Community Advocacy & Legal Centre

This organization is so helpful when I find myself facing an ethical decision that might result in legal trouble without prior knowledge of an issue. The employees here respond very promptly and always know where I can acquire the information I seek. Great job to all involved. Best regards.

If you ever end up in small claims court you better pray you never get Gina Cockburn for a judge. She is biased and very unprofessional. It took 2 months to for me to get my ruling only to find out my claim was dismissed on grounds that she claimed I NEVER submitted. I had all my information that every hearing judge prior to her had asked for but she NEVER even read the claim prior to going into the zoom meeting. But….she let the MALE legal council speak for 1.5 hours and didn’t even let my FEMALE council speak for 20 minutes. Every time my council spoke she would interrupt saying she didn’t want to hear it. There is a complaint going in against her not only as a judge but I’m also putting in a complaint to Upper Canada Law Society because Gina Cockburn is not competent enough to act as a lawyer let alone a judge. When all the evidence is sitting right in front of her and she cannot see it….

The agent I spoke with was very knowledgeable. She showed a lot of empathy for my situation as well as understanding. I appreciated the way she looked after me. The waiting room was very clean and welcoming.

love these guys they know how to get results if you have an issue on rent or work relations these are the guys u want to deal with

Wonderful people. Wonderful service. If you are in difficulty with your landlord, as we were when we were being wrongfully evicted by our greedy, lying landlords, they can help you.

Food is great. They work hard in a tough environment, given Covid 19 restriction and manage to pull it off.

Monday, 2019/11/11 EST 16:40 hrsRemembrance DayI don't know what we'd do without tenant advocacy.So many property owners breaking the rules because they can, especially when it's a landlord's market. Quinte Council is doing absolutely nothing to remedy the crisis.All talk at the taxpayers expense, no action.Do NOT rent from this guy,

Unfortunately, the truth is of no importance to staff at CALC. My experience.

I communicated with Keith V. from CALC over the phone, for the most part. He was extremely helpful in getting a small but very important problem I was having with the Government sorted out, doing so quickly & efficiently. This was after I had spent months trying to get things resolved on my own, to no avail. He was very polite, & seemed like a good person sincerely intent on helping others & doing good work.
