Absolutely had to drop a review for Anthony after the incredible experience I had working with him at Fasken's Calgary office. Let me tell you, finding a lawyer who genuinely gets your case and fights for you tooth and nail isn't easy, but Anthony is that guy. My situation was a tangled mess of insolvency issues with some commercial litigation thrown in for good measure. I was worried we'd be bogged down in courtrooms for ages, but Anthony navigated the whole process like a pro.

We first met up near Stephen Avenue, not too far from the Calgary Tower, to discuss my case. Right from that initial meeting, I knew I was in good hands. Anthony laid out a strategy that was straightforward and didn't sugarcoat the challenges. It was refreshing to get such a no-nonsense approach.

Throughout the process, Anthony kept me in the loop with regular updates. We had a few calls that took place after what I assume were long days for him, but he was always energetic and focused. When we had to appear before the Provincial Court and the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta, Anthony was a force to be reckoned with. His advocacy skills were evident, and his arguments were always on point.
