Bruyer & Mackay LLP (Formerly Gordon Zwaenepoel)

Amanda Venner was an absolute pleasure to work with. Despite a difficult situation, I knew I could trust her with the circumstances and she worked hard to advocate for me. Amanda listened to my concerns and my feelings and did all that she could to ensure my needs were met. She is conscientious, organized, efficient, and empowering. I recommend working with her and she would be the first person that I call should I ever require a lawyer again.

The level of professionalism, experience and understanding of my situation was extraordinary. Laura Bruyer came highly recommended by a colleague and exceeded all my expectations. She showed empathy when needed, provided excellent advice when asked, and kept me focused on what was important. Family Law is very expensive but Laura not only protected me from unnecessary expenses, she made every penny count. She and her staff are organized, professional and courteous. I sleep soundly knowing I have Laura on my team.

If you’re reading family lawyer Google reviews you are probably looking for representation, and possibly feeling as lost as I did when I first realized that I needed a lawyer. I hate conflict, but my world was being turned upside down and I needed legal support.I am incredibly grateful to have been referred to Lauren Hanon of Bruyer & Mackay. Her professionalism, integrity, responsiveness, intelligence and compassion have been the silver lining in a very difficult situation - she is effective, efficient, knowledgeable and gets results.Lauren has provided me with invaluable guidance and sound legal advice. I am grateful to have her in my corner and proud to have her speak on my behalf. She has earned my trust and highest recommendation - Thank you Lauren!

Amanda Venner has been amazing to work with for the past 4 years - Amanda is patient, kind and ensures to look at the best interests of her clients for ease of resolution

My experience with Bruyer & Mackay LLP was a successful one with Amanda Haberstock and her amazing assistant Robyn. These ladies found me extremely frustrated with the legal system in completing my divorce (duration of 4 yrs) from an individual who was mentalily ill and non compliant to legal agreements with kids involved. They listened to my situation and were quick with the uptake and action plan. Amanda's calm demeanor helped me through a difficult time with sensitive issues. Amanda and her team were clear, kind and to the point to achieve the desired outcome requested in a timely fashion. Their flexible ability to meet virtually when needed was a real time saver. Her assistant was organized and supportive, and happy to explain any billing inquires.I would strongly recommend Amanda's legal services!

I had been embroiled in a hotly contested divorce for over 2 years. My lawyer in Grande Prairie was honest with me and confided that this case was reaching the limits of his experience. He recommended Laura Bruyer would be the best lawyer for this particular case. And boy he was not wrong! Laura Bruyer and her assistant Evelyne Konzuk were nothing short of fantastic. From the moment I met with Laura and retained her services my whole divorce file changed. Within a couple of court applications, a few court appearances, and a couple of months later we had a settlement agreement. I firmly believe Laura Bruyers' reputation as one of the best family lawyers in the business, combined with the way she carries and conducts herself in the court room, is what tipped the scales for me in this file. It was clear that opposing client and counsel wanted no part of facing Laura Bruyer at trial ( as this was where this matter was headed). I would like the world to know I was treated very well by Laura Bruyer and her staff. My questions and concerns were always answered and Laura Bruyer was very clear and concise to me on how she would like to handle my case and always made sure I was in agreeance with her plan. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her services to anyone in need of them. Lawyers in this business, tend to be expensive, But I can honestly say Laura Bruyer is worth every single penny !!Thank you Laura I am forever grateful for you !!Thank you Evelyne I appreciate all your help as well !!

It’s incredibly stressful going though family issues and these people specifically Tiffany Stokes are the soft place to land. They know what is right and work hard to keep the focus on just that to get the best results for you and your family!

I retained Michelle Mackay in 2018 for a high conflict child custody case that has been dragging on for nearly a decade. I don't want to get into the details in the public; all I can tell you is that Michelle is simply phenomenal and she has won my case in every hearing and trial to date. Without Michelle, my children and I would still be living in fear and despair at this very moment!Michelle also has an outstanding legal team, they have been responsive, professional and empathic in assisting my court needs all these years.If you are involved in litigation and needing a good family lawyer who is willing to invest in you (you are not just a file number) and is committed to fighting for your best interests and getting you the results, I would highly recommend Michelle and Bruyer & Mackay LLP.

Sarah and Lindsay helped me with the sale of my condo & purchase of my new house and they were just incredible. Communication was on point, and made this such a stress free experience. Thank you so much!

Have had a great experience with this firm so far. Staff are professional. Paralegals and assistants are prompt and organized. Michelle is practical, pragmatic, compassionate and smart. Divorce is an emotionally challenging process when even the most rational people can lose their bearings a bit. Michelle will help guide you sensibly through this process. There’s a reason a lot of lawyers hire her to handle their divorces and judges suggest to their friends to hire Michelle.
