I had the best experience during a traumatic time in my life. The staff and Charles were highly professional and very personable. I felt heard and that my story mattered. Most importantly, Charles was not all about money. He made me feel like his priority was to help me the best way he could. To say I was Impressed, is a huge understatement. Keep up the great work Dr. Osuji and Team. You are a blessing to many.

As an Internationally Trainer Lawyer, the FIDI Program has helped me immensely to gain knowledge and experience in the Canadian Legal System. I am forever grateful to Dr. Charles Osuji for his unwavering support to Foreign Trained Lawyers like myself. OSL is a true family - caring and supportive.

I've had the pleasure of working with Charles and his team since 2020, and I can confidently say they are exceptional at what they do. Their deep knowledge and genuine care for their clients made me feel like a priority, every step of the way.What truly sets Charles apart is his outstanding service and dedication. One instance that stands out was when he stepped in on short notice to review an important document for me over the weekend right before the Christmas holidays. That level of commitment is rare and deeply appreciated.If you’re looking for a lawyer who is professional, reliable, and genuinely invested in achieving the best outcomes for his clients, I highly recommend Osuji & Smith.

The FIDI program has been a revelation for me, giving me immense hope. As I prepared to immigrate to Canada, I never imagined I would be able to return to a legal career while being in another country. I was so doubtful that I even pursued a degree in education, understanding that my knowledge of Ukrainian law would not be applicable here. But now, thanks to Dr. Charles Osuji, I have a guide, a clear plan, and a roadmap. I understand what it takes to have my education recognized. From now on, I am dedicating all my efforts to studying Canadian law and improving my English. Now I am certain that I can return to the legal profession I love.Thanks to Olha Senkovych, I was fortunate to learn about FIDI. Then, Yasmin gave me the opportunity to start my practicum after interviewing me, and this was truly a blessing. During my practicum, my primary job allowed me to visit the law firm almost daily, and I learned so many new and fascinating things! The Osuji & Smith team is a community of extraordinary people. There is an amazing atmosphere of friendship, unity, support, and kindness. Each lawyer is a true professional, sharing invaluable insights and offering support. It was a great honor for me to observe consultations led by such outstanding lawyers. It was an incredible privilege to gain this Canadian experience and to be a part of such a great and successful team!My heartfelt gratitude goes to Dr. Charles Osuji. You are an exceptional leader, a brilliant lawyer, a person with incredible energy and zest for life, and a kind and just man. I am grateful to have met you and will follow your future achievements, confident that the greatest successes are yet to come.Thank you to every member of the Osuji & Smith team. You will always have a place in my heart! May God bless you in all that you do.

My experience with Osuji & Smith Lawyers, particularly through the firm's “Foot in the Door Initiative,” has been nothing short of transformative.As a foreign-trained lawyer, breaking into Canada’s legal space can be very challenging. Fortunately for me, OSL was there to bridge that gap in remarkable ways. As a volunteer, I felt seen and valued from day one!What stands out about OSL is their commitment to recognizing and rewarding hard work. They see beyond all the limitations encumbering immigrant lawyers and reach for potential, offering opportunities that are almost impossible to find anywhere else.In the words of one of my mentors at the firm, "the reward for good work is more work". With each assignment and every interaction, it was clear that I'd found myself in an environment that actively catered to my growth and I was indeed rewarded with more work when I had the honour of joining the staff.As I continue to build not just my lawyering skills but also my confidence and understanding of the Canadian legal landscape, I’ll remain grateful for OSL’s Foot in the Door Initiative. Osuji & Smith Lawyers has truly set an inspiring standard for supporting foreign-trained professionals, and its impact on my career will always be a cherished part of my journey.

I felt welcomed and valued. The OSL team members are not only professional but also genuinely interested in ensuring that all my needs are met. This level of engagement has made a significant difference in my overall experience as a Foot in the door participant.Every team member I have interacted with demonstrates a thorough understanding of his or her area of law , which instilled confidence in me as a participant in the Foot in the door program.They are patient in answering my questions and offer valuable insights that helps me make informed decisions.Put differently, OSL exceeds my expectations in several ways. The timely responses to inquiries, the attention to detail, and the follow-up after our interactions showcases a commitment to a learner's satisfaction that is often rare in today’s fast-paced environment. This dedication does not go unnoticed and has contributed greatly to my positive experience.While i conclude , I want to reiterate how satisfied I am with the quality mentorship provided through the Foot in the door . My experience is not only fulfilling but also has left me with a sense of trust and loyalty towards the brand of OSL.

Quite a bit late in posting this, but had a great experience with them earlier this year. I primarily dealt directly with Charles or his student-at-law (at the time) Joshua. Charles provided great advice and my situation was resolved far quicker than expected, and communication/updates were consistent via Joshua. The upfront cost felt a bit expensive at the time but given the work they put in and the results, it was well worth it. Highly recommend them.

I came to Osuji & Smith (O&S) with a difficult immigration situation with a family member. At O&S Rowan Fisher and her team, especially Imtiaz Hafiz showed me the right path and put me in the right direction.When you retain O&S, you can expect professionality, and an excellent customer service. They worked fast and diligently, and always came back to me with precise answers to my questions by the end of the same day. I felt as if I was the only costumer in the company!If you need to retain some one to have your back, I recommend O&S, ESPECIALLY when Rowan Fisher and Imtiaz Hafiz are involved.

I rarely write reviews, but my experience with Mr. Chuk Dimiri at Osuji & Smith Lawyers in Calgary was so exceptional that I felt compelled to share. From the moment I walked into their office, I knew I was in good hands.Mr. Dimiri's expertise in landlord-tenant disputes is truly unparalleled. I was facing a seemingly impossible situation with a landlord who had managed to evade accountability for years due to their connections and influence. I had almost given up hope until I met Mr. Dimiri.What sets Mr. Dimiri apart is his unwavering commitment to his clients. He didn't just treat my case as another file on his desk; he took the time to understand my unique circumstances and the impact this dispute was having on my life. His empathy and genuine concern were evident in every interaction.But it's not just his compassion that impressed me - it's his razor-sharp legal acumen and tenacity. Mr. Dimiri left no stone unturned in building my case. He meticulously gathered evidence, interviewed witnesses, and crafted a bulletproof legal strategy. His attention to detail was astonishing.What truly amazed me was how he managed to expose the long-standing malpractices of my landlord. Despite the landlord's influence, Mr. Dimiri fearlessly pursued justice. He navigated the complex legal landscape with finesse, ultimately bringing to light years of misconduct that had previously gone unchecked.Throughout the process, Mr. Dimiri kept me informed and involved, explaining complex legal concepts in a way I could easily understand. His patience in answering my countless questions was truly appreciated.The outcome of my case exceeded all expectations. Not only did we achieve a favorable resolution, but Mr. Dimiri's work also paved the way for other tenants to seek justice against this previously "untouchable" landlord.If you're looking for a lawyer who combines exceptional legal skills with a genuine commitment to their clients' best interests, look no further than Mr. Chuk Dimiri at Osuji & Smith Lawyers. He doesn't just practice law; he champions justice. My experience with him has restored my faith in the legal system, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
