I was involved in a family law matter for over three years with very poor progress. The process was extremely stressful and financially draining. After deciding to change my legal team, I met Evgeniy and Kim, and from that moment everything changed for the better.
From the very beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout my case. They took the time to clearly explain every step of the process and ensured that I understood my options. Their communication, attention to detail, and dedication truly set them apart.
For the first time in years, I felt heard, respected, and confident that my case was in capable hands. Their genuine care for their clients made a very difficult situation much easier to navigate.
I highly recommend this law office to anyone dealing with family law matters. Evgeniy and Kim are compassionate, hardworking, and truly committed to achieving the best outcomes for their clients.
Thank you for helping bring some normality and peace of mind back into my life.
10 stars!!!

Navigating family court can be incredibly stressful, but having a lawyer who is organized, strategic and genuinely attentive has made a significant difference. I appreciate his straightforward advice and the confidence he brings to my case.
I would highly recommend the team at Progressive Legal Solutions.

I worked with Evgeniy and Kim through a very acrimonious, protracted divorce, made even harder by opposing counsel’s unnecessary hostility. Evgeniy was the 4th lawyer I enlisted in the 13 years it took to finally resolve all outstanding issues in the settlement dispute. I found Evgeniy when my previous lawyer gave up their practice while we were preparing for trial and, despite an impending trial date and a voluminous file to become familiar with in such a short time frame, he took on the case.
Not only was he able to effectively negate the demand that I pay a life-altering amount over and above our previously agreed to payments, he successfully advocated that child support was properly owed to when our shared parenting arrangement shifted to full-time parenting time in my care.
To know that you have such a strong and knowledgeable advocate working with you on your behalf lightens the burden immensely and I can’t state what a mental relief that brings. Every step and each option was clearly explained. The mix of compassion and strong advocacy helped me stay grounded during a difficult process.
I rarely write reviews and especially those of such a personal matter, but Evgeniy and his team really deserve the accolades you see here. I wouldn’t wish the misery that divorce can bring to your life on anyone, but if it should happen to you, you could not find a better person to represent you. I’m truly grateful for their support and would highly recommend Evgeniy for any challenging divorce case.

After almost 2yrs I switched lawyers to work with Evgeniy and his team.
I went from feeling like I was loosing everything and just spending money. I spoke with Evgeniy and within minutes he sounded like he was using my own thoughts.
I switched and we began to make progress. It was like working with a long time friend that could say and do all the right things for you.
Im forever grateful for the time he helped me achieve to have with My Daughter.
Strong, professional, no bull, and affordable.
Thank you PLS

As a young mom with no support, I spent years overwhelmed by the idea of divorce. Every lawyer before Evgeniy made things feel complicated and unaffordable, quoting me $10,000 retainers that scared me off.
Evgeniy at Progressive Lawyers made everything simple, kind, and affordable. He explained things clearly and never once made me feel intimidated or pressured. I truly felt like he cared about helping me, not just making money.
His team, especially Kim, was so kind and supportive. They were warm, genuine, and made me feel heard and respected the entire time.
What felt impossible for years turned into a smooth, positive experience thanks to Evgeniy and his amazing team. I’m so grateful I found them and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly recommend!

I have been through a handful of family lawyers over a period of 18 years. This is the first time I felt I had a family member fighting by my side for what’s just for my children. Mr Evgeniy is methodical and thoughtful throughout our entire process he is genuine, fair and ethical I am proud to have him on my side through these very trying times I have already recommended him to the best of my friends and family

Han Xie is amazing and she and her colleges are angels sent from heaven!!! She helped me within 24 hours with filling a emergency motion to return my son from the father that didn’t want to return the little guy, only 4 years old to me… from the begging of consultation she went right to the process of getting my son back! Han stayed at work after hours at work just to get the motion done and help me and my kid! These people are amazing and especially Han is so compassionate that I would recommend this woman to help you with any family matters because she is so dedicated and very caring that is amazing that there is still people like that out there!!!
Like I said she is like an angel sent from heaven!!
And they not all about money they are about helping people like me! Which is why I would do anything for them in return for what they did for me. Especially Han Xie!
Thank you soo much for everything!!!!

I cannot thank Evgeniy at Progressive Legal Solutions enough for the incredible work they did in handling my custody agreement and child support case in family court. From the very beginning, Evgeniy showed compassion, dedication, and expertise, which made a challenging and emotional process so much easier to navigate. Evgeniy always took the time to listen to my concerns, clearly explained every step, and made sure my children’s best interests were the top priority. Thanks to the team at Progressive Legal Solutions hard work and attention to detail, we reached a favorable outcome that I am so grateful for. I highly recommend Evgeniy to anyone in need of a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and supportive family lawyer.

COMPLETE LiFE SAVER !!
and his team of miracle workers
Trust me on this , I needed a miricle . I've been in and out of family court for the past 10 years with high conflict
Cases over and over again, I have dealt with many lawyers in my time, and nothing comes even close to my experience with this firm . I found Mr . Osipov
2 months prior to a ten day trial after my lawyer left me high and dry . I was completely doomed , mentally and financially bankrupt and about to lose my children . I found an angel... He took my case in blind and gave me some faith and an incredible fighting chance , My file was nothing short of a complete disaster. Everything was filed incorrectly. I would have lost everything by default. The other party was extremely controlling and difficult to work with ... I had zero chance at all getting through any of this without Mr. Osipov .. My losses would have been great and devestating to me and my children . This was a high conflict trial with 10 years of material and moutains of court documents , i was broken and defeated . Mr Osipov cleaned up my file , in record timing , managed to cut trail and costs in half !!!! He's hard working , quick thinking , highly educated straight to the point, no drama incredibly empathetic . He pulled off an absolute miracle, and the impossible was done . My review and words do zero justice to what he actually did for me and how incredibly grateful I am to him and his entire team . I will never work with another firm ever .! His entire team is amazing !!! He fought hard for what was right ... and im forever grateful .
According to others who witnessed this trial , the exact words spoken were ..
this trial will be legendary !!!! And he will forever be remembered for it .
Mr. Osipov, if you read this, you're a
LEGAND, and I can't thank you and. everyone involved enough .
When the verdict comes out, im buying everyone sushi .

What a difference in experience from my past lawyer. Evginey is straight up and to the point. Doesn't waste your money or try to fight for things he knows is not going to be won. He will straight up tell you it is going to cost you more than its worth. A very efficient and reasonable lawyer. I wish I had him from the beginning. I would have saved sooooo much stress, time, and money. A senior lawyer that knows his stuff. I can be a bit excitable, especially when speaking of my past with experience with the ex. and he can zone me in and bring me back to what is needed and not get off track. Evginey has done more in 6 months than the other lawyer did in 1.5 years. He also doesn't put up with the bullying tactics from my exes lawyer. Highly recommend.

In just a few weeks, Evgeniy solved my issue with spousal support that I had been fighting for 11 years through other lawyers.
He had just the right approach to sort everything out. He wrote an excellent brief and successfully negotiated an end to my problem.
Well done!!!

I cannot recommend Evgeniy Osipov, and the team at Progressive Legal Solutions Professional Corporation enough for anyone navigating the complex world of family law. From our very first consultation, their empathy and professionalism shone through, making a challenging process feel manageable. They took the time to listen to my concerns, providing clear guidance on what to expect at every step. Their expertise in custody and divorce matters was evident, as they effortlessly explained the legal intricacies and advocated fiercely on my behalf. The personalized attention I received, along with their remarkable ability to negotiate and reach favorable agreements, truly set them apart. If you’re seeking a compassionate and highly skilled family lawyer, look no further than Progressive Legal Solutions Professional Corporation. Thank you for going above and beyond in making such a challenging time in my life a little easier!

Made the change to PLS lawyers after having a bad experience with another law firm. Evgeniy Osipov has taken over my file and had great success from the first attendance in court. In addition, he alleviated the stress. Overall, I am happy with the work and environment at Progressive Legal Solutions. If you need the too quality work and down to earth approach, I definitely recommend them.

I want to leave a review for my lawyer Evgeniy Osipov. Before Eugene, I had four lawyers and my court case in the family court did not move at all for 5 years, and all my previous lawyers simply dragged out my case even more to get even more money from me. But Evgeniy is the only lawyer who really helped me. Eugene will really try to find a solution for you even in the situation which seems hopeless, and he is also an honest lawyer who will try to save your nerves and money so that you remain calm during the trial and do not have stress. Don't hesitate to call Evgeniy Osipov, if you feel you stuck in the family court, or you feel confusion and don't know what to do.

I am kind of an expert on family lawyers as I have cycled through 5 firms and lawyers within the past 3 years. I wish that I had found Evgeniy from the start of this horrific separation experience. I would’ve saved so much time and money and I am confident that my issues would have been resolved within the first year. I actually wanted to hold off on a review because I wanted to keep his focus on myself but since he has now successfully settled my matter entirely, I suppose that I can let everyone else have him. If you need a family lawyer that is fair, genuine, honest and values your family’s best interests, look no further. He goes up against the “sharks” and puts them in their place and he is also very well respected within the judges circles for Barrie and York region. He doesn’t over charge like EVERYONE else. Thanks Evgeniy. Best wishes for the future brother.

In a world where your often treated like a number, a time when kindness is in short supply and unfortunate situations seem to just find the best of people. Evgeniy and his wonderful wingwoman Kim (Family Law Clerk) are an unstoppable team who made a debilitating time in my life as positive and successful as possible.
I found myself in a situation where I was contacted by a lawyer via email who was representing my ex suggesting I obtain a lawyer immediately! So my hunt for the best began and the best I ended up finding thank goodness as I did not know a thing about anything regarding the legal system or what I was in for. As a single dad who was in a strapped financial situation with what felt like the weight of world on my shoulders Progressive Legal Solutions was there!
They kept me informed, provided knowledgeable advice, processed what was needed when necessary while being cost efficient to me. He is everything you would want in a lawyer, professional, compassionate, organized, personable, punctual and his overall insight, honesty and work ethic got me my desired results and more though I didn’t even start the legal battle I was in.
I hope he doesn’t mind me saying but he is a son of a wrestling champion and he was also trained by an Olympian boxing medalist. I can say with first hand experience that he not only knows how to fight in a ring. He has been with me from day one of my crazy situation and has won me everything in my case to date. I feel I can say with 110% certainty he & Kim will do their very best by you because they are the best!
Thank you Progressive Legal Solutions, for all that you have done for me and my little boys! I would not have or be where I am if it weren’t for you Mr. Osipov and your team.
So forever grateful and appreciative!

Evgeniy and his team are professionals who know what they are doing. They can help anyone get through the most difficult times during separation because they care! I do not hesitate recommending PLS if you are going through a difficult separation even if it involves complicated issues.
Kim

Evgeniy was honest and realistic from the start, he was very clear about expectations and best/worst case scenarios. My issue was resolved efficiently and he even discouraged me from fighting needlessly which saved me a great deal of money which would have otherwise gone to him. The options for remote or in person meetings was very helpful, and much time was saved by using electronic secure file sharing. Lost one star for some initial communication issues that had me on edge but were eventually resolved, but I would definitely use PLS again.

Evgeniy is a lawyer with a heart! He worked with me on a very complicated case for over 2 years. Never forgetting his human side. He is passionate in what he does. He is very pleasant and attentive. Extremely knowledgeable and creative. He invests 100% in the case. Evgeniy and his team deserve the highest praises for everything they did for me. I have no hesitation recommending them to anyone.

Mr. Osipov is the best lawyer in barrie hands down. He has assisted me with my family law case and was more then great. If you want a lawyer that will fight for you regardless of anything, Mr. Osipov is the one you want. As a single dad trying to get full custody, when I thought everything was against us. He is very good at dealing with stressful situations and was very good at comforting me throughout the entire process. I have been to other lawyers and actually dropped a couple, but when I found Mr. Osipov I knew right away he was the guy to take this case on even though It looked unbeatable. Highly recommend, very professional and I don't think I've met a lawyer more dedicated. If I ever need help in the future I won't hesitate to use him again.
