Communicative, professional, clear and honest.
They represented me so well, I actually felt sorry (!) for the others involved who had opposing counsel, as Michael and the team at Badre absolutely wiped the floor with the other "Diamond" lawyers. It was almost painful to watch.
Thorough, professional and supportive - Michael Adamek looked after our interests, answered our questions and provided us with solid options and considerations. We would highly recommend him and his team.
They are exceptionaI!
Professional, but still caring approach with dedication to succeed what I found here is not easy to find any more.
Alex worked out settlement with the insurance and with Daniel finalized my case, that allowed me to start again my much needed therapies.

I had the pleasure of working with Daniel Badre, Paul Mooney, Wanda Crosby and the rest of team at Badre Law, from the start, they were extremely helpful, knowledgeable, considerate and professional. They made sure to keep me informed at every step, and their honesty throughout the entire process was greatly appreciated. My legal team was there for me entire way after my car accident. My lawyer Paul Mooney and his team went above and beyond to achieve best outcome for my case. Their dedication to their clients is truly outstanding. I would give them a well-deserved 5/5. I highly recommend Badre Law firm to anyone in need of a personal injury lawyer.
I truly hope I never need them again in the future. If I do, they're the only ones I would trust. Daniel and Paul were upfront on the details and never shied away from my numerous questions.

Everyone involved with my matter at Badre Law was absolutely professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Badre Law to friends and family. A special thank you to Mr. Adamek and law clerks Ms. Bai and Ms. Deng. Bravo!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I live in a small town in south west Ontario. The owner of our Senior's mobile home park is a lawyer that lives and works in the U.S.. All told Mark Zartarian owns 8 senior parks in Michigan and Ontario. We pay $500.00 plus in maintenance fees but no own services the park...ploughs the snow, cuts the lawn...we are stuck. Two winters ago I had 2 bad falls on the icy, snow covered road (there are no sidewalks). The second fall was a major break of my ankle bone basically severing my foot from my leg. I contacted many lawyers from Sarnia, Windsor, London, Goderich, Hamilton.....but they all turned down my case, Seems like Mr. Zartarian was the chief board of directors on all their law firms. My cousin, in Ottawa recommended Badre Law. I was afraid they would not take the case as I lived so for away but I was pleasantly surprised to receive a call from Michael Adamek. I can not express how incredible I was treated and for all the support that I received. It was a long fight with Zartarian but Badre Law won the gold star. I speak of your firm highly and recommended you to other senior's in our park. I feel so blessed to have found Michael. Blessings to all of you for your never ending support. In Love and Light Diane......
For all personal injuries there is not a Law firm I would recommend other than Badre Law. Working with Daniel and the team is a true testament to their passion for their work, and more importantly for the comfort and care they bring their clients. To add onto that everyone that works at Badre Law is very knowledgable regarding personal injury & the law, and have such high work ethic.
Thank you Daniel, and all of Badre Law, you guys are amazing!
Zach
Badre Law Firm is the best law firm that I’ve worked with. I have never met such an effective, professional and (most importantly) kind lawyers like the ones you will find at this firm.
Although my accident happened a little over 2 years ago, they processed my case (very quickly) and helped me settle with the car insurance for my accident benefits. I highly recommend Carlos from their firm. His priority is your recovery and he will help you fight for it. Words can’t express my gratitude for Carlos patience, understanding and effectiveness. Carlos validated the importance for my recovery and gave me the tools and knowledge that I needed in order to move forward.
After 2 years of back and forth with my car insurance to reinstate my medical treatment plan for an accident that was not at fault, Carlos was able to settle with insurance on my behalf (very quickly). I finally felt like my injuries were taken seriously thanks to Badre law firm.
They’re the best law firm in ottawa, I highly recommend retaining Daniel and Carlos if you had an accident. They will take your injuries, your recovery and most importantly your well being seriously.
Thank you Daniel and Carlos for your continuous support and most importantly for actioning my case so quickly.
Words cannot express how grateful
I am. Thank you!
I had an excellent experience with Badre Law. Their team was professional, responsive, and dedicated to achieving the best outcome for my case. I highly recommend their services.

Working with Badre law was a great experience. They took the time to make sure I understood every step to be made. The assisted me with every resources I needed and were patient with me. It was a pleasure having to work with them as my lawyer.
I had an excellent experience with Badre Law while dealing with a lawsuit, and I can't recommend them enough! Ryan and Carlos, my lawyers, were truly outstanding. From start to finish, they demonstrated incredible professionalism, deep legal expertise, and genuine care for my case.
Ryan’s attention to detail and strategic approach were remarkable. He always kept me informed and made sure I understood every step of the process.

I cannot express how incredibly grateful I am for the help that Daniel and his law firm has provided me during one of the most difficult experiences in my life. More specifically, my appreciation for all the work that Ryan Hamilton (Jolaina and Carlos too!) have done for me over the last year and more is truly immeasurable. I feel so much gratitude to have had such a professional, compassionate, and supportive lawyer fighting on my behalf, all while I was able to focus on my treatments and recovery. Through each step of this process Ryan took his time to ensure that I felt comfortable, and confident about each decision I had to make and most importantly he provided me clarity, especially during those stressful moments of uncertainty. I never had any doubt that he had my best interest at heart and I felt confident to place my faith in his abilities and skills. This experience was only made tolerable because I always felt that I was ‘taken care of’ and that provided me with the peace of mind that I desperately needed this past year. There are no words to describe my (and my families’) gratitude for Daniel, Ryan and this team. They are truly the best.
I must say I'm very impressed with how professional and efficient the team at Badre Law are. They are the real deal from my experience and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of an excellent personal injury lawyer.
Daniel is one of the most talented and compassionate human being I have met so far in life! He is a great lawyer doing anything in his power to help with your case.

Thank you for your support in my journey facing the law and my rights.

This was my first time filing a lawsuit. I had no clue about how it works or if I even had a case. I had a phone consult and they explained how everything works and what to expect. The team is great. I mainly dealt with Paul Mooney and Daniel. They were so helpful and explained everything, gave me advice and told me my options. I also was worried I wouldn’t be able to afford a lawyer but I didn’t have to pay anything until I got my settlement. I ended up getting a settlement that I am quite happy with. Highly recommend.
Thanks to Facebook.
It's was my 1st call and have no regrets. Daniel is a great listener, optimistic and very personible.
Excellent work by Badre team. The communication between myself and the professionals was beyond excellent.

I first heard of badre law through a friend. He told me they were very supportive and knowledgeable in their field. I personally had Ryan Hamilton working for me, and I could not have asked for a better person, he was kind, informative, and very good at explaining every detail to the dot. I strongly reccomend using badre law for their services. 5 out 5 from me!
Excellent work by my lawyer, Ryan Hamilton and my paralegal, Carlos Ortiz. The communication between myself and the professionals was excellent.
They consistently kept me updated regarding my case. Daniel Badre, the owner took on my case when many other law firms refused to and basically said mine was a lost case. Daniel is a very optimistic and personable man, indeed.
I recommend Badre Law to anyone seeking legal support.
I was happy with my settlement from a vehicular taxi accident.
Badre Law rocks!
Very happy with the professionalism I received with Badre Law. I would highly recommend Michael Adamek for any legal needs!
2024 Update: Michael's expertise saved us thousands of dollars by having a case dismissed prior to trial. Brilliant Lawyer with extensive knowledge for his craft. Will absolutely consider Michael in the future again. Thank you!
Thank you Daniel, Alex, Olha and Franca. The MVA that we went thru impacted us way too deep. Our insurer kept on shortchanging us and drain us first of our patience, strength and self control before they are able to “help”. But you guys are exactly the opposite of the insurance guys. You are there to promptly answer our calls, listen, and give your expert advice. You gave no promises but you definitely delivered, with a BANG! We thought we don’t have a case, that we just have to suck up all the pain and troubles we went thru with the MVA. But you guys proved us wrong, that we deserve to be compensated. Thank you for making our case a Success! You guys are remarkable and we are deeply grateful. Sincerely, Andy and Angie.
Posting this on behalf of my daughter Serafina Mazzarello " I couldn't be happier with the team at Badre Law , with a big acknowledgement to Carlos Ortiz, who has been nothing but a pleasure to work with.
