Mark and his team were excellent through the whole divorce process. He had insights that I was completely unaware of and his expertise led to a very agreeable outcome for all involved. I came to Mark based on a referral from a trusted source and it was one of the best decisions that I've made.

Mark is knowledgeable, prompt in his replies and thorough in his examination of the situation from every vantage point. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for help with a matter pertaining to family law.

After a few years of getting nowhere in my divorce I contacted Mr. Schaefer after researching Family Lawyers. From day one he and his team were amazing. They are knowledgeable, punctual in responses & flat out get things done. Once Sean and Tanya took over my file, I soon had joint custody of my son (which I had been attempting for 3+ years), and not long after that I was finally divorced and able to move on with my life. I was most impressed with Sean’s no nonsense approach. If I was being unreasonable he was always honest and upfront with me; which I respected. I trusted his advice, and I can say that things turned out exactly the way he said they would. I was really impressed with his calm, but knowledge demeanor in my Med/Arb, and how he handled that really made a difference at the end of the day. The Team at DEMAS Schaefer is great and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to get things done or is having trouble with an opposing party who drags things out.

We cannot say enough good things about this firm. They went above and beyond to assist us in getting our granddaughter back to us with an Emergency Parenting order. When I contacted them, it took 5 days to get all the required paperwork in order and presented to the courts. Aditya Parihar and Tanya Schofield were amazing to work with. The free 15 minutes consultation with Sean Schaefer was definitely a big plus, he told us what we needed to do and accepted us as a client. We highly recommend this firm.

Excellent, highly recommend! We used Sean and Tanya for our sons adoption. Excellent communication from start to finish. I was NEVER left wondering "what's happening?" Because Tanya was always available. She's a machine answering messages late and on weekends when I wasn't expecting any reply at all. HIGHLY, highly recommend!

I am so happy I found these remarkable people in regards to the adoption of my daughter. After meeting with several lawyers, and being told they had never heard of or been approached for an adoption of a dependent adult, Sean and Tanya did not turn me away. They took the time to know the situation and gave me some hope by actually filing the application. They kept me informed every step of the way and even though it may have taken some extra work and steps, in the end it was well worth it as the adoption was granted on September 11, 2023. I cannot thank Sean and Tanya enough and they will never know how they have made us the family we have wanted to be for years.
This is truly an AMAZING firm!!

I would highly recommend Aditya Parihar as your lawyer. He is very knowledgeable, thorough, and someone who you can feel very comfortable with. Aditya got me through a very difficult divorce. His knowledge, patience, and commitment are just some of his strengths. Aditya has excellent communication skills. Emails and phone calls were always promptly answered. Aditya worked very hard for me, and I have nothing but praise for his commitment to me. You will not be disappointed. Best lawyer in Edmonton.

I very highly recommend Hailee Barber of Demas Schaefer Family Lawyers. From the very first conversation, she made me feel heard, supported, and confident in my case. Hailee's expertise and professionalism are unmatched, and her ability to explain complex legal matters in a clear, approachable way was invaluable. She is incredibly patient and understanding, even when I sent emotional emails during the more stressful moments of my case. Hailee always responded thoughtfully, offering reassurance and practical advice that kept me grounded. I would not have been able to navigate the legal system without her, and I am so thankful for her help.

I picked Emily and McKayle to be on my team. They provided high quality work and the billings (time spent on the file) were reasonable. They were also kind and the closing letter was professional. If you do not have them on your team, I think you should.

I have just concluded a 2 year divorce process with Emily Gore as my retainer. She was thorough, honest and empathetic from start to finish. In the end, the settlement was fair (which is best case) and predominantly civil. Emily also taught me how to protect myself both legally and financially moving forward, so I don't repeat the mistakes of the past. Divorce is a hard pill to swallow when you finally make the decision in your head and start down the path. A good lawyer like Emily can make the process less daunting, allow you to continue with your life, and ensure that documents, communication, and actions are being managed on both sides. I highly recommend Emily, and will absolutely refer friends and family to her.

I had the privilege of working with Mark and Sue during my divorce, and I can confidently say I found exactly what I needed in them. Despite the challenges of the situation, Mark handled my case with the utmost integrity, always keeping my best interests in mind and ensuring that the process was fair and efficient. What truly set Mark apart was his ability to have candid discussions with me, providing advice and guidance even when it was difficult to hear. His insights and caution throughout the process were invaluable. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with the support, counsel, and prompt resolution provided by Mark and Sue, and I highly recommend their services.

I have been a client for many years. Mark has never failed to represent me or my kids best interest. He truly works for his clients and doesn’t give in to the opposing parties ridiculous demands. His assistant Sue is incredibly helpful and willing to put in extra effort to help you navigate the legal system. They are successful for a reason. Worth every penny. I have recommended them to many people whom always come back and thank me for the recommendation.

Our family had the privilege of working with Sean Schaefer for a complex family law matter that spanned 5 years, and I can confidently say that he provided exceptional legal guidance and support throughout the entire process. Mr. Schaefer was detailed, thorough and focused on the law. He was extremely well prepared for court appearances of which we had more than 20. Sean was professional, and quick on his feet. He knows the law. We were very impressed. Mr Schaefer successfully led us through a very difficult international mobility matter. We highly and confidently recommend Sean Schaefer for your legal needs.

Sean is very knowledgeable and supportive. He had my best interest at hand, provided me with more than one option, and focused on the best option for me. Sean is very down-to-earth, honest, and patient. He will tell you as it is so there is no guessing, which made my high-conflict divorce feel more manageable. Sean and Tanya are very professional and do their best to return emails and address concerns on a timely basis, which eased my worries during this lengthy process. Sean and his services are highly recommended if you are going through a divorce.

Graeme and the team at Demas Schaefer were excellent! They handled everything and helped us feel at ease throughout the process. Can’t recommend Graeme and his team enough.

Graeme Kluge and his assistant Kyla Baker were excellent to work with. They are very professional and understanding. I never felt like my case or myself were not a main priority even though they have many cases. They were efficient and completed everything in a timely manner. I always felt they listened, and guided me in the right direction, and it ended with a success. I am thankful to Graeme for all his hard work and the outcome in the end. I have used lawyers previously and found them shrugging me off and or not returning calls and dragging things out. This was never the case working with Graeme, he always answered questions and returned calls and emails in a timely manner. I definitely would recommend to use Graeme for your future lawyer, like I said it was amazing working with him and he gets the job done! Thank you so much Graeme and Kyla, I appreciate all you have done for me!

Glad I got Jaskiran to represent me in my divorce. She did everything I asked for in my divorce and happy how it ended I was worried about all the horror stories I heard from other people. But glad and thankful she represented me in my divorce. Tks

I worked with Jaskiran Bajwa for a separation agreement. She was excellent to work with. She is very bright and understands the law very well. She helped me get an agreement that I thought was more than fair. She was at least the fourth lawyer I dealt with, and she shone like the sun in comparison to the other turkeys I dealt with. She seems to be very busy, but she was good at replying and always knew what was going on with my file. An enthusiastic 5 stars.

I had the pleasure of working with Hailee Barber for about 4-years while she represented me in a complex family law matter. Hailee is a consummate professional. Respectful, thoughtful, sincere and full of well-articulated knowledge. Hailee always ensured that my concerns were heard and consistently gave me excellent advice and direction. Her correspondence was always prompt, I was never left waiting on her. I felt fully supported the entirety of our professional relationship. I simply would not go to anyone else.

I had a great experience working with Aditya Parihar. He was highly professional, offered clear and practical advice, and maintained excellent communication throughout the entire process. I always felt informed and supported, which made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. I’m very happy with the outcome and truly appreciate his guidance. I would absolutely recommend Aditya to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable divorce lawyer.

After working with Sarb (and his assistant Avery) on my case, I can honestly say I would not be surprised if this is the best legal team in the province, no joke. I vetted through a total of about 8 or 9 family lawyer firms in the Edmonton and surrounding area over several weeks beginning Dec 2023, looking for someone to represent me with regards to my daughter, and I can say without any doubt this is by far the best one. Sarb patiently took good time to explain important details about the whole process, even before accepting payment. Through litigation, and then when it was our time to appear in court, Sarb oversaw completely winning my custody case very masterfully and respectfully. I sincerely did not believe the process for me was going to be that smooth, but it actually was. I give Sarb, Avery, (and by extension, this whole family law firm and team) my very highest recommendation. Family issues that need to go to court are never easy. I've certainly done my time with these difficulties that are at times life-crushing and brutally unfair. But with this legal team, you and your children will receive the best care. Mine certainly did, in earnest
