Ray Power

Competent on the legal work, communication could improve

I hired Ray Power at Dennis Dawson James Aitken LLP to handle a shareholder dispute for my small tech company. His background in Corporate and Commercial Litigation from the University of British Columbia was evident; he understood the nuances of the case quickly and his analysis of our corporate bylaws was thorough. It’s clear why he’s recognized in that field. The legal strategy he drafted was solid and we achieved an acceptable settlement. However, the experience was mixed on the client service front. There were often significant delays in receiving responses to emails, sometimes stretching to several business days, which created anxiety during tense negotiation periods. While his expertise was never in doubt, managing expectations around timelines and maintaining consistent communication felt like an afterthought. For straightforward legal matters where you can afford to be patient, Ray’s technical competence is reliable. For situations requiring more hand-holding or urgent updates, you might find the client experience merely adequate, as I did.
