After a long and unhappy marriage, my former spouse and I decided to hire Juliet to mediate our legal separation. We had initially hired our own legal representatives and that was proving to me a true nightmare and promised a protracted, painful and expensive pathway. We took a pause and decided to try a mediator and were so fortunate to find Juliet and her paralegal, Jentri. As one can imagine, splitting from a spouse of nearly 4 decades was a complex, conflict-riddled, contentious experience. Juliet somehow managed to maintain her incredibly professional, calm and neutral stance while we hammered out our settlement contract. Her billing was beyond fair and well accounted for. Her work, including the computations needed, was carefully prepared and meticulously documented. Given the behaviors she had to tolerate and the "tattling" she was subjected to, she remained supportive of both parties and respectful toward us. When it was over and we met to sign paperwork, she was very empathetic and left me with a box of tissues and time to compose myself. I know we were difficult to deal with and she must have had to use all of her skills to coach us to the conclusion. A year later, my former spouse asked for a divorce and wanted to use her to complete that last step. Again, she and Jentri were professional, brief and did not get involved in the drama surrounding the divorce. Since her work had been so thorough during the separation, the divorce was quick and simple and they took care of everything. I was so grateful! I would highly recommend Juliet to anyone that thinks they can navigate a marital split with some semblance of civility, the ability to "be in the same room" negotiating the terms and avoid a costly and destructive battle.

Ms. Laycoe and her office were professional, and very thorough with our paperwork, follow up emails if they had questions. My questions to their office were answered promptly. My zoom meeting with the judge stating all the paperwork was complete and took seconds for him to sign off. Would highly recommend.

Juliet truly cares for her client’s well being and works tirelessly toward positive resolutions.

Juliet represented myself for a divorce case. She fit my needs of detailed oversight and advice for a mediation (non-trial) scenario. Throughout the process, pre, post, and during mediation, Juliet and her paralegal Jentri made sure the bases were covered with a consistently meticulous style. As a non-detailed person this help was invaluable, and she caught errors in the other party's paperwork, and she had a good feel for where we might want to push or compromise... and helpful guidance on what is reasonable. I'm happy with her services and if I had to do it again, would hire her again.

My ex-husband is a controlling challenging person. When he re-married he tried to take my autistic son away from me saying I was a working Mom and he could provide a better home with his stay at home wife. He tried again when we moved across town. Always Juliet guided me through. Her declarations focus on the law and her response to the mud my ex threw are addressed in a dignified manner. Then you watch Juliet in court. She is incredibly prepared for the attorney debate in front of the Judge. Juliet knows the details of the case way better than any other attorney. She verbally articulates the argument focusing on the law and honestly destroys in a polite manner whomever she's up against. She's the best attorney in Vancouver. I'll always go with Juliet when it comes to the custody of my children and would strongly recommend her to any of my friends. She's an A+

Overwhelmed, dealing with loss, lacking trust of others and needing legal guidance badly, I contacted Juliet. Juliet is very methodical when she speaks, organized when she works . I trust her.

I appreciate Juliet's calm, professional demeanor. She was extremely good at leading me through the difficult process of divorce, separating out the decision items from the emotional issues that surround this type of legal matter. She is objective, factual, easy to communicate with on issues and discussions that can be quite uncomfortable and emotional at times. I think she was fair and respectful to my ex-spouse while always maintaining my best interest even when I didn't necessarily agree or understand initially. I appreciated her kindness during such a traumatic time. I relied on her to be more objective than I was at the time. I needed her expertise and experience in presenting options and the range of possible solutions. I recently had a an experience in purchasing a home where the mortgage lender requested a copy of the divorce decree written by Juliet. That person said it was the best written decree she had ever seen and because it was so clear and well done, I was able to qualify for a loan. Without it, I may of had a different reaction from the lender. While I hope I will never need Juliet's legal assistance again! (at least for divorce matters)...I am very hopeful that my sharing of this experience will hlep others choose with confidence the service that Juliet can provide to help make it as positive of outcome as it can be.

Juliet Laycoe assisted us with our family legal planning. She was very straight forward in her approach which helped us take the emotion out of the process. Juliet was fair in price and kept us well informed during the process. We were very comfortable working with her. I have worked with other attorney's in the past and was challenged to understand what they were telling me. Juliet on the other hand communicates in a language we can understand. I know Juliet to be well regarded in the business community. Her family has a long history of ethical high standards and a great degree of community involvement and support. It is WITHOUT reservation that I recommend Juliet for your legal needs.

I initially referred to Juliet's partner by a friend. He wasn't able to take me on, so he sent me down the hall to Juliet. I could not be more grateful for him doing so. Juliet was my protector. She was by my side every step of the way, and still is. She has always been straight up with me about her take on every situation, and has never stopped going above and beyond the call of duty for me. I ended up on the other side of my ordeal right where she said I would, which was a far better place than the one I was looking at before I hired her. She will do all of these things for you too.

I hired Ms. Laycoe for a Divorce case. She kept me informed about our case and gave me good, sound advice. Ms. Laycoe also gave me great information on what was and was not worth "fighting" for. She took into consideration my concerns and my priorities. She fought hard for me and for what was most important to me, my child. She was straight forward and truthful even if it was not what I wanted to hear. Juliet was a sounding board and helped me through a very difficult time. Even though I know that I was not her only client, she made me feel as if I was the most important case she had. I would, and have recommended Ms. Laycoe to other people. I would not hesitate to use her again at anytime.

Juliet is terrific. She is very responsive and always kept me informed.
