I recently worked with Senior Counsel Chuk Dimiri and his team at Osuji & Smith for a severance package review following an unexpected termination. From the very first contact, the experience was welcoming, professional, and reassuring.Mr. Dimiri and his team provided clear, straightforward guidance that cut through the stress and confusion of the situation. They were determined, committed, and highly experienced—handling everything with confidence and a thorough understanding of employment law in Alberta. What stood out most was how genuinely they listened and treated my concerns with integrity and respect. I never felt rushed or unheard; instead, I felt supported every step of the way.If you're facing a challenging employment matter and need reliable, compassionate legal advice, I highly recommend Osuji & Smith—particularly Chuk Dimiri and his dedicated team. They truly make a difference during tough times.Thank you for your excellent work!

I’ve had the pleasure of hiring and working with Osuji & Smith twice and both experiences were exceptional.

They took the time to explain everything clearly, answer all my questions, and ensure that the decisions made were in my best interest.I highly recommend them for any of your legal needs, whether it’s employment, business, real estate, or family law, they handle every case with professionalism, care, and strong advocacy.

I had a dispute with a belligerent condo board. Kahane Law helped me get a bogus charge for tens of thousands of unjustified fees cut in more than half. A reasonable amount.

18:07 05 Feb 26

I had an excellent experience with Osuji & Smith Lawyers. I wish I could give more than five stars. They are by far the best law firm I have worked with on a real estate transaction. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and very responsive throughout the entire process and even after closing my deal. They took the time to explain everything clearly, addressed all my concerns, and handled my transaction with great attention. I highly recommend them for any real estate needs

I met with SHIKHA SHUKLA today for an employment law consultation and had a very positive experience. She was kind, respectful, and took the time to understand my case. She explained my options clearly and honestly. I really appreciated her professionalism and support. I felt comfortable and confident after meeting her. Highly recommend especially Shikha Shukla…

20:08 29 Jan 26

In this day and age It's fantastic, not only, to get a phone number when contacting a business but also to have a "live" friendly, informed person answering it. Additionally, Mr. Dimiri the lawyer I consulted with was, well informed and sensitive to my complicated case.I might have given only a 4 star rating because the intake document was difficult to complete and send but this was offset by the professional manner and help I received from the intake person. Great job!

13:49 28 Jan 26

Osuji and Smith were very helpful when we were buying our condo. I would absolutely work with them again.

22:21 27 Jan 26

I appreciate the fact Charles and subi were very knowledgeable to give me the best legal advice and how to go about my issues. Honestly, I will give a 10/10 minus nothing. I am confident they would represent me well.

When legal matters arise or when injustice strikes, I will always turn to Osuji & Smith. When workers need protection, when businesses seek guidance, when borders bring disputes, when homes need securing when families face hardship — they are there.They are there with knowledge. They are there with efficiency. But above all, they are there with compassion.They do not see clients as cases. They see people — with burdens, with struggles, with hope. And they say: “You are safe here. You are heard here. You are valued here.” I experienced that first hand with Juliette ........Their tapestry of skill is broad and strong: Employment law — defending fairness in the workplace. Business law — guiding companies with integrity. International law — bridging borders with wisdom. Real estate law — securing homes and futures. Family law — protecting relationships, safeguarding children, and restoring peace. And always, standing against injustice wherever it appears.As Chief Justice Earl Warren once said: “It is the spirit and not the form of law that keeps justice alive.” Osuji & Smith Team embody that spirit — practicing law with ethical genuineness and humanity.And as Jonathan Sacks reminds us: “True freedom requires the rule of law and justice, and a judicial system in which the rights of some are not secured by the denial of rights to others.” Osuji & Smith Team live this truth — weaving diversity, knowledge, and efficiency into every case, ensuring justice is inclusive and fair.That is why I trust them. That is why I return to them. Because they are not only lawyers — they are defenders of dignity, builders of trust, and champions of justice.

22:45 17 Dec 25

After moving from one medical clinic to another, I was faced with some very difficult circumstances. However, Sukhcreet and Charles osuji eased my transition and helped me save thousands of dollars. I’m truly thankful to their assistance and will definitely be contacting them for my future legal needs. One of the best lawyer teams in Calgary.

I started with an initial meeting with Charles Osuji, and I appreciated how clear and professional he was. My file is now being handled by Airat Abu, and the communication has been excellent—timely updates, clear explanations, and thoughtful answers to my questions. Airat is very thorough and I feel listened to and taken seriously throughout the process. I am so happy to have found them.

01:04 17 Dec 25

I appreciated that Charles Osuji was able to clearly summarize the options available to me for my situation, and to make a pragmatic recommendation. He was also sympathetic toward understanding how people feel when experiencing workplace discrimination.

23:50 16 Dec 25

A very good friend of mine recommended Charles to me, and today was my first appointment with him. I am extremely satisfied with the guidance he provided. He offered clear, thoughtful, and practical advice, which gave me great confidence and peace of mind. Once my matter is resolved, I will definitely choose him as the lifelong lawyer for myself and my family.

16:07 12 Dec 25

As i mentioned my concern of the case with customer service. She listened and very willing to resolve. Response was so quick on the point to resolve the case / no waste of time. I am hoping this kind of customer service remain same or more on future days as well with other clients base on client satisfaction no matter whatever case & situation. I believe this Law firm will understand clients's case & situation and guide accordingly like I received. Thank you .

21:54 11 Dec 25

Great friendly communications and service. Will do work with the team again in my future closings.

14:24 10 Dec 25

Osuji & Smith staff were amazing. They fit me in for an urgent appointment on very short notice (less than 24 hrs). The office was easily accessible. Inside, a lot of smiles! I received knowledgeable counsel.

03:43 10 Dec 25

I had a great experience working with Lucy Diale Mewanu at Osuji and Smith Lawyers. She provided clear, thoughtful guidance on a family matter that had been dragging on longer than necessary and helped bring it to a quick resolution. Her calm, knowledgeable approach truly put my mind at ease. I’m very grateful for her support and highly recommend her.

02:36 08 Dec 25

Osuji and Smith are great to deal with so far during three appointments I have had. Charles and his team has made me feel like they care, are taking an interest in my serious matters, and trying to help. I also feel they try to discuss your matters with you in simple terms rather than legal verbiage which many do not understand. When you are dealing with unlawful matters throughout multiple divisions and disciplines of Court, all you want is someone that you can trust in to prove Justice. I would recommend Osuji and Smith.

18:09 07 Dec 25

The Legal advise I got was top notch. Thanks Dr . Charles

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Chuk Dimiri, Abby, and his student Neeharika for their incredible support during one of the most stressful moments of my life. After being terminated from my job of 10 years, I contacted Osuji & Smith, and from the first moment, Abby was warm, diligent, and easy to talk to.What truly stood out was my first meeting with Dr. Dimiri. Unlike other lawyers I consulted (six in total) who immediately jumped into severance calculations and sounded robotic, Dr. Dimiri began by asking how I was feeling and what had happened. He showed genuine empathy before even discussing the legal details. That human connection meant everything.Despite his full schedule, Abby talked to him, and he even gave me 30 minutes (same-day request) of his lunch time for a follow-up conversation. This gesture confirmed what I already felt: he was the right lawyer for me.I retained him with full confidence, and I’m grateful I did. I had read reviews about some lawyers becoming hard to reach after payment, but this has never been the case with Dr. Dimiri. He personally calls me, checks in, and ensures I feel supported and informed every step of the way.His empathy, professionalism, and care are truly exceptional. I feel not just represented, but understood.Thank you, Dr. Dimiri and team, for being a light during a very difficult time.
