Sofia Mirza

A knowledgeable and steady hand through a complex business dispute

I engaged Sofia Mirza at Fillmore Riley to assist with a contentious partnership dissolution that had both business and personal property elements. Her broad general practice expertise was exactly what we needed, as the matter didn't fit neatly into one legal specialty. Sofia's deep experience, having been admitted to the bar in Manitoba in 1984, provided a calm, strategic perspective that was invaluable. She drew effectively on her mediation and collaborative law training to explore settlement options first, which saved considerable time and expense, though formal proceedings ultimately became necessary. Her knowledge of Manitoba case law and procedural nuances was evident throughout. The one area where we occasionally experienced minor delays was in email response times during particularly busy periods, though her associate was always available for urgent matters. Overall, Sofia's blend of seasoned judgment and practical approach from her 12 years at the firm guided us to a favorable resolution. I would confidently recommend her for multifaceted legal issues requiring a comprehensive view.
