Testimonials

Clients on working with Rosalie

We recently retained Wannes Law to close a real estate transaction based on our semi-retired lawyer's recommendation. Rosalie was able to close this deal within 3 short days easily providing the highest quality service. She is professional, knowledgable, kind and everything else you are looking for in a lawyer. We hope to be working with Rosalie for many more years to come.

Albert & Caroline O.Toronto · Real estate closing

I greatly enjoyed every minute of working and communicating with Rosalie while finalizing the sale of our property. Being highly professional and conscientious she made the entire process easy to understand at every step of the way. She was quick and responsive through the process, addressed all our questions and concerns patiently. It took only a couple of days for Rosalie to organize the paperwork, arrange the mortgage discharge and get us ready to receive the funds on the closing date. The transfer of funds was fast and seamless too. She is super organized, reliable and competent and my number one to go to in case I need a lawyer again.
