John F. Silvester

 I send this message in response to the message posted by "Doug Sanderson". Firstly, I have never had a client by the name of Doug Sanderson. That being said, I know who did write this unfair review about me, and her name is not Doug Sanderson. I have practised law for more than 25 years, so I suppose it is almost inevitable that I would eventually have a former client who holds an unreasonable vendetta against me. I should say in response that this client came to me a few years ago, as she had not had any contact with her own children for some time. I filed court documents on her behalf at the Brampton courthouse, as her children resided within the Regional Municipality of Peel. Shortly after the court case commenced, the client decided to move to a location at least three or four hours driving-time away. Nevertheless, a motion date was scheduled. The client chose not to attend court on the day that her motion was heard, but the presiding judge did make an order to allow her to have access to her children on a specified schedule. The client then refused to drive to Mississauga to see her children, as she claimed that she could not afford the gas costs (although she did have enough money to pay for a holiday to Cuba). The client thus refused to exercise the access rights that I obtained for her, but yet she blames me.

 Very professional !!
