I was referred to Tonkin Legal by three family members who have had positive experiences. I also had a positive experience. My initial inquiry was responded to within an hour and the response was very thorough. Both team members who assisted with my file were professional and engaging, answering all of my questions and proactively progressing with the file. I will be recommending Tonkin legal to my family and friends.”
