Ms. Carvery assisted me in reviewing a severance package. The first call was complimentary as I briefly explained my situation. She discussed some of the possible courses of action/outcomes/cost. At the end of the call, she was very pleasant and not pushy at all.
I have never used a lawyer before and was quite anxious. Several days later, I called her back to ask more questions which she answered without hesitation. I decided that I would have her represent me. During the process she was always available to answer any questions and explain them in detail, with patience. The end result was a great outcome! Ms. Carvery is very knowledgeable and experienced in dealing with Employment Law. She was able to achieve results that I had no idea I could have, and that my employer did not offer.
I would highly recommend the Carvery Law Firm to assist with any labour/employment issues.

I would like people to know that Sumitha is an amazing person as well as an amazing lawyer. She helped through my arbitration with my employer even though I had a union and the union paid for my lawyer. I hired Sumitha myself just to make sure I wasn’t getting ripped off as I did not have full confidence in the union or the lawyer they had hired for my case. Sumitha told me exactly how my case was going to play out after she reviewed most of the evidence. Believe it or not 13 months later the judge made a ruling in my favour giving me exactly what Sumitha told me was going happen. If i were in a bad situation again I would not hesitate to call Sumitha. Thank you for being there for me and I really appreciate the calls you would take even though you weren’t on the clock.
