The firm also offers services in criminal law, youth protection, litigation and immigration. \u201cMany of the big firms across Quebec focus predominantly on business law and commercial disputes,\u201d explains Mr. Cormier-Lassonde. \u201cFor individuals seeking to defend their rights, there was room on the market for a firm like Devichy. We were therefore determined to offer a range of services geared to individuals, from every corner of the province.\u201d With 13 offices across the province and remote consulting services, Devichy Lawyers is there to help their clients when legal worries come and shake up their lives.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"shortcode-wrapper shortcode-title clearfix\"><h2 class=\"modern aligncenter\">Staying close to people<span class=\"bottom-line\"><\/span><\/h2><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\u00a0\u00bb1\/2&Prime;][vc_column_text]It&rsquo;s often in a trying moment that lawyers from Devichy are there guiding their clients: separation or divorce, reporting a situation to the Director of Youth Protection (DYP), dismissal, criminal charge, etc. This human approach, which we prefer, really takes on its full meaning at our firm. \u201cWe are committed to staying in frequent contact with our clients and keeping them informed about the progress of their case,\u201d adds Ms. Vallelonga. \u201cWe even conduct regular surveys to know their satisfaction level, which enables us to adjust our aim, as needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur team is composed of senior and junior lawyers, some of whom are mothers of young children. Our model allows them to give the best of themselves when they\u2019re on the job, and to enjoy their family to the fullest when they\u2019re not at work.\u201d Veronica Vallelonga.<\/p>\n<p>For Xavier Cormier-Lassonde, this freedom is non-negotiable. \u00ab\u00a0Even before the pandemic hit, everything was in place at Devichy Lawyers to offer team members the chance to work wherever they wished\u2014whether at home, to be there when the kids got back from school, or abroad, provided their presence was not required in court. As the firm grows, this fundamental value anchors everything we do.\u00a0\u00bb[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u00a0\u00bb1\/2&Prime;][vc_single_image image=\u00a0\u00bb2453&Prime; img_size=\u00a0\u00bbfull\u00a0\u00bb add_caption=\u00a0\u00bbyes\u00a0\u00bb alignment=\u00a0\u00bbcenter\u00a0\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]While many firms cater to companies, the two founders of Devichy Lawyers had a completely different vision in mind.
