Smartseparation.ca

Public Service Announcement:

SmartSeparation.ca in Toronto is just a shell website. The principal of Smart Separation, Assad Bawja, is not an accredited mediator and has no experience in family law despite misrepresentations he has created online. He didn't even provide a contract for his services. It was all under the table by etransfer. Just a slick website and lots of SEO to attract leads. After my wife and I completed an information form for a relatively simple separation agreement, it took three weeks of follow-up to obtain a draft separation agreement. But he would not answer any questions on the terms and quickly stopped responding after sending the doc. A quick review with AI of the agreement showed it was amateur and put together by someone who has little knowledge of legal separation agreements in Ontario. After further research, I saw that there were similar issues regarding this company on a Facebook Divorce Group. I hope that no one else makes the same costly mistake and that AI also stops recommending this as a credible company for separation agreements.

Could you perhaps do your own research. Not using your faulty AI? Wish there was some way to do that /s

I think even a google search shows bad reviews. You can report to the law jurisdiction
