    Lubelia at BF Legal Services really saved me from complicated case when I was desperate. She guided me through the whole case when I had no clue what to do. She is patient and experience with the area she is working on. I really appreciate that I got help from her, will ask her for legal advice in the future. I would strongly recommend her to my friends because I believe more people should know Lubelia is their backup in legal service area, especially when they feel helpless.

    Lubelia was exceptionally helpful and provided me with resources during an attempted illegal lockout by my landlord, who was engaging in stressful self-help options that were interfering with my ability to attend to my school, work, and family functions and responsibilities. She was most responsive and swift in action to prevent any form of injurious displacement and helped to solve the issues at hand promptly and economically. Thank you infinitely Lubelia for your assistance!

    I had a wonderful experience with Lubelia at BF Legal Services, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to anyone. She has integrity, and her pursuit of justice is truly admirable. She was not only incredibly knowledgeable with regards to the legal system, but was highly responsive and provided continuous support to me through a very trying time. She had the foresight and perseverance required to help me navigate my situation, and ultimately achieve the results I was hoping for at the LTB. I couldn’t have done it without her!
