I had the pleasure of working with Samara Belitzky for over 6 months after being fortunate enough to make the touch decision to change law firms. She definitely deserves greater than a 5 star rating!! The first law firm I retained was very stressful throughout as it was taking 5-6 weeks to get any sort of reply, in an employment case where timing was critical. After a few months of stress with that first firm, I got tired of them and made the decision to get a second opinion and am grateful I made the call to Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, after hearing about them through friends and watching videos on their website. That phone call changed the entire dynamic of my case. From my very first phone call with Samara, I knew I would be in good hands and decided that same evening to make the change and retain her as my new lawyer, ending my relationship with the previous firm. Samara is very knowledgeable, was able to answer all my questions, was honest and upfront about all aspects of the case, and was able to put my mind at ease throughout the entire process (unlike the previous law firm), and this was priceless for me. Her responses and communication to emails and phone calls were very timely and very detailed, and she did not leave anything out. I always felt I was in a better position in the case after hearing from her each time. Her swift and timely action was able to get me a settlement that the first time firm would not even be able come close to with the way things were going with them. I am grateful to Samara and the firm for all their efforts and for making the entire process stress free and minimal on my part. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this firm. From the receptionist to the assistants to the associates to the partners, it was all honesty and professional from the beginning to the end and I would HIGHLY recommend Samara and this firm for your employment legal matters. You will not be disappointed! Thank you again for all that you did and I will definitely refer Samara and the firm to anyone in need throughout my network.

I enjoy the radio show. I appreciate Lior's main message, which anyone in Ottawa with a radio must have heard by now- employees are rarely offered adequate severance packages, and its always best to consult an employment lawyer before signing anything. Even if you pay for an hour consultation, and find out your severance package is "good", at least you'll have peace of mind knowing you didn't leave money on the table. I'm also grateful for the severance pay calculator, which is very useful, and free! One piece of constructive advise for the firm...Lior often says "Call me" on the show. I understand very specific and personal details are best to discuss in private (i.e. not on the radio!) I was also impressed by the empathy and sincerity of Lior's advice. However, and this may be my own fault, the way he says "Call me", I thought I could contact him personally for some preliminary questions. However, when I called, there was a triage process, which would lead to a paid consultation with a different lawyer. There's nothing wrong with that, and in fact, its what most employers do (i.e. they don't give free legal advise, you have to pay for a consult), and of course Lior can't personally handle every case. Perhaps I was wrong in how I inferred the "Call me", but I do think it would be a good idea to explain your initial intake process more thoroughly and often on the radio show. Disclaimer: I have no direct experience with the firm as I have not retained them. The positive review is based on Lior's quality advice on the radio, and the free resources he's made available to the public on his website. Thank you Lior!

  • Victor Ike

I'm so happy I contacted the firm of Samfiru Tumarkin LLP to get their legal advice before I signed my severance offer documents. They provided me with excellent and prompt legal advice for my situation. I was quickly contacted for an initial assessment at no cost shorty after I submitted my information online. After that, I was assigned an employment lawyer and was promptly scheduled for a meeting. I was very lucky to have Samara Belitzky as my lawyer. Samara is very knowledgeable, smart, compassionate, and responsive to my problem and all my questions. Samara thoroughly examined my situation and proposed possible courses of action. Samara completely handled all the back-and-forth negotiations on my behalf and kept me in the loop about ongoing developments during the negotiations. Samara is so detailed and thorough and will always present the options available to you and explain the pros and cons of each option. Just after settlement was reached on my separation matter, Samara also helped me to review my new employment offer package at no cost. I would definitely recommend Samara and her team to anyone looking for employment advice related to separation/severance or employment contracts. They are just an excellent organization. I would give them 100 stars if I could.

  • Liam MacKay

I worked a lot of low-tier jobs saving up for my post-secondary. As a broke student, coming face to face with a serious workplace incident was disheartening, not least of all because I knew financing legal counsel was going to be bank breaking. I've never spent more money on a service than I did on Samara Beitzky's counsel, but it was worth every penny. My time has never been better respected than by Samara. Financing her counsel was the smartest purchase I have ever made. Although I could only afford to speak with her for a consultation, the hour I did speak to her for gave me a very clear game plan and the confidence to stand up to a multi-million dollar corporation. Samara's focus, intelligence, and calmness gave me the mental fortitude to negotiate within 76% to the return she expected, assuming I hired her law firm. Samfiru Tumarkin LLP is surly worth every dollar, and had I simply had the money I would not have hesitated to hire Samara to litigate on my behalf. If I ever needed to seek counsel again, cost would be no consideration: Samara would be my number one choice. I can't imagine a greater lawyer. I'm wishing her and everyone at Samfiru Tumarkin great success!

  • Richard Sydor

I'm so glad I contacted the firm of Samfiru Tumarkin to get their legal advice before I signed my documents. They provided me with excellent advice for my situation. The entire process worked very well from beginning to end. Their website is extremely easy to use. Shorty after I submitted my information online I was quickly contacted by their client team for an initial assessment at no cost. After that, I was given the opportunity if I chose to have a consultation with one of their employment lawyers and was quickly scheduled for a meeting. They do not keep you waiting. I was lucky to have Samara Belitzky as my lawyer. Samara was extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and responsive to my follow-up questions. Samara thoroughly examined the documents I was asked to sign in advance of my meeting. During our meeting Samara patiently listened to all my questions, provided expert advice and ensured that all of my questions were answered before we ended our meeting. I would definitely recommend Samara and her team to anyone looking for employment advice related to separation or employment contracts. They are just an excellent organization.

I had an excellent experience with the law firm of Samfiru Tumarkin. I worked with Alex Lucifero and Sajeela Veldhuis. Both were very professional and helpful. Alex went through my options in upfront and straightforward terms. Their help made the whole process so much easier and really took a lot of the stress away which was extra helpful this past year considering the Pandemic. I would strongly recommend their services and I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again. They will not just take on any case, they will let you know if you have a case to win or if you do not have a case. Either way, you know where you stand. I worked for a US-based company in a very toxic environment and felt Samfiru Tumarkin, based on their experience in ER matters, would be my best option to ensure I received what I was due based on my career history, salary, role, etc. I received much more then was originally offered. For anyone who also finds themselves in a similar situation, you owe it to yourself to find out the options available to you by chatting with Alex or anyone else at Samfiru Tumarkin. CK

  • Teresa Samar

With the current Covid 19 pandemic situation, losing my job while on disability is devastating, stressful and unacceptable.  I contacted 3 lawyers with my employment dismissal problem and out of them, Samara of Samfiru Tumarkin LLP stands out. When I spoke with Samara’s assistant Chantale, I was impressed by how she obtained my information in details and received a call from Samara right away.  I felt blessed when Samara called me as my first conversation with her gave me hope and support in understanding my rights.  She showed her expertise and professionalism.  Even by phone meetings only, I felt the trust, honesty and kindness that she possessed.  I was very satisfied and happy with her help and services.  I will definitely recommend her to anyone requiring labour and employment lawyer.  She is the best and I highly recommend her “Five star” service. Many thanks Samara for your help and advises and I would like to extend my especial thanks to your assistant Chantale as well.  Best of luck to you and your firm! Best regards, Teresa

  • David Veldman

I reached out to Samara Belittzky, a Senior Associate of Simfuru Tumarkin LLP, who walked me through the entire process after being let go at my company ad the negotiations required to secure my correct package. It took several months of back and forth between the two parties, and I was communicated to so concisely and in layman's terms, I could understand. At all times, she was professional, courteous, candid, and understanding, with my best results at heart. I cannot complain about anything and found the whole process, including financial charges to be quite pleasant and not out of the ordinary. Certainly was not the huge $ charges I expected. On the contrary to be honest. I would have no hesitancy in endorsing and recommending this company, especially Samarah and her assistant Melany Gardiner to anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation requiring legal counsel and solid advice pertaining to all things employment-focused. The TV adverts truly due hold true.

  • becky ebsary

I was let go due to COVID related circumstances after being at my job for almost 8 years. I did not feel that my severance was fair given my tenure, so I sent in a request to speak with a Lawyer about my situation I was contacted by Samara Belitzky of Samfiru Tumarkin and we discussed the details of my termination. She encouraged me to follow through with negotiations to request a better severance package from my employer. By the end of negotiations, we were able to procure a settlement above and beyond what our initial expectations were. I would highly recommend this firm and Samara specifically for any employment related council. Her guidance was kind, informative and effective. She made me feel as though my case was important and that resolution was a top priority. Thank you Samara. *and all the best to anyone else who is going through similar circumstances* B.E

  • Dino Stoppa

I was very fortunate I made the decision to get a second opinion on my severance package. From the first law firm I approached I was told my package was the best I would receive due to the small print in my employment contract. I made a call to Samfiru Tumarkin Legal Services and it was the best call I made throughout the process. Samara and her team were able to find holes in the fine print and as a result were able to get me a severance package that I felt was fair. Anytime you are involved in a lawsuit, it can be one of the most stressful times of your life. Samara and her team put all my stress to rest with their great service and professional approach to the issue on hand. I would highly recommend Samfiru Tumarkin Lawyers to anyone in need.

  • Joe Caponio

I would highly recommend that anyone considering hiring an employment law firm speak to the folks at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. I personally had the pleasure of working with Samara Belitzky, a Senior Associate with the firm. Through multiple discussions, she helped me to understand which laws were applicable to my case and what I could expect as part of the legal proceedings. Not only did she keep me informed of new information, as and when it was presented, but in the end she was ultimately successful in securing the exact settlement I should have received in the first place. Companies often use words like "each and every employee is important". Odd though, that it was the folks at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP who actually made me feel this way.

  • Christine Vonk

I am so very happy to have had the pleasure and assistance from this great lawyer, she was professional and really helped me in everything I needed to get done. Samara Belitzky was certainly an asset to my situation, she was patient and understanding and made me feel that I was doing the right thing. I trusted her and she came through for me and my family…I wanted to leave her a 10 star rating because she was thoughtful of everything I had gone through, I certainly recommend this lady to do right by her customers and know that she will get the job done.. with everlasting thanks to Samara whom I will never forget… a 10 star rating is what she meant to me!! Thank you for everything…Christine

  • Derrick B. Coke

I felt I was being unfairly treated by my former employer of 20 years when I was laid off and needed some legal advice. The severance offered was sub-par so after seeing them on TV I contacted Samfiru Tumarkin LLP Employment Lawyers. I dealt with Samara Belitzky and I found her to very helpful, respectful and professional. Because of the pandemic restriction it was much harder to get things down in a timely fashion but Samara was very patient and understanding throughout the process; she was able to get me a better settlement without going to litigation. I would recommend Samara and Samfiru Tumarkin LLP Employment Lawyers to anyone who needs help with employment issues.

  • Djura Kostic

I have only the best possible praises to say about Samara Belitzky. She is an excellent employment lawyer, highly professional, very knowledgeable, thorough, clear, responsive and dedicated to her job and her clients. She was able to resolve my issue successfully and in timely manner and I am very happy with final outputs. Besides that, Samara is not only a great lawyer, but also somebody with very nice and kind personality. Samfiru Tumarkin can be extremely proud to have such talented and brilliant person for Team member. It was a real pleasure dealing with her. I highly recommend Samara, as well as her assistant Brynn Dolan, to anybody with employment issues.

  • Jeannie Nguyen

Alex took on my case and was able to get a fair resolution in just over a month. He took the time to answer my questions and always offered to hop on a call if I needed to chat through anything. Even though Alex is the managing partner of the Ottawa office (who I'd expect to be very busy), I always felt I could count on him or his assistant, Sajeela, to get back to me in a timely fashion. I really appreciated Alex's direct approach (he balances that with a great bedside manner) and knew I could trust his legal advice (he's obviously very knowledgeable). It was truly a great experience working with Alex and I 100% recommend him and his team!

  • R. T.

I completed the online assessment on the Samfiru Tumarkin website and it advised me to seek legal counsel. I completed the online form and someone called me very quickly for the initial assessment at no cost. A meeting was scheduled with Samara Belitzky. I have been very impressed with Samara and the entire team at Samfiru Tumarkin. Samara was very knowledgable and responsive to my questions and concerns. Samara was upfront about all aspects of my case and advised me how she thought we should proceed. I am very happy with the outcome and would recommend anyone looking for legal advise to reach out.

  • K C

Alex and his team were amazing during a very difficult period where I needed his assistance in getting an employment issue resolved with an employer. I was very pleased with the end result. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alex and his team in Ottawa to anyone needing any kind of legal assistance relating to employment issues. While I never hope to have to engage their services again (obviously), I will not hesitate to engage Alex again should I ever need too because I trust their ability to resolve important legal matters relating to employment and employers.

  • Richard Blank

I had a very good experience with the law firm of Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. The appointments were easy to set up and each appointment started on time. All my affairs were looked after to my satisfaction with no surprises. All of my questions were explained to me with a plan in order to correct in my favour. I was dealing with Alex, who was very well spoken and assured me at each step that everything was looked after. I would strongly recommend this firm for anyone dealing with employment concerns. Thanks again for all your help during a very stressful time.

  • Elaine Gauthier

I consulted several lawyers before I made my final decision. Samara stood out and what caught my attention was her honesty and that she didn’t sugar coat the outcome like most lawyers would do. She understood the sensitivity of my case and laid out all scenarios to achieve the best possible results. She kept me updated throughout my ordeal. I can’t forget her assistant Chantale. She was also very professional and honest and kept me updated thru numerous emails. I strongly recommend Samara and Chantale. They make a great team!!

  • Rosemary K.

After watching The Employment Law Show for over a year, I found myself terminated because of the COVID-19 pandemic. I immediately thought of Samfiru Tumarkin and made contact right away. I was connected with Samara Belitzky. She advised me on my case and we proceeded with securing a fair severance package for me. She was fast, efficient and very professional all the way through. And I am more than pleased with our results. I would highly recommend Samara. She knows the law and gets the job done! Thank you Samara. Well done!!

  • Teresa P

From my first meeting with Samara, she was very honest and upfront about the situation and what my entitlements were. This was much appreciated as I had dealt with another lawyer regarding the situation who made lots of empty promises. She understood how stressful the situation was for me and was sympathetic to me being so over-whelmed. Samara was very professional and informative and I felt very comfortable with her. She came through as promised and I would absolutely recommend and use Samara again without hesitation.

  • Bonnie and Michael

We had a very positive experience with Samara Belitzky and this employment law firm . Very professional and yet very personable. Losing our job during a pandemic was extremely stressful yet Samara was able to take our case and treat us with dignity while fighting for our rights . We couldn’t have expected a better outcome and we owe it all to the knowledge and expertise we received from Samara . We would highly recommend her if you have any questions about employment law or you think you have been wrongfully dismissed.

  • Jason Cruz

I would highly recommend Samfiru Tumarkin LLP to anyone going through any employment problems. Specifically Samara Belitzky handled my settlement from beginning to end. At every moment I felt that I had the advantage due to having Samara on my side. Her endless knowledge of employment law and ability to educate and convey important legal information to a laymen like myself is simply outstanding. If you are going through anything with your employer that you should seek legal advice or services, ask for Samara Belitzky.

Thank you Samara, for taking a situation I found overwhelming, and providing clarity and a positive result. I am grateful for your services.

  • Christopher Gibbs

Had the pleasure of speaking with Samara Belitzky to review my situation and be informed of my rights. She was quick to respond (even shuffled her schedule to fit me in since I was on a ridiculous deadline) and explained everything in clear and easy-to-understand language (which you want at a time when anxiety is high). She demonstrated excellent knowledge of the law and above all showed compassion (and I have all the time in the world for people with compassion). Would highly recommend both her and the firm.

  • Scott Shurtliff

Each and everyone I dealt with during my situation at Samfiru Tumarkin were so professional, caring and attentive to my case. I am very confident that I chose the right firm and grateful to Samara Belitzky and her team. She was excellent in keeping me not only informed with every step of the process but explained any questions I had. She is exactly the type of employment lawyer you want to be representing you and am relieved with the settlement in which she was able to obtain on my behalf. Highly recommended.

  • Irazú Muñiz

I first came across Samfiru Tumarkin's online webinars. That first video was so helpful and provided the advice I was looking for. I reached out to the firm and my file was quickly handed over to Samara Belitzky who reviewed my case carefully and clearly explained options on how to proceed. I felt confident and legally protected throughout all the process that was quickly and successfully completed. I would highly recommend Samfiru Tumarkin's services and Samara's great support and professionalism.

  • rebekah avery

I would recommend Samfiru Tamarkin LLP to anyone who is facing an employment conflict that needs assistance.

I have and will recommend Samara to my former colleagues and friends. Thank you again for your patience and assistance.

  • Anita K

If there was a 6 star rating, this firm deserves it!! I found myself in the unfortunate predicament of having to retain counsel to negotiate a severance package. I was connected to Alex Lucifero and was very glad that I was. His calm and always professional approach, patience, and sage advice provided the much needed comfort at a time when I needed it most. I would highly recommend Alex as I am extremely happy with the outcome and can move forward with a positive outlook.

  • C.J. Wolf

I had an excellent experience with this law firm. I worked with Samara Belitzky on a legal matter with a former employer and she absolutely knocked it out of the park. She even said before we started “if we get this outcome, that would be a slam dunk”, and then proceeded to swiftly get that outcome in a remarkably short amount of time. She was incredible. Consummate professionals who absolutely know their stuff! Would highly recommend.

  • Ryan Milmine

My experience with Roger Zhang and his team was terrific. Very knowledgeable and offered great advice the entire way through.
