledge on family courts. She would constantly keep me updated whilst educating me on my legal rights. I was emotionally and mentally burnt out and Amanda Ovaici was a blessing as she always reassured me that everything will be fine. Amanda was as genuine as can be. She felt my hurt and she was willing to do what it takes to fix it. Last week was my first week with my son in over 6 months and I cannot thank Amanda enough for making that a possibility. Osuji and Smith, you guys are blessed to have a flourishing Gem on your team. Thank you Amanda Ovaici and thank you Osuji and Smith. Cheers!

We did a video meeting first, I thought a big lawyer would be on the high ropes, on the contrary, he is approachable, kind, with good manners, his eyes light up with wisdom, his consultation gets to the point sharply. the short meeting with him, and my heart located back to the right position. His assistant Calista is amiable and talented, we can say: like a boss like an employee. In the court, the case was done beautifully. it bright my day, bright my family! I gave myself a good comment that to chose Mr. Osuji, and will come back to him whenever I need. I like any word Charles said, one sentence will live in my heart forever. He said: "In life, it is less about what happens to us but more about what we do about it"

I was mistreated at work, in the last few weeks I worked there, they made my life impossible until they decided to fired me. I am not the first one and won't be the last one to be treated like that from that company. I was furious, sad, stressed, frustrated, angry, mad so I did a little online research and Charles Osuji came up as one of the top Employment Lawyers in Alberta. I can't remember if I called or emailed but they replied right away. I am not going to tell you how good or bad he was but I will tell you what he delivered. I couldn't really afford a lawyer and I've never had a legal fight before, but it really bothered me how my former employer treated me so I decided to pay the circa $350 consultation fee to find out: 1. if I had a case and 2. how much my case was worth. The consultation was brief and to the point, and they gave me the answer I was looking for. But what really made me move forward with his services was the format of not having to pay anything up front and not be charged by the hour, but instead he will take a cut of the settlement. Calista and Charles guided me through the whole process and kept me in the loop every step of the way. In a matter of 11 months we agreed in a settlement just before trial and I got the compensation just a little more of what he anticipated we were going to get. Do I recommend them? Hands down hell yes! He is indeed good and the best of it justice was made and I hope that company learned their lesson.

00:37 22 Jul 21

The Osuji and Smith team is unbelievable! I had the most amazing experience when I practiced there. Every lawyer and legal assistant cares so much about their clients, they put all their effort in every case they get. The connection and passion they put into their work truly impressed and motivated me throughout my time there. I learned so much and I’m truly thankful I was surrounded by such amazing people. You couldn’t ask for a better team to be taking on your case.

18:12 24 Jun 21

21:38 17 Jun 21

I will like to appreciate Charles for his level of professionalism and thoughtfulness throughout the process of handling my case. I am truly happy and thankful that the case was settled way better than I had ever imagined. If you are in need of any of his services or you need someone that will make your process less stressful, please do not hesitate to reach out to Charles. He is phenomenal!

04:37 07 Jun 21

Charles’ compassionate approach and professional manner inspired confidence from the first phone call. His knowledge and experience is very evident and he provided sound advice. Claire did an outstanding job and her thorough research and attention to detail is to be commended. My case was to do with employment law and without their expertise, I would not have received a settlement that was fair and reasonable. I would highly recommend this law firm.

It has been a great experience to have business with Osuji & Smith law firm! I refinanced my mortgage for my house in Calgary by the end of February 2021, and needed remote signing services since I was not in Calgary. Ivania Parada helped me a lot! She is very nice and very professional! She always responded my questions quickly and very patient. The service was excellent! I would recommend this firm to my friend where necessary! Thanks to Osuji & Smith and thanks to Ivania Parada!

I have recently settled an Injury Claim through Osuji & Smith - c/o Nitin Srivastava. After my file had been transferred to Nitin, he was very quick to get the ball rolling. He fought hard on my behalf, to get the compensation I deserved. He is also very thorough. I feel he left no stone unturned. I am happy with the settlement I was able to get. I reccommend Osuji & Smith, as well as Nitin Srivastava, for any legal matters! Thanks again!

What else can I say aside from the fact that Charles is the man! My wife had a case of Constructive Dismissal. Initially we had no idea what rights we had or where we could turn. Luckily I came across Charles and his team. Right from the start it was clear he understood what he was doing and provided us with a plan of action and also let us know what our rights were. He took our case on a contingency basis and delivered.I would recommend to anyone out there that is facing injustice and is afraid of lawyer fees, to contact Charles. If he can help you, he will!I have already recommended him to a friend. Trust me, Charles will do everything possible to make sure you get a fair treatment.

I urgently needed an immigration form to be notarized so I contacted Charles via email. I was blown away by his immediate response and he arranged a time for me to come to the office, despite his tight schedule. I arrived the office at the appointed date and was warmly received by Sarah who helped me print the form which needed to be notarized. Charles made the process seamless and got the form signed in no time, and best of all, offered his service FOC. For me, Osuji and Smith is the best among the rest and I highly recommend the firm to anyone seeking top quality legal services.
