Firm review summary
Cavell Leitch receives strong praise for professionalism and communication in wills and immigration matters, with clients noting swift turnarounds and attentive service from staff including Jenna and Rabiah. However, some reviewers reported significant issues: delayed callback responses lasting weeks, unclear communication about charges, and unexpected invoices for consultations that did not proceed to completion. One client also described the service as unprofessional and cited mistakes during their will preparation. The firm's strongest reputation is built on responsive, detailed work in immigration and estate planning, though consistency in client communication and billing clarity remain areas where experiences have diverged.
