His knowledge of immigration law is paramount to any other immigration lawyers we consulted throughout a complicated and lengthy process. Communication was always direct, realistic and resulted in a positive outcome. Thank you so much!Wanda Tse1703799634 ★★★★★ I needed someone GOOD in the immigration area for my good friends, a married couple. It's not a simple case. They worked and lived in Canada legally for over 3 years, and was promised permanent residence but at the end, immigration didn't go through as promised by their employer, and they had to return to Switzerland.I first found a law firm on Bay Street, someone had mentioned it. I phoned and was told $250 was the consultation fee. Then I was transferred to another receptionist and it had gone up to $275. All they wanted was money! So business like, so uncaring.When I briefly explained about the case, she was already offering legal advice. Then she wanted $275 before she would book an appointment with a lawyer. She made sure I heard from her that their law firm occupies the entire 28th floor in that building on Bay Street! What's the relevance here?Anyway, then I thought I really should research more and then I came up with Steven Tress. I read all the good reviews and there was only one bad one (and I am not so sure about that bad one, just the way it was written, even before I contacted Steven).I phoned and he answered the phone! I asked many initial questions, all he answered promptly and courteously, without rushing me, without ever asking for money whatsoever.It was only when I suggested it was time for him to do a proper consultation with the couple directly via e-mail, that, and so reasonably so, that he said his charge was $200 (much cheaper) and at the end of very many e-mails, from my friends, and more from me, all their/my questions were fully answered to the finest details! Never met Steven but he would be my immigration lawyer from now on. I would highly recommend him. Steven is the best immigration lawyer, and one with a heart, and not just money-minded.In my life, I have different specialist individuals who bless me with their assistance: I have a great person in each of these fields: a GP lawyer, a GP doctor, a Chartered Accountant, a psychiatrist, a travel agent, an insurance agent, etc. And now I added Steven to my list of immigration (and God forbids, a criminal) lawyer!!Tejveer Singh1699303024 ★★★★★ I am immensely grateful to Steven Tress & team for their exceptional handling of my intricate immigration case.
