What some of our clients are saying about Liddiard Law
I've had the pleasure of working with Michael and speaking with him about his expertise a few times. Our most recent conversation centred on business structures and the pros and cons of Incorporation, partnerships and sole proprietorships. If you are in business and considering changes to your operations, I highly recommend booking a call with him first.
I had a great experience working with Michael and his team. Michael was professional, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the whole process. A special thank you to Lauren, who I was in constant communication with. She was so helpful every step of the way, always quick to respond, and took the time to explain everything clearly. She really made the whole process so much less stressful and was a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend Michael and Lauren to anyone looking for reliable and supportive legal help.
Used Michael Liddiard for ILA services. Him and his assistant Lauren were very professional and helpful through the whole process. Michael is easy enough to get in touch with and the process ran very smooth. I would highly recommend working with this firm for whatever your needs may be.
Michael has been helping me and my clients top notch service for all of our corporate law needs, and beyond. Michael has a great way of including his team in the process, which creates an inviting feeling everytime you enter his office, as well as speed up the process so that you can get the support you need quicky, especially when your needs are urgent.

If I could give 6 stars, I would. Michael did our house sale deal, and his service, competency & conscientiousness, and that of all of his assistants, especially Michelle, was extraordinary! And I'm a business lawyer, so I've done a lot of deals, and I can tell you that the way Michael handled our sale was the best of all of our very many house deals over +40 years. Hire him.
Michael is a lifesaver. Yesterday, I was dealing with some legal issues in my business. As someone who has never dealt with any legal issues in my business, I was extremely concerned.
One email to Michael and his clear handle on the exact next steps was extremely comforting.
As I said to Michael, the fact that he was dealing with it and dealing with it so quickly allowed me to sleep last night.
To give you an idea of how amazing Michael and his team are for helping with any business law issues, I wrote him at 3pm. He got back to me by 5pm. He had finished the needed work by 4:45am this morning. 13 hours from reaching out to him to having the matter dealt with (I don't even know how it is possible!)
When it comes to the best law firm in Burlington, Liddiard Law is #1, no question! Doesn't matter if it's a personal or business issue, Michael is the lawyer for you!
Liddiard Law made our home closing process smooth and stress-free. They were professional, efficient, and always available to answer our questions. We’re grateful for their help and highly recommend them for any real estate needs!
I've worked with Michael on a few challenging situations, and I’ve always appreciated how straightforward and responsive he is. He’s great at cutting through the noise, giving clear advice, and adapting to whatever twists come up along the way. Whether it’s a delicate payment issue or navigating the complexities of client relationships, Michael brings both common sense and legal expertise to the table — and he’s quick to jump in when needed. Highly recommend him to any business owner who wants a lawyer who’s actually easy to work with.
I have referred many of my clients to Michael Liddiard to close their new home purchase or mortgage refinance as well as cohabitation agreements, wills and other legal agreements. He has been a phenomenal resource for my clients and friends. He is informative, caring and professional! I would highly recommend!
Liddiard Law has been amazing in helping me all of the legal stuff for selling my home after my husband passed away. It was awesome that we were able to do Zoom calls since I was in a different city and everything was settled in a timely matter. Thank you to all and will keep you in mind for any future legal matters. Elizabeth Quirk
Once again Connery and Michael came through as they helped me with my personal documents. They were able to explain things I had never thought of in a relaxed atmosphere. They took so much time and discussed everything with my granddaughter as well. Even though I knew they were extremely busy they took the time to make sure we understood everything completely even when we had to change some things. Now I feel at peace at having this all looked after and confident all was done right. Thank you Connery, Michael and Kori at the front desk!! Has been an awesome experience!!
Used Liddiard Law for closing as the seller on a sale of a property.
Lots of delays in the process due to the buyer and their financing - but Mike and his team stayed in constant communication with me and took the time to explain my options as it looked like the sale may fall through. All documentation was explained thoroughly and dealt with in a timely manner.
Mike even called me at 9pm as I was about to board a flight to Europe to make sure that everything was in good hands prior to me leaving.
If you are in need of a lawyer’s office who has a team of professionals who are caring, friendly, polite and prompt….look no further! Charity and Michael were a breeze to work with explaining things in detail and always quickly answering my emails. Certainly a great local firm I would highly consider calling!
I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Liddiard Law. The entire team acted promptly, answered all my questions and guided me through the process effectively and with patience. Everyone was very friendly, accommodating and efficient. I highly recommend their services for anyone in need of legal counsel.
Our home and financial situation was going down the hill, and we had to act on it. We contacted Michael's brother for mortgage advice (by the way, he's one of the best mortgage broker and we highly recommend him too!), and from that moment on, it was a smooth ride for us (probably not on their side!). They worked tirelessly during the whole process, explaining us step-by-step, and took time to guide us through the process. Madison replied to every single e-mails promptly, and was courteous. We will not choose anyone else for future events, and I hope this review helps others choosing the right firm for the right reasons. Thank you!
