What Our Clients
Say About Us
Every review below is from a real client — unedited and unscripted — across employment, family, real estate, estate planning, immigration, and more.
As someone who has now engaged employment lawyers both as in-house counsel and recently for myself personally in Canada, I state categorically that Charles Osuji and Claire Lee of Osuji & Smith are among the best employment lawyers in Canada! Charles and Claire are compassionate, kind, honest and extremely good at what they do. They gave me great advice and guided me all through my matter that ensured complete success. If you have an employment dispute on either side of the matter, I advise you to give Charles Osuji a call. You will not regret it as he will get you to the best possible outcome for you based on the facts and your circumstances because of his honesty, compassion, kindness and expertise.
I had an excellent experience working with Osuji & Smith. Their expertise and professionalism were far and beyond my expectations. Dr. Charles Osuji has been an excellent listener with all the details provided to assess my severance package. Shikha Shukla’s recommendations and clear guidance as legal advisor made the process very smooth and free of stress. Shikha and her assistant Adela Teoteoi-Pirlica responded incredibly quickly ensuring the best possible outcome. I truly recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable legal advice.
Sukhcreet K. Sidhu (lawyer), her team, and the CEO Dr. Charles Osuji were kind, professional, and attentive throughout my employment matter. Sukhcreet clearly explained my options and always acted in my best interest, which gave me confidence during a stressful time. The office is well run and genuinely cares about its clients. I’m grateful for their help and highly recommend them for employment law issues.
What truly stood out was my first meeting with Dr. Dimiri. Unlike other lawyers I consulted — six in total — who immediately jumped into severance calculations and sounded robotic, Dr. Dimiri began by asking how I was feeling and what had happened. He showed genuine empathy before even discussing the legal details. That human connection meant everything. I retained him with full confidence, and I’m grateful I did. His empathy, professionalism, and care are truly exceptional. I feel not just represented, but understood. Thank you, Dr. Dimiri and team, for being a light during a very difficult time.
My divorce, as with most high conflict divorces, is personal, emotional, and contentious. I tried self-representation to save costs from a long and ongoing divorce with a high-profile family. After many lawyers, legal bills, and emotional stress and hardship, I was referred to Osuji & Smith through a friend. From the first consultation with Charles, to introduction to his team of professionals, I immediately knew this firm was different from any other law firm in the city. Amanda is tenacious, organised, relentless, and a brilliant tactician. Her work was succinct, powerful and to the point. No wasted effort. Osuji & Smith law firm provides me great comfort, knowing I have superior law talent on my side.
I have been dealing with a high conflict, complex separation for the past year with Lyon C. Ezeogu as my counsel. Words cannot describe the level of gratitude I have for Lyon and his impressive legal expertise. Not only is Lyon an incredibly skilled, trustworthy, dedicated, and strategic lawyer with a forward thinking sharp mind, the level of patience, professionalism, grace, and sincere care he has shown me throughout this entire process cannot be matched. Lyon is a shark of a lawyer who remains undeterred by curve balls and sticks to the end goal no matter what. This past week, with Lyon’s expert guidance, I attended a gruelling 10-plus hour mediation that resulted in a significant win for myself, and a signed agreement in just one day.
Osuji and Smith is top shelf in all categories. Charles responded to every element of this process with kindness, respect and legal intellect. His team are organised, effective, kind and thoughtful. Do not hesitate to hire Charles and his team to handle your Family Law matters.
I was searching for a new lawyer who truly had my back. At Osuji & Smith, Lucy listened carefully, established a clear path forward, and kept me informed every step of the way. My results were extremely good.
I have had a few lawyers try out my very complicated file. Lyon proved to be a serious courtroom attorney. He took over my case, and I won — despite that I was almost losing my house. When I read his brief of argument, I had a renewed hope. He even impressed the judge who decided to throw out the judgement against me and saved my house that was attached. I am very happy with Lyon. He will even show you how he is charging you, no games. My family is very happy with Lyon. The guy is an experienced, sound and brilliant lawyer. I give him 100 million stars.
Osuji & Smith went above and beyond by coordinating and communicating multiple times with the buyers’ lawyers, ensuring all concerns were addressed and ultimately securing an outcome fully in our favour. The entire process was handled with professionalism, clarity, and efficiency. From start to finish, the closing was seamless and stress-free.
I had an excellent experience with Osuji & Smith Lawyers. I wish I could give more than five stars. They are by far the best law firm I have worked with on a real estate transaction. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and very responsive throughout the entire process and even after closing my deal. They took the time to explain everything clearly, addressed all my concerns, and handled my transaction with great attention. I highly recommend them for any real estate needs.
We bought our first house and went through Osuji & Smith Lawyers. We were so impressed with the way we were guided. Every document was complete and explained to us. The whole process was fast, satisfactory and professional.
Thank you Charles Osuji and his associates. Best law firm experience I had till now. Buying my first house was a nervous job but you made it easy. Also, Thank you Harsimrat for continuously providing answers to my questions. I can confidently encourage everyone to try this firm for your legal matters.
Urgently needed the professional advice of an Estate Litigation lawyer and Mr. Dimiri stepped up immediately and provided an excellent consultation — I retained him on the spot. He is very forthcoming, very personable, takes the time to explain everything and is an extremely nice man. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing assistance with law issues. I left his office very content.
Their advice and presence in this matter made all the difference and brought the board management to a place where they had no choice but to make the right decision by addressing all issues. Many thanks Charles and Joshua.
From the initial consultation to the final resolution, the team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep legal expertise, and genuine care for my case. The service provided was above and beyond.
I sincerely appreciate Amna Bhatti and Jaclyn Dorchak for their professionalism and attention to detail in handling my SOWP and Children VVs applications. Their expertise, dedication and guidance made the entire process smooth and assured a successful outcome. I highly recommend the team from Osuji & Smith Lawyers for anyone’s immigration services.
Anzhela Said guided me through the complex process of sponsoring my spouse for permanent residency with clarity and patience, addressing all my concerns along the way. Her professionalism and dedication resulted in a successful application, and my spouse received permanent residency in record time.
They make the time to guide you and provide you with every bit of information you need to understand the immigration process and determine the right path for you. Their customer service is second to none.
Our organization retains Osuji & Smith Lawyers for multiple complex legal matters, and our experience has been excellent. In particular, we want to recognize Chukwuemeka A. Ezeogu (Lyon) for his professionalism, judgment, and approach to legal strategy. What we value most about Lyon is his focus on the spirit of the law and his clear, practical guidance toward resolution. He takes the time to explain not just the legal mechanics, but the most effective and respectful path forward, with an emphasis on working toward outcomes rather than prolonging conflict unnecessarily. We are very satisfied with the representation provided and would not hesitate to recommend Osuji & Smith Lawyers — and especially Lyon — to organizations seeking capable, principled legal counsel.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Charles and his team since 2020, and I can confidently say they are exceptional at what they do. Their deep knowledge and genuine care for their clients made me feel like a priority, every step of the way. One instance that stands out was when he stepped in on short notice to review an important document for me over the weekend right before the Christmas holidays. That level of commitment is rare and deeply appreciated. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is professional, reliable, and genuinely invested in achieving the best outcomes for his clients, I highly recommend Osuji & Smith.

I am helping a friend with a situation that requires a lawyer. After researching several law firms, they settled on Osuji & Smith. This is an extremely professional corporation. I am dealing mostly with Lyon. His knowledge, professionalism, high integrity and response time is top notch. He is very detailed, likes to do it right the first time, leaves no stone unturned, and is very intuitive at reading the opposing side. Both Charles and Lyon have their clients best interest at heart. They care about you and the case — but most of all it is a partnership. I highly recommend Osuji & Smith.
Now I see why Osuji & Smith has multiple awards and rated the top 3 law firm in Calgary. I worked directly with Deborah Pearce and she helped me all through the process. She was very friendly, yet very professional. She gave me lots of professional advice. This is an A+ law firm!
From the moment the meeting started, the team was welcoming, attentive, and highly professional. They took the time to listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and explain our legal options clearly. The consultation left us feeling informed, supported, and confident.

I never imagined I would be able to return to a legal career while being in another country. I was so doubtful that I even pursued a degree in education, understanding that my knowledge of Ukrainian law would not be applicable here. But now, thanks to Dr. Charles Osuji, I have a guide, a clear plan, and a roadmap. I understand what it takes to have my education recognized. Now I am certain that I can return to the legal profession I love. The Osuji & Smith team is a community of extraordinary people. There is an amazing atmosphere of friendship, unity, support, and kindness. Each lawyer is a true professional, sharing invaluable insights and offering support. My heartfelt gratitude goes to Dr. Charles Osuji. You are an exceptional leader, a brilliant lawyer, and a kind and just man.
Volunteering with Osuji & Smith Lawyers has been an inspiring experience. I first reached out to Dr. Charles Osuji from Nigeria, and he generously welcomed me to learn and volunteer. The lawyers — Lyon Chukwuemeka Ezeogu, Juliet Omonigho, Deborah Pearce, Mr. Chuks, Lucy, and Christie — are highly skilled, professional, and honest with clients, always offering cost-effective advice. I highly recommend Osuji & Smith Lawyers for anyone seeking exceptional legal guidance.
As a young undergraduate with legal aspirations, this programme was exactly what I was looking for to provide exposure into the practical workings of a law firm. I benefitted greatly from the mentorship of various lawyers at the firm — namely Shikha, Imtiasz, Juliette, Chuks, and Charles. I highly recommend this programme to anyone who is looking for a quality legal education in a professional, welcoming and friendly environment.
This experience was truly transformative. Through practical training, mentorship, and hands-on exposure, I was able to bridge the gap between my previous legal experience and the expectations of legal practice in Canada. I highly recommend this firm to any internationally trained lawyer looking to integrate into the Canadian legal profession.
