What People Are Saying

David Kangas

They were professional, explained the processes and my options well, efficient, and very understanding during a difficult process. I highly recommend!

Ben Heil

Brad Frago represented me in an ex parte physical and legal custody order brought against me. The short story is: legal and physical custody was restored to me along with equal parenting time and my kids are all happy and continue to thrive as a result.

Scott Andrzejeski

Michelle Lasswell represented me in a Child Support/Parenting Time case in the second half of 2022. She and her assistant Mandy were more than knowledgeable, helpful, kind, and willing to help me in the fight for fair and equitable time with my son, who I was only getting to see every other weekend at the time. I am happy to say we received a default judgement, allowing me more time than I could have hoped for to reconnect with, and improve the quality of life of my son. I could not have done all the heavy lifting without F&L's help (and of course Mandy), and recommend to anyone in need of legal assistance to reach out to them.

Most amazing Lawfirm hands down! Michelle helped and guided me through everything every step of the way. They truly care about there customers!

Erin Janssens

Michelle is an amazing lawyer to work with and know. She is thoughtful, honest, intelligent, hard-working and always looking out for her clients best interest. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a lawyer. In fact, I have already recommended her to people who might need a lawyer eventually at some point in their lives. She is just that good.

Deanna Mason

I have worked with Brad Frago at Frago and Lasswell for nearly a decade and been pleased with his representation. Brad has always provided legal advice that is sound, logical, and non-passionate. It is imperative to have a non-passionate counsellor in family law in order to get to the legal heart of an issue rather than dwelling on the emotional aspects. I highly recommend Brad to anyone needed legal services.

Tara Nesmoe-Thompson

Frago and Lasswell represented my husband in his custody case and myself in another case. We used Michelle both times and had nothing but positive experiences. You could tell she really cared about her clients/cases and wasn’t just doing a job. She was willing to go above and beyond to create a strong case in both instances. She was also willing to work with us as much as possible to keep costs from getting out of hand. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal services.

Zachary Thompson

Worked with Michele Lasswell on a couple different issues and she was always great. Very honest and professional. I would and have recommended her her to anyone looking for legal services.
