"Through the most troubling time that I
have been through in my life, and not having
anything but the courage and the will to fight
for what I deserved when it came to my child,
Steve fought for me and understood the problems
that I was being put through as if he knew
exactly how to relate to what I was going
through at the time.
Steve took my case when in reality, with his
busy schedule, it could barely fit in with
everything else he was doing for other clients -
because he felt what I was going through and,
out of the goodness of his heart, he found the
time to take my case.
I went from having nothing to having everything
I could ever want, thanks to Steve !!!
If it weren't for Steve, I would not have my son
in my life as much as I do now.
Unlike most lawyers, Steve has the ability to
feel for his clients and somehow is able to
relate to exactly how they feel which ultimately
gets his clients the best results in the end.
I thank Steve for everything he has done for me
and my son, words can't explain."

"Thank you to you and your staff for helping us
put this behind us. More important than
everything, except the question of custody, is
the satisfaction that I have done all I can to
stand up for the children’s rights. I have spent
many nights waiting for this. I am grateful to
you all for making it happen."
-- M.V. (Toronto).
"I hope this e-mail finds you, your family, and your staff, in good health. Thank you for talking to me a few weeks ago. I had intended to send this e-mail long ago - not just because of your call. The only reason I haven't been in regular contact with your office is to save money. I think you're an incredible lawyer. As time goes on and I have further unpleasant experiences with my ex & the legal system, my opinion of you being a really bright & decent lawyer only grows. A lot of the advice and suggestions you gave are making more sense as time goes on. I was too overwhelmed and emotional to fully understand or accept all your words of wisdom at the time. I must have been a pretty difficult client to deal with and I apologize for that. Thank you so very much for helping me out at the most difficult time in my life. I do miss your guidance and hate representing myself but that's what I
have decided to do for now. Besides, you dealt with all the big & important stuff. I learned from the best and when dealing with the recent litigation, I regularly looked back at your documents & asked myself how you would have dealt with things. It helped me get through. Many many thanks to you!! I do tell people about the wonderful lawyer I have. If there was ever anything I could do to help you or your office out, I would be more than willing to do so."
-- A.M. (Toronto).
"My family from Jordan, USA, Guatemala and Toronto extend our gratitude for the way you handled my case. You have no idea what a relief it is to have this issue over and done with. Of course, thanks to you, your professionalism and dedication, we won this case. I hope I will never ever need your service. But you never know what the future holds.
Thanks again and job well done."

"Thank you very much for your efforts in completing my case. I am very impressed by your competency and I appreciate all of the things you have done for me. Thank you again."
-- T.G. (Toronto).
"Steven Benmor did a truly extraordinary and exceptional job with my custody, access and child support case.
At all times, Steven was dedicated, focused and knowledgeable. He was always impeccably and thoroughly prepared for every step of litigation. His court demeanor and arguments were extremely intelligent, eloquent, well conceived and precisely what was needed.
I know that it was Steven's personal commitment combined with his considerable experience and significant professional expertise that won me custody of my son. It would be impossible for me to thank him enough for supporting me through that difficult time.
I highly recommend Steven Benmor for any family law matters. Not only is he a remarkably excellent lawyer, but he is also an exceptional person and you need him on your side."
-- C.T. (Toronto).
"Since May 2000, Mr. Benmor has been my family lawyer who represented my daughter and I in family court several times. I was new to this country, and at first spoke little English. Yet Mr. Benmor always put me at ease. He would explain the law in a clear way and with great patience. He is extremely knowledgeable. I also found him to be a caring person, helping me to find ways to handle my anxiety and suggesting books to read that would help me with my life. I was very impressed with his ability, the preparation he did and tactics he used during the court appearances and throughout the process. I consider myself very fortunate to have found a lawyer and an educator like Mr. Benmor. I recommend him without hesitation to anyone."
-- R.J. (Toronto).
"Thank you so much for taking the time to visit Humewood House. The staff and clients thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. We look forward to working with you in the future."
-- Humewood House (Toronto).
"In the course of my work with Steven, I have been most impressed by his understanding of the teen parents and their very complex issues. Many of them have no other resources and are unaware of their rights as parents. When Steven provides a lecture/workshop he always demonstrates professionalism and is able to make the parents feel at ease with his compassionate demeanor and understanding approach. He is helpful, knowledgeable and, most importantly, patient.
My impression is that Steven is knowledgeable and well researched in the topic of family law. Due to his kindness and ability to give back to the community, the teen parents in the East End Young Moms Project have become self-empowered and educated."
-- Deniese Masters, Project Coordinator
East End Young Moms Project (Toronto).
"Just a note to send my heartfelt appreciation to you for the expedient and professional manner in which you handled my case. Making the choice to pursue full custody and child support of my daughter was not an easy one. And choosing the right lawyer was my biggest fear. From my first appointment, it was clear that you were the right choice. Your sensitivity, clarity and focus on my family's rights will always be appreciated. Thanks for helping me acquire full custody and a fair child support judgment for myself and my daughter and for helping me to get through one of the most emotionally challenging periods in my life."
-- A.H. (Toronto).

"As a former supervisor with the Family Support Program, City of Toronto, I am familiar with Mr. Benmor's work in assisting and guiding recipients of public assistance through the family court process on contentious and disputed issues involving custody, access and support. In addition to his in-depth knowledge of family law and the court process, I have found that he is committed to his clients, sensitive to their needs and the needs of their children.
I have also had no hesitation in referring personal friends to Mr. Benmor and have received excellent feedback in respect of his compassion, professionalism and honesty in moving a case forward to a satisfactory resolution."
-- Judy Knight (Toronto).

"I would like you to know how much I appreciate your outstanding performance in family court on April 2, 2002. You are an articulate, well-accomplished lawyer and truly a credit to your profession.

"Divorce can be a gruelling process, and therefore it is essential that you retain someone who strives to make the process less confusing and more serene. In my opinion, that person is Steven Benmor.
Paramount to Steven's bedside manner is the patience that he demonstrates towards clients. He is both a solicitor and an educator, explaining every detail of the law to the client, and therefore including them in the process, and in any decisions that have to be made.
I have been especially grateful for this because it makes me feel like I have some control over this process and over what is happening in my life."
-- E.W. (Toronto).
"I was first recommended to Steven Benmor by the Legal Advice Clinic. Within a few days, several other people advised me to seek him out as well. I was told that he was conscientious, hard-working and thorough. He proved to be all of these things.
He remained focused and believed in my case, even when I did not. The case dragged on for longer than we initially thought and cost a lot more than I initially thought. However, I feel that it was money well spent, as all of Steven's appearances in court were excellent.
He did extensive research on the law surrounding my case and all documents were well-prepared and well-presented. I have since recommended Steven to several people I know, and would continue to do so."
-- J.A. (Toronto).
"Mr. Benmor is very pleasant and patient and has been of great assistance to me. He is a very determined lawyer with good tactics. I would recommend him to anyone."
-- D.A. (Scarborough).
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you Mr. Benmor, Cris and Jessica for the professional, prompt and knowledgeable assistance that you have provided me during my lengthy and complex Family Law matter.
I had great concern about the outcome of my December 18th court date, however you made it relatively painless and stress-free. I am extremely happy about the events of today and I could not have done it without all of you.
Mr. Benmor, thank you for always providing me with solid legal advice. Thank you for being honest, upright and helpful for the past several years. You are an excellent Family Law Lawyer!
In the future, I may continue to require your assistance on my Family Law matters and will definitely be in touch.
Again, truly thank you so very much."
-- A.F. (Toronto).
There are not
enough words to express what or how I feel.
Since I visited your office last, my life has
taken a turn for the better road ahead. I can
now tell you that a weight has been lifted up
off my shoulders. Put it this way, I can finally
get a good night rest, knowing that all the
legal issues have been terminate. Thank you for
taking the time to listen to my problems with
the benefit of a doubt and not judging me."
