I enjoyed excellent service provided by Garnet when I was in the process of buying my business. Not only did he take care with the legal documents and processes, I also felt a big support from him. He was always available and answered me quick. This gave me a great feeling that he was with me every step of the way as I purchased the business, and he took care for my concerns. He has my confidence and trust and I recommend Garnet to anyone who requires professional and intelligent legal advice and services.
Eduard Pischanker, President
As a first-time business owner, Garnet was invaluable in helping me set up and navigate the system to make sure I had everything I needed. He is knowledgeable and attentive, always ready to answer my questions. His experience and frank advice aided my negotiations with everything from purchasing, leasehold and financing, to permits and website legal conflicts.
Garnet is quick to respond to every email I send, thorough and fair in his assessment of each situation, and direct and honest with his advice, which I very much appreciate. Equally valuable was his genuine friendliness, empathy and caring. I will continue to use his services for all my business needs and highly recommend him to any entrepreneur looking for legal advice in a start-up.
Morné Van Antwerp, President / COO, Hospitality in Motion ltd
I first met Garnet in a social setting. It became clear very quickly that Garnet was a hard working, family oriented individual with an entrepreneurial spirit. These things, coupled with his legal and business background and attention to detail, stood out and I decided to use Garnet’s services on my next project for his legal expertise and representation. In this particular deal, we met a road block regarding the bank and its security for the project. Garnet came up with a creative solution that the bank accepted, and we were able to close on time. Garnet was able to tap into his creativity to get the job done when we needed him to.
I have been working with Garnet for a number of years now and have come to know him as someone you would want on your professional team. Garnet has a high level of availability, a high level of professionalism, a high level of accuracy and attention to detail and looks at all corporate issues from the top down with a mind to solving problems. I will continue to use Garnet for my legal requirements and from one Entrepreneur to another I would highly recommend him for your team.
David Yould, business owner, investor, franchisee
As a new start up business we were unsure of how to proceed. After our initial consultation, Garnet got us going in the right direction. We found Garnet very easy to deal with, knowledgeable and a very patient lawyer. We consider him to be an important asset to our business. We highly recommend you contact Garnet, you’ll be happy you did!

Vintner’s Cellar Bedford – On Site Wine Making
Garnet and his team successfully helped my company open a Canadian subsidiary. He guided us through the process of choosing a business entity type and tapped into his professional network to introduce us to an accounting firm so that we could talk through the tax implications. Garnet was professional, responsive, and above all delivered excellent work when setting up our new Canadian company. I highly recommend Garnet to any U.S. companies seeking an attorney to assist with an expansion into Canada.

We met Garnet as we opened our new business in early July of 2015 as a result of a recommendation from a friend. He has been so patient with us and had helped immensely as we go about learning the ropes of entrepreneurship. He is friendly, clarifies issues in ways that are easy to understand, and so quick to get back to us with emails and phone calls. We will continue to use Garnet’s services for the entirety of our business venture, and encourage others to do so as well.

Garnet was very quick to respond to my requests and got things moving almost immediately. He took my concerns to heart and handled everything in an efficient and organized manner leaving me at ease – much appreciated as a new entrepreneur.
Charlotte Jewer, Owner and Operator, Kept Gifts & Housewares Inc., Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
We always knew we should have Wills. We knew everyone should. And we have two young children to plan for. But knowing all that, we still kept putting it off. Getting a will sounded like an inconvenient, long and stressful and process, which we never seemed to have time for. So, it always fell to the bottom of our to-do list.
When we contacted Garnet, we were pleasantly surprised at how simple and convenient he made the process for us (and not to mention quick). He took our info by email and telephone, and within a week we were in his office signing, and we had Wills!
We’ve recommended Garnet to several friends and we continue to do so. It nice to have the peace of mind that a Will can provide, and Garnet made the process quick and painless.
