After selling my house just under 2 years ago, I was recieved a letter stating that the statement of adjustments was incorrect and that I owe almost $1900 to the buyer. After trying to contact Ian starting October 19, leaving upwards of 6 messages, I finally got through to him Dec 9 by not leaving him a message but raising my concerns with another person in the office. Even though Ian's office recieved this letter months ago from the buyer's lawyer, he neither contacted myself or the other lawyer. After dodging my calls and messages for over a month, I'm left on the hook with a $1900 bill because the amount he put in the adjustments was incorrect. Ian even admitted he doesn't know where he got the number he put into the adjustments came from. In Kingston property taxes occur in two seperate payments the one paid in Feburary and the one you recieved in June that adjusts for the increase of the current year. I don't understand how this was missed as I closed in March, and did not even have access to the tax bill that would of came out in June. I am fully disappointed in how this is being dealt with, having hired a lawyer to look into the closing details and paperwork, and still get hit with a paper threatening to go to collections over a year and a half later. Having a young family, and not knowing the ins and outs of buying and selling a home, we had faith in Ian to take care of us while selling our first home. I am absolutely horrified with having a lawyer avoid contact with myself and all parties involved for well over a month. He did not admit to his mistake, nor apologize for the error or not responding to the messages or emails. I was asked to call Kingston's property tax department to look into details, it took 2 minutes to do, I could have easily done this during closing if I was asked to. Money dealt at closing whether I recieved too much or owed has no effect on day to day life, but a bill almost 2 years later for $1900 and threatening going to collections does.

  • Mary Martin

We hired Mr. Gavaghan to finalize the purchase of our first home. He was pleasant, efficient and answered all of our questions in a timely manner and in a way we could understand. He came highly recommended to me and I have since passed on his card to friends. If you are looking for a knowledgeable lawyer with great service and very fair prices (especially compared to others in Kingston), look no further. We will use his services again if and when we need them.

  • James M

Ian and his staff provide excellent professional service. The prices are inline with his competition however I found him to be very personable and patient taking the time to ensure we understood all the paperwork involved. We used the office to purchase and later to sell homes involving traditional as well as alternative financing. Ian was on time, his office was great with communication and all aspects of the transaction completed to our satisfaction.

  • Chris Carlton

We recently purchased a property and corporation that had its share of challenges and we were very glad we had Ian as our legal representative. Ian was thorough and always highlighted the pitfalls that could challenge our purchase but also found solutions to keep the process moving forward. Because of Ian and his staff we were able to obtain our dream property. We will continue to use Ian for our legal counsel and highly recommend him to others.

  • Dani Hancock

We recently sold our house and used Ian Gavaghan’s services. Ian & Kerry were great to deal with, they are very friendly and professional and made the process smooth and stress free. All communication with them was clear, concise and prompt. They took a lot of the stress out of one of biggest decisions we have made. We would highly recommend using Ian Gavaghan for any buying or selling needs.

  • Janet D Kennedy

Ian and his team were great to work with. When we went in to sign the paperwork to close on a new house in Kingston, he did an exclet job of explaining clear, in simple terms, what each signature was for. We weren't rushed at all and he even signed the form we need to transfer our son's car from his father's name to our son's name, without additional charge.

  • Tyrus Clubb

After calling around to 1/2 a dozen law firms I chose Ian’s and am so happy I did. He was up front, informative and happy to answer all of our questions. Purchasing our first home was a bit overwhelming but with Ian by our side it was a breeze. His competitive price combined with years of experience can’t be beat!

  • Erin M

We've used Ian a several times for the sale and purchases of homes and he has always been clear, concise and helpful. During our last sale he went above and beyond for us, and I can't say enough about all the help and support he provided. I highly recommend him to anyone.
