Real stories from clients who found clarity, support, and peace of mind during life’s toughest moments.
We had an outstanding experience with Gail Law. The entire team was professional, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable . A special thank you to Kim Gale, Palak, and Jessica each of you played a key role in making the process smooth and stress-free. Your clear communication, attention to detail, and dedication truly made a difference. I felt well taken care of every step of the way. Highly recommended Gale Law for anyone looking for reliable and compassionate legal support. Thank you again!
My wife and I have retained Kim and her team for four years and highly recommend the firm. A highlight: Kim and her team pursued a client of my wife that owed her $125,000 in fees. The client was living in Europe and very hard to find. After getting a judgement against him in Canada, Kim hounded him all over Europe for two years until she cornered him in Spain and he paid up in full plus costs. Lesson: don't mess with Gale Law. Thanks again, Kim!
Incredibly grateful to everyone at Gale Law for assisting me with a small claims legal matter. Special thanks to Jessica as she worked with me specifically on my case. All interactions with her were very pleasant. Jessica responded to my emails quickly and answered my questions thoroughly. I highly recommend Gale Law's services and I will definitely work with them again if I am in need of legal assistance in the future.
Behind every win is a team that truly cares. Meet the people who turn complex legal matters into clear solutions.

Gale Law focuses exclusively on estate litigation and elder law matters. Our team helps clients with Will challenges, Power of Attorney disputes, capacity claims, estate administration issues, and cases involving the financial abuse of seniors.
A Power of Attorney dispute arises when there are concerns about how someone is managing another person’s finances, property, or personal care under a Power of Attorney document. We assist by reviewing the decisions made, ensuring accountability, and protecting the best interests of the individual involved.
You may challenge a Will if you believe it was made under undue influence, if the person did not have the mental capacity to create it, or if the Will was not properly executed according to Ontario law.
The most frequent reasons include:
A capacity dispute arises when there is doubt about whether a person was mentally capable of making decisions related to their Will, finances, or care. We provide guidance and legal action to clarify and protect the rights of those involved.
We approach elder law disputes with sensitivity and respect. Our focus is on protecting vulnerable seniors, addressing financial exploitation, and resolving conflicts that may arise within families or with caregivers.
Common warning signs include sudden changes to banking activity, unexplained withdrawals, new “friends” managing money, changes to Wills or Powers of Attorney, and unpaid bills despite sufficient funds.
Mediation brings all parties together with a neutral third party to find a fair resolution without going to court. It’s less adversarial, more cost-effective, and often helps preserve family relationships.
In many cases, yes. Mediation can resolve disputes more quickly, privately, and at a lower cost than litigation. However, some disputes may still require a court decision.
Yes. We regularly work with other lawyers who need specialized guidance in estate litigation matters. Our team provides consulting, strategy, and support tailored to each case.
