Exceptional service delivered with the knowledge, confidence, assurance and RESULT you want from you counsel. Thanks Charles and Lydia!

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. Lucy was very efficient and professional in her manner and ability to pull everything together and achieve resolution in a process that seemed like there could be no resolve found. I would highly recommend Lucy and Osuji & Smith Lawyers to anyone needing professional and efficient legal services and I would most definitely be seeking her services in any future legal matters

00:35 27 Jun 22

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

Recently used Osuji and Smith for a Civil Issue. The firm is fast, efficient, covers all the legal bases. I would rate my lawyer, Ayendrila Sharma 10 out of 5 she is so thorough, easy to talk to and able to give objective advice. The intake ladies are fantastic, who do the first interview. They are personable and compassionate. And Charles is amazing, aside from being one the handsomest lawyers in Alberta he is brilliant!!

He went above and beyond and I am forever grateful.

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 contacted Osuji & Smith regarding an employment matter I needed assistance negotiating. I was connected with Charles Osuji and Claire Lee to handle my file. They quickly caught up with the information and proposed a means to manage it. Claire was my main contact and her follow up was quick, professional and delivered results. Osuji & Smith will now handle any and all legal matters for myself and my family based on this experience. I highly recommend them, especially for employment related matters.

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!

It’s the duty of a lawyer to vigorously pursue a client’s truthful position. I partnered with Charles Osuji to represent me for additional severance and for the harassment by a senior manager. Throughout the process, Charles clearly communicated possible outcomes and pitfalls of decisions that could be made. A guiding hand on one’s shoulder, he negotiated a fair out of court settlement. In an internet interview segment on CNN News, he described his company in the following: “The firm continues to focus on excellence, diversity, inclusion, compassionate representations, and achieving results for our clients … “. Charles, associate Justin Kwon and all staff were brilliant. Should the occasion arise, in a breath, I would ask that the firm represent me.

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 0 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

Another great victory for Charles and his team as they were able to have my matter dismissed due to the facts and full understanding they had of my case.

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.

If you need a lawyer in Calgary, make sure to contact Osuji & Smith Lawyers for a consult!

I recently concluded my Legal Assistant Practicum at Osuji and Smith Lawyers. During my practicum, I was supported and mentored by every member of the Osuji and Smith Lawyers team. The skills and knowledge I gained from my practicum, I consider to be invaluable. Each task helped me either gain a new skill or improve on the skills I had as I received all the support I needed and more. Every task was worked on with attention to all details and ensuring the goals were met. I highly recommended their office for both services and practicum.

When I was wrongly dismissed from my job I was feeling very negative...until I spoke to Charles Ousji. To begin with Charles is an amazing listener. As I told him of the circumstances of my dismissal he asked all of the right questions to determine whether or not I had a case against this employer. He told me that if he did not think anything could be done to rectify this situation he would always be honest with me. He was always available to me during the 18 months we worked through the process..first trying to negotiate a settlement and finally setting a court date. \charles was honest with me without giving me false hope. I would recommend him to anyone who has an employment injustice. 10 out of 10 stars for \ousiji and smith

Charles and his team at Osuji & Smith handled our real estate business with great efficiency. However, soon after, I had need to involve them with an industrial relations matter which had lingered at the time. Charles' thorough understanding, grasp, advice and execution, spiced with his patience, all contributed significantly to a timely and favorable resolution. I would recommend Osuji & Smith any time, any day, without hesitation.

I had the privilege to train as a legal assistant at the firm, and I must say, it was a great experience I learned more than I expected.

Charles and all the staff are so nice and helped me if i didn't know, or was unsure of something! Thank you for all your help Charles! 🙂

22:31 08 Sep 19

Charles is a fantastic lawyer who brought my case to fruition, not only rapidly, but as cost effectively as possible.Don't let his youthful, yet professional composure misguide you, he is very capable of holding "feet to the fire" when its required.I had many choices when I began my journey 11 months ago, and I am so happy that I made the RIGHT choice, in going with Charles.So... if you're experiencing employment issues, and you're shopping around for best representation, my opinion is that you just found him, and my advise would be to call Charles now.

17:37 27 Aug 19

Justin was wonderful to work with. He kept me at ease with how the case was going. He made sure all my questions were answered. With his help we had a successful outcome in my case and would highly recommend Justin Kwon as a lawyer to contact.

My brother and I have consulted many lawyers since our recent legal trouble. After today we can confidently say Osuji is the best lawyer thus far that we have met. Not only did Osuji push the meeting 40 minutes to accommodate Cody getting out of work late, but he also extended the meeting an extra 35 minutes to go through everything in detail instead of just rushing through it. Our meeting even extended past close!In the meeting there was a student lawyer as well as an assistant lawyer to Osuji. They made us feel like they were putting all of their resources into our case and for probably the best rate I have seen. Osuji also told us that we could do the lawsuit ourselves. Instead of roping us into a ton of costs, he put our best interest first and let us know what we should do to save the most money. Truly the best lawyer you could ask for.

17:41 15 Aug 19

I needed legal advice on short notice concerning an IP (Intellectual Property) issue. I was able to get an appointment with Mr Osuji for the next day but, due to a scheduling mixup, he was double booked for my time. The way it worked out was that he was an hour late for my appointment but he the apologized for the mixup and then spent 45 minutes with me making all of his remaining appointments late. That was the ethical thing to do even though it meant that his remaining meetings that day would all begin on a sour note and I was impressed with his decision. The meeting was very productive during which he revised key parts of the IP document to more clearly protect my interests. The resulting document was just what I needed in a subsequent business deal.

01:34 03 Aug 19

From the moment I met with Charles, he was considerate and patient. We were able to settle the dispute within three months and I am satisfied with the outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend Charles to others. Lina P.

One of the best law firms in Calgary, AB. Nitin Srivastava was my lawyer. He handled my case very professionally and guided me with legal information thought out with the best interested for me and my kids. I am very impressed and satisfied . I strongly recommend him.

19:41 05 Jun 19

Right from day one of my Separation and eventual Divorce, Charles responded to all elements of this process with kindness, respect and legal intellect. He guided the process thoughtfully and we came to fair and intelligent conclusions together during times of extreme stress created by an abusive ex. He was also able to approach the other side respectfully and with ease - eventually playing a key role in helping us settle a contentious issue that remained after our divorce was completed. His team - particularly Alessia and Gordon - are organized, effective, kind and thoughtful. Charles also created a reassuring set of wills etc for a very fair price to give me a sense of security for my children. To sum up, Charles was and will continue to be my lawyer because he is everything a lawyer should be and his legal intellect is unquestionable. To top it off, he does it all with an approachable personality, good intentions for all involved, and a smile. Do not hesitate to hire Charles and his team to handle your Family Law matters. Osuji and Smith is top shelf in all categories and you won't regret it.
