Rahima is a very good, loyal and honest lawyer. She helped right away and was reasonable regarding finances. She fought for me and also assisted me in navigating what is okay to say in court and what isn’t. If you have trauma or have trouble in your life, I recommend everyone to contact her and receive her support. She is very lively and understands every situation. She specializes in abuse, Muslim women, traumatize, and parenting issues too and if you go through a hard time in your life you can definitely contact her. Rahima is an ethical lawyer, she loves every culture/language. God bless her and protect her in evil eye. I went through a very painful and abusive life with my one child. Rahima fought for my rights and helped me survive in Canada with my child. She fought for my parenting order and safety.

Ms Shariff proved to be a knowledgeable Lawyer for us and she responded quickly and professionally to Opposing Counsel regarding my highly conflicted spouse. Rahima Shariff worked hard for us and explained what was happening when I was confused about the complex process. Located across from the courthouse downtown. Recommended.
