Heeney Vokey LLP

My legal matter was attended to by James - he was always prepared and clearly laid out the different options that were available. I appreciated that James's advice was always with my best interest and that he was very prompt to reply to emails/calls. James was immensely professional, honest, supportive and efficient at bringing my case to a successful resolution. I would without hesitation give James Heeney my highest endorsement to anyone who has an employment law issue.

I was initially reluctant to approach any employment lawyer when I lost my job due to the embarrassing nature of my termination. But at the advice of my family and friends, including top law firms in Toronto, I called James Heeney and Julia Burke. It was the best decision I ever made.Julia reviewed my severance package and asked important questions while she listened to my story with empathy and professionalism. Julia’s immense knowledge of employment law, human rights and OHSA enabled her to demand more entitlements on my behalf which resulted in a favorable settlement.During the past few months (and throughout the pandemic), Julia was always available and tirelessly working on my behalf. She can anticipate opposing counsel’s strategies, quickly manage complex scenarios and always provided me the best advice.While negotiations can be daunting, Julia’s remarkable ability to cut through the legalese and clarify the major points that matter in a concise and simple manner made it easy for me to understand. I was never overwhelmed and always felt confident in Julia’s expertise. The team of Heeney Vokey were always concerned about my well-being and ensured I was satisfied with their results.I strongly recommend Julia Burke and James Heeney for the best legal representation. Their excellent service and commitment to “Clients come first” is proven from start to finish. Thank you very much, Julia and I am very proud to have you as my lawyer!

Jessica Nolan represented me in a very traumatic constructive dismissal case. She gave excellent, sound advice and was very thorough in her communication with me covering all I needed to know regarding my legal rights and employer violations. She was compassionate, professional and helped me through one of the toughest career moments of my life. I am so fortunate that I had her advocating on my behalf and providing me all the pertinent information I needed to know regarding my painful case. She was willing to help me in any way I needed her to and was a fierce defender. I highly recommend Jessica Nolan/Heeney Vokey for employee Representation.

After interviewing several law firms, it was refreshing to meet with James Heeney at Robinson Heeney LLP. I had been referred to James specifically by another lawyer and found him to be most qualified, most compassionate and so well informed on a very finite area of employment law.My first meeting with James proved he came prepared: he was well informed of my particular industry and the ramifications of how my situation could be addressed promptly within the week. He had thoroughly explained a clear go forward plan that was candid and prepared me for a process that is never easy and at times can be vastly difficult on a personal level. Consequently, I must say it was appreciated that James’ tenacious efforts provided continuous and meticulous expert advice through all developments we had to endure. James was immensely professional, honest, supportive and efficient at bringing my case to a successful resolution.I would without hesitation give James Heeney my highest endorsement to anyone who has an employment law issue. Be confident you are in good hands.

I was assigned Julia Burke at Heeney Vokey and am extremely pleased. She provided helpful legal guidance throughout the process and always looked out for my best interest in every aspect of my negotiation. Her legal knowledge and insight was thorough and prompt.

Sarah Vokey represented me through a very stressful and emotional work issue. She was empathetic, responsive and attentive to my comments while providing her expertise as it related to my specific issues. I would highly recommend her and the firm.

James and his entire team are outstanding. Smart, patient, strategic, communicative...all the things you're looking for in a legal team. They worked with me through a stressful time in my career and I'm certain I wouldn't be in the place I am now without them. Very happy to recommend them to anyone needing a top notch legal team.
