I read all the posts and thank goodness I can post my experience on this forum in hope that I will save another parent from the grief I suffered. The experience with this firm was terror filled. As soon as I met this woman, (who I interviewed) I knew she painted an illusion. I worked with her for supervised visitation of my child for a very short period of time. Their services were terminated very shortly for reasons where an arrest should have been made. Joanna Seidel should have gone to jail for the deliberate negligence of a minor. Although, the law must side with offenders because I was unsuccessful in prosecuting this woman. Not only did she cover up for her negligence, but she also made up lies, time and time again while my child was in clear and present danger. It is a miracle how my child did not get seriously hurt. The consequences of this firm and it's existence has caused extensive and possibly irreversible damage to my household. NEVER work with this firm, Joanna Seidel is a fraud.
My children have been court ordered to attend reconciliation counseling with Ms Seidel. During my first meeting with her she manipulated my words and wrote lies in her notebook even after I stopped her and told her it was completely incorrect. My 2 boys age 10 and 11 are refusing to go to speak with her. Because of this, she told me to park the car outside her Toronto office, open the doors to the car and leave the area so she could have
"Private space". She wrote to family court repeating the lies and manipulations she had wrote down and completely denying that she had told me to abandon my boys in the street. I am horrified by her behavior and the stories I have read. I am asking if you would be willing to tell your experience in the form of an affidavit. It is the only way that I may persuade the court to spare my children from this woman. I understand that this is a lot to ask ... It is my only hope. Please contact me at fallenangel1971@live.ca
