  My wife and I recently worked with Andrew Fortis and Natasha Mauch at Hummingbird Lawyers on a recent real estate acquisition.
They were knowledgeable, prompt to reply, and able to determine exactly what was required to achieve our desired outcome.
It was a pleasure to work with true professionals.
We will definitely be contacting them again with any real estate matters in the future.

  I have been dealing Ioulia Vinogradova for the past 1 1/2 - 2 years dealing with my late brother's estate. I cannot tell you or anyone else often enough what a delight she was to deal with! Her professionalism and especially her patience dealing with all of the issues involved were outstanding. If ever I need a lawyer or can recommend one in Toronto I would not hesitate to tell them Ioulia is the best!

  Like all aspects of our lives.  Things change, and recently, we found ourselves in need of some support regarding our estate plans.  And via a trusted associate, the team at Hummingbird was recommended, and we were extremely grateful.

Ioulia and the entire team were incredibly supportive and professional, and ensured that all aspects of our Wills & Estate were considered… along with ensuring that our current but, more importantly, future needs will be met.

So, if you or someone you know needs a professional and supportive Law Firm, we highly recommend Ioulia and the Hummingbird Team.

  Hummingbird has handled dozens of real estate transactions for our mortgage lending company over the last decade.  All professionally, efficiently and ethically.  Andrew has helped us retrieve tens of thousands of dollars of bad debts that other solicitors left on the table.  Lastly, kudos to their law clerks, especially now Natasha, who keep it all running smoothly.
