    Andrew is very professional, knowledgeable, fair and straightforward. I was grateful for his ability to outline all my options clearly and also his professionalism during a difficult time in his personal life. He did not let his personal life affect any time sensitive needs of my case, which didn’t go unnoticed. Highly recommend Andrew!

    Andrew Wray provided thorough analysis of my circumstances and provided sound advice. He is personable, knowledgeable and took the stress out of a stressful situation. In my professional career I have had occasion to work with many lawyers and I can easily say that Andrew meets and exceeds the bar (pardon the pun). Anton K.

    I had a very positive experience with the staff at Wray Legal LLP. Andrew Wray is a very brilliant bilingual lawyer. I was in search of a French Speaking lawyer and I came across him. He is a good listener, very professional with patience and passion for his job. I am grateful I met you. Thanks to you and your staff for your exceptional services 🙂

    Andrew Wray came highly recommended and now I know why! Andrew took a personal and very supportive approach as he helped to guide me through a long and challenging labour hearing process that had already cost me too many sleepless nights. His demonstrated understanding of the complex legal and procedural issues gave me tremendous confidence. Having never previously testified or given evidence, his advice on what I could expect on the stand was worth its weight in gold. I was kept completely in the loop with regard to strategies and next steps, and was always made to feel like I was steering the ship - with Andrew as my formidable engine. Oh, and by the way, we won the case! 🙂

    I am also highly recommending Wray Legal. Andrew represented me in a complicated employment matter - he was extremely responsive, and knowledgable in offering excellent legal advice. Andrew explained/outlined thoroughly what to expect and worked to make sure I was getting the very best outcome. I really liked how very realistic he was about my options and which would be the most beneficial to my specific situation. Wray Legal came highly recommended from friends and I can see why. Excellent experience

    Andrew helped me to resolve a complicated legal dispute with a former employer. Andrew was extremely professional is all of his dealings with me and opposing counsel. Andrew treated me as a partner, not just a client. It was an extremely positive experience and outcome, especially considering the difficult nature of the dispute. Thanks for all your help, Andrew!

    Andrew represented me through a workplace issue during a very low point in my life. From a legal standpoint he was extremely knowledgeable and professional. More than that, however, he was kind, gentle and understanding.  Having a lawyer that not only knew what he was doing, but who is also a good human being who went above and beyond to communicate and offer emotional support was the best possible thing both for the outcome of my case as well as for my mental health. I will always feel grateful to Andrew and his firm.
