Stacey was the third lawyer that I had hired to represent me, after the previous two didn't achieve anything for me. Stacey is very different. He is not only the author of Canadian Employment Law with profound knowledge and experience, he is also the most efficient one, direct to the point. He is the toughest one, well known by HR people, and he takes care of his client all by himself. There is no junior lawyers under him. That's the big difference comparing with other big employment law firms on Google, where I could only meet with a young lawyer with little experience. After he spoke with me for 45 minutes, he found the best way to break through. He didn't need to ask for a lot of document and he didn't bill hours to review them. His fee structure is aligned with his client's best interest. My problem was solved very quickly with a great result, and I only have to meet with him twice and exchange some emails. He's not just a tough fighter and negotiator, he got great strategy to make a deal. He answered my emails during the holidays. He comes in the office very early, and we had a conference call at 7am in the morning when we need to make a quick decision. To me, he is the best employment lawyer, a patient teacher and a friend. I strongly recommend him to those who need help.

Stacey was super helpful and increased my settlement a significant amount. He is very busy so you have to chase him down a bit but that is minor issue compared to all of the positives. Overall if you need a good labour lawyer then talk to him right away. He is THE lawyer to go to in Ontario!Thanks Stacey!

My experience with Stacey R. Ball was very positive. His fees are reasonable and value I received for the money was outstanding. Luckily, after his advice my situation was resolved almost amicably. You will not believe how reasonable some people can become after they start suspecting you have a good lawyer. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If you suspect you might need a lawyer in the future because of some developing situation at work, I highly recommend you wait no more and talk to Stacey.

Stacey has recently represented me. He’s patient, but to the point which I can appreciate. No fluff. He worked quickly and even responded during his holidays. Definitely highly recommended.

If I could give Stacey Ball 30 stars I would! Stacey was right on the “ball” when it came to my legal matter. I called his office and his efficient staff scheduled me for an appointment the next day. He’s a great listener and comes to the point quickly, confidently, and succinctly. He explained best and worst case scenarios and dealt with my matter without delay. He was successful in concluding my legal matter to my satisfaction and met all my expectations. I highly recommend Stacey for all your legal matters.Alexa

Mr Ball represented me in a wrongful dismissal case. It was quite evident from my initial consultation until the conclusion of my settlement. Mr. Ball mirrored professionalism, empathy and above all confidence. Mr Ball reviewed my case and informed me what I was entitled to and what to expect at time of settlement. I was represented diligently right up to the conclusion of my settlement. He was able to negotiate an amount that was above my expectations. I would highly recommend Mr. Ball to anyone in need of assistance in any type of employment situations. In conclusion that one of the main things that impressed me most was that he at all times puts his clients FIRST.

Stacey was my second lawyer I retained after my original lawyer felt that he would be better suited to deal with my difficult employment matter. Stacey was very direct, efficient and respectful of my time. He was tenacious in negotiations and challenged/invalidated all points the other lawyer argued. I would not have achieved my outcome without Stacey. Thank you!Daphne Scott

Stacey Ball was a huge help for me from start to finish in a contract negotiation, and was able to very quickly identify issues and advise me on next steps. He was understanding of my situation and provided specific advice on a broad range of clauses in my contract. I would 100% consult with him again based on my experience.

After ending employment with my employer of 9 years due to actions that I felt were steps of constructive dismissal, I contacted Mr Ball to determine my employment rights. Through the whole process from beginning until conclusion, I found Stacey to be very professional and knowledgeable and would recommend him and his team as your representatives for employment law matters.

Cole Carr

I met with Stacey Ball this morning for a consultation. He was incredibly generous with his advice and support in a consultation I needed. I highly recommend contacting him, even if you are unsure you will require his services - he will help you evaluate the situation and whether you need his services.

Katy M. Smith

I recommend Stacey Ball without hesitation. I was wrongfully dismissed and Stacey worked efficiently and communicated regularly to get a great settlement. He helped make a bad situation better – you want a lawyer like Stacey on your side!

I would highly recommend Stacey Ball any time! Stacey accurately pinpointed the challenges of our situation and gave solid advice right from the beginning. When things got confusing for me, he took the time to explain them in lay terms so I could make informed decisions. A big thank you to Stacey ball and his team for helping me with a stressful situation and for always being there to smooth things over. We were even able to have a laugh or two and he definitely brings a human touch to legal matters which can be super uncomfortable for "regular" people that don't deal with legalese every day!

I would strongly recommend Stacey and his services for any employment related legal issues. His academic and professional experience provide a unique approach to strategizing over a case with his clients best interest in mind, and builds the case based on facts. He is an advocate for employees who have been wronged and his work with the supreme court demonstrates his commitment to changing the system for the better.

A few months ago, I was blindsided by my three partners who had decided to buy me out, at a fraction of the original investment contribution that I made when I joined the company. I decided to hire Stacey after interviewing him at his office. I knew then and there that he would make put my former partners in their place. Thank fully, I was right and Stacey took care of the matter in mediation, getting me 100% of what I was entitled to. The man is a legend in employment law and has the credentials to prove it, after all, he wrote the book on employment law! Thank you Stacey, appreciate all you've done. Best, LK.

I had spoken with three lawyers before I met with Stacey Ball. What I liked about our meeting was that Mr. Ball provided answers to my questions and made me feel that he had my best interests in mind. I was informed of a settlement amount I would be entitled to receive and he worked at getting it. You will get a chance to get some sleep knowing that your case will be resolved promptly and that your rights are being looked after. You will find his fees are competitive but fair as he evaluates each situation separately. If you want to know what you rights are, want results, without wasting time, look no further. My case was handled efficiently and I would recommend his services to anyone that asks. A big thank you Stacey Ball for your services.

Stacey is the best employment lawyer in Canada. I strongly recommend him to those who need help.

Sandra Knight

I got fired with no explanation from a workplace where i spend 4 years. I immediately started looking for a lawyer and got in touch with Stacey. He reviewed my case, helped me to calculate my severance pay and prepare all the proper documents. I would say Stacey is very knowledgeable and helpful in unfair dismissal cases. I would recommend him.

Sebastian Enachescu

18:19 29 Nov 19

I was extremely pleased with the service provided by Mr. Stacey Ball and assistants. When I first approached him with my situation-a severance package well below merit, he was very direct with what is a reasonable severance and what he wanted to negotiate for me. Within a very short time he was able to get me 70% more above the initial severance offer and an additional 10% for pension and benefits. The timeline worked out beautifully as I did not fall short of funds while waiting for the settlement. I was pleasantly surprised and grateful of the outcome. In addition, his fees were very reasonable and were hardly felt. Thanks again Stacey.:)

I was transferred to night shifts by my manager without asking if can/want work nights. When i confronted him i was told either take night shifts or leave the company. Mr. Ball really helped me to sort out this situation and get proper compensation for my constructive dismissal case. Mr. Ball acted professionally and at the same time friendly at all times. He was very supportive and very positive about the outcome of my case. He is a very good person.

Stacy helped me with my wrongful dismissal case. He is very knowledgeable and kind. With his expertise, he could resolved and provided me a satisfactory settlement solution with my ex-employer. His fees are reasonable and office staff are very supportive . I am very happy with his service.

Joyce Wang

Stacey helped me with my case and I have to say I am very pleased with the outcome. His professionalism and expertise were absolutely impeccable. I am very happy with the services that Stacey and his assistants provided me. Stacey and his assistants Rebecca and Jennifer were always available to answer my questions through the process. My case was resolved completely in a few months. Stacey is a top employment lawyer and one of Canada’s best employment lawyers, but his legal fee was very fair and reasonable. I would highly recommend Stacey to whoever needs a legal service.

Mr. Ball is a top notch lawyer. Having written the labour laws himself he is thorough and detailed. He did a great job for me and I am very grateful.He has a neat sense of humour if you are blessed to realize it as well.He responded to all my emails in record time and called me immediately when he had updates.

My 2011 experience with Stacey R. Ball was very positive. His fees are reasonable and value I received for the money was outstanding. Luckily, after his advice my situation was resolved almost amicably. You will not believe how reasonable some people can become after they start suspecting you have a good lawyer. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If you suspect you might need a lawyer in the future because of some developing situation at work, I highly recommend you wait no more and talk to Stacey.Update in 2020:I cannot write more reviews, it looks like one review per account, so I am editing the existing review. Another unrelated incident in 2020. Another consultation and advice what to do next in order to steer clear of unpleasant developments. His very reasonable consultation fee is the best investment I ever made in my peace of mind. He was busy so he could not meet me on the day I wanted, but he met me two days later, which was perfectly fine. After talking to him it became much more clear to me what to do and what to avoid doing. Quotes Supreme Court cases as references when he explains things as to what to do and why, looks like he knows them by heart. There is a good reason why he is busy. He is a very effective lawyer. Very highly recommend.

I hired Stacey about 10 years ago now to represent me on a constructive dismissal case. After my first meeting with him, I felt very confident he would do the long haul and stick through the tough times ahead. It was a long stressful two-year battle but we were successful in winning my case. Unfortunately I lost my job in April at the start of the pandemic. My employer terminated me without cause so the first person that popped into mind was Stacey. Again he took on my case and after just a couple of months, negotiated a strong settlement for me. I would recommend Stacey to my friends, family and anyone who is not familiar with employment law or feels like they are being taken advantage of by their employer.

Angel Morgan

Rudy Hartmann

07:14 22 Aug 21

Had a big job opportunity and had Stacey look over the contract, caught a few things in the contract that the employer ended up changing once I brought it up to them. Always a good idea to double check with someone who knows this stuff and I’m glad a did.

We would highly recommend Stacey to anyone who needs employment legal services. This was the first time we hired a lawyer to represent us for wrongful dismissal. Our case was a unique one which required creativity and an in-depth knowledge of employment law. It was evident to us in our first meeting that Stacey would be able to fight for our case because he listened to our situation and provided several strategies that we could work toward to achieve the result we want. The process was clear in the first day and the fees structure was discussed on the same day. Following his guidance, we were able to negotiate a strong settlement. Even though the process was stressful, he made it much easier for us and we shared a lot of laughs together. Thank you for standing up for us!

I'd never have thought that I would be treated unfairly at work and, as a result, wrongfully terminated. Well, I'm not the kind of person who is okay with being humiliated, so I contracted this employment lawyer as I heard he was one of the best in Canada. It definitely paid back. Thank you once again!!
