I recently contacted Dean Collett for a initial consultation regarding a potential legal issue I was worried about. From the first call, their staff was professional and scheduled the consultation promptly. During the free session, the attorney I spoke with took the time to listen to my situation carefully. They explained the relevant legal principles in clear, plain English—no confusing jargon. Most importantly, they gave me a realistic assessment of my risks and outlined the specific steps I should take immediately to protect myself and avoid further trouble. They were clear about what they could and could not do within the scope of a consultation. the advice provided was exactly what I needed. It helped me understand the severity of my situation, gave me actionable steps to mitigate risk on my own, and ultimately provided immense peace of mind. I feel much more informed and in control. I would highly recommend Dean Collett to anyone who needs a clear, no-obligation starting point for a legal concern. They provide tremendous value in their consultations by offering honest, strategic guidance. If my situation escalates, I would not hesitate to contact them for formal representation.

Where do I start... Hmm.. Well, I needed help, when I shouldn't have needed... I asked around for the best in my case, and was referred here to collett read. I'm glad I did, dean was my first point of contact and got me thru everything and advised me of how he has dedicated lawyers for certain areas, and we talked about my case, and he chose the best he had for me, I believe I've had 2 different lawyers, Adrian and Nicole.... Both of you.. thank you Soooo much for everything and all the hard work you out in, thank you for the guidance and confidence in helping me get my life back again... I appreciate all of you in the collett read team for doing what you do for others.. most thank of course to Nicole, Adrian and Dean for believing in me... It made the difference and why I'll always recommend your firm to anyone I come across.. Amazing job everyone.. thank you all

TOP LAW FIRM in Hamilton. When mentioned I was being represented by Collett Read LLP, the elicited response was usually along the lines of "They'll take good care of you!" And they did!! My initial consultation was with Dean Collett. He promised me nothing. But, his confident cadence and careful consideration of the details I provided gave me a sense of security at a time when I was at a record low. He has a strong sense of where the members of his team are most effective, and I could hear his eyes light up over the phone as he spoke highly of each and every one of them; the markings of a true leader. I went with Jessica Read, a Partner Lawyer of the firm. It's important to note that Jessica started as a Crown Attorney, which gives her a certain edge (e.g. an intricate understanding of how the Prosecutors think and concise knowledge of how the written law is interpreted by the officers of the court). It's also important to note that Dean and Jessica built this firm together, and train the entire office to advocate for their clients to the fullest extent. I was prepared to fight my case tooth and nail, but didn't have to thanks to Jessica Read. I feel very lucky she acted with a high code of ethics, including the following: Integrity, Respect, Responsibility, Justice, Competence, and Stewardship. A BIG SHOUT OUT to Dean Collett, Jessica Read, Alyce Wilson, Adara Giancola, and the entire Collett Read Team.

Natalia Pawlowski was my lawyer from Collett Read LLP. From the moment I had my initial phone call with her, I knew she was the right choice. The first call was an initial interview to see if I was comfortable hiring her and I was sold almost instantly. She asked all the right questions and answered honestly. The way she actually listens and doesn’t sugar coat things is exactly what I was looking for. She not only fought for my innocence but made me feel comfortable 100% of the way through it all. If I ever had any questions she was just a text away. This was my first experience needing a criminal lawyer and I can’t recommend her (and her team, as I met some of them along the way) enough. 10/10 recommend Natalia and the team at Collett Read LLP. You get a whole team of respectful, highly knowledgeable lawyers who will work hard to seek out the outcome you are looking for. If you’re reading this looking for a good lawyer recommendation, do NOT hesitate to call them ASAP. 🙏🏻

I am so grateful for Nicole Arski and her firm. Nicole went above and beyond for me, and because of her hard work and dedication, all of my charges were withdrawn. She was professional, supportive, and always made me feel heard throughout the entire process. Nicole is an amazing lawyer who truly cares about her clients, and her firm is incredibly strong and reliable. Together, they make a powerful team that you can trust to fight for you. I would highly recommend Nicole and her firm to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation.
