Testimonials
My firm has worked with Cyndee Todgham Cherniak on numerous occasions in connection with trade related matters. Her experience has proven invaluable in effectively navigating through all aspects of dealing with Canada Border Services Agency as well as the Canadian International Trade Tribunal. We have depended on her counsel and expertise in many different cases that we have been involved with as importers and she has guided us through the sometimes arduous processes in submitting the required documentation. She took the time to truly understand the structure and market approach of our business and how it would impact us in our first trade case. This knowledge was transferred to future cases as well. She has great attention to detail that saved us countless hours in gathering the proper documentation and information and has also steered us away from putting in to much work where it is not required. When the work per case can number into days and weeks, this is critical. Deadlines on reporting can be very detrimental to your resources as we have our current business to run while gathering this information. Her personal reputation and strong network of contacts have proven very valuable. Brahm Swirsky, Vice President Procurement of Noble A Rona related company, and Entrepreneur |
Cyndee is a lawyer who treats her clients with respect. We started to work with Cyndee because she is very knowledgeable in customs matters. It is a very specialized area and it was difficult to find someone in Canada who actually knew customs law. She has provided us with the legal and practical advice we require within the time frames we need the advice. Beyond that, the experience has been enjoyable.

Cyndee provided representation for a client of our firm on a Canadian trade matter. She provided excellent legal services. Without Cyndee's swift action, keen understanding of the relevant law and astute assessment of our client's position, the matter most certainly would have developed into a more costly scenario. The client was delighted with the outcome and we have enjoyed the professional relationship. February 10, 2010 Andrew McIntosh, shareholder, Fowler White Boggs Banker - US Attorney |
