Irving Solnik considered specializing after he completed law school but decided against so doing because of his highly inquisitive nature-he would have quickly become extremely bored so doing-practicing the same area of law day after day as nauseam.

“My expertise in many areas of law came about because of my love of diversification, my burning desire to excel in the numerous areas of law, my insatiable wish to learn the new and to greatly enjoy the excitement that is always generated and exists virtually in the almost countless areas, categories and subcategories that compose the broad spectrum of law.”

“I have always found boredom beyond reckoning-almost beyond my ability to cope-for always doing the same thing all the time including constantly practicing the same area of law as some lawyers do, is boredom to me at the highest level.”

“Only in the almost limitless areas of law have I been able to satisfy and nurture all the needs that exist in me and the new ones of law that constantly manifest themselves-where they come from, how they grow and then multiply, I know not.”

Irving Solnik then decided to practice as many areas of law as he could and found happiness practicing a wide range of areas of law ranging from commonplace matters to highly complex ones. He has become a master of practicing most areas of law and describe how he does so.

THE LEADING TORONTO LAWYER, IRVING SOLNIK, REVEALS HOW HE BECAME THE BEST AND ONLY LAWYER WHO IS REFERRED TO THOUSANDS OF TIMES DAILY ON THE INTERNET BY THE SEARCH ENGINES-EXPONENTIALLY GREATER THAN ALL OTHERS COMBINED.

HE IS ALSO THE BEST KNOWN TORONTO LAW ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET THIS IS BUT ONE OF MANY REASONS WHY NO ONE CAN CATCH HIM NO MATTER HOW HARD THEY TRY!

THE BEST TORONTO LAWYER STATES “CATCH ME IF YOU CAN” IS THE CHALLENGE AND YET NO ONE HAS WANTED TO BE A CHALLENGER-WHY?

HE IS BEST FOR DIVORCE (and all related issues), TAXATION, MEDICAL AND DENTAL MALPRACTICE, BUSINESS, CIVIL/CRIMINAL LAW AND ALL AREAS OF LAW YOU, SOME YOU MAY NOT HAVE HEARD OR KNOW OF!

WHY AND HOW? THE ANSWERS ARE OBVIOUS AND THE REASONS ARE DESCRIBED BELOW:

Irving Solnik states “I left my position in industry as house counsel, advertising, marketing, sales manager and then CEO because I finally realized how much I missed the practice of law and began to practice law again on a full time basis.”

“In less than eighteen months from when I started again, my law practice grew at a rate that even surprised me and the degree which it grew could well have taken others up to ten years or more accomplish.”

“According to other lawyers all that I accomplished in such a short time was spectacular and nothing short of impossible. I believe in and proved that the dictum “nothing was impossible was indeed possible.”

“I will show you how. I practiced and continue to practice all areas of law the way law should be practiced and I invariably succeeded and continue to succeed in the battlegrounds of the courts and those at the negotiating tables.”

“I attribute my success to many factors including my extensive knowledge, expertise (all self taught) and spectacular results that I obtained and continue to obtain from the exceptionally effective use of the internet utilizing methods I created.”

“The results that I obtain from the internet speak for themselves and I obtained them through the use of methods, techniques, strategies and tactics that I developed over a period of years and I constantly utilize them. No one knows what and how I consistently achieve spectacular results that defy all efforts and duplication.”

“Various factors include: my tenacious persistence, my marketing and advertising experience, skills and ability, my knowledge and my success in other fields of endeavor.”

“My fearlessness, my constant striving for perfection, my refusal to ever give up, my willingness to do whatever it takes with no holds barred and the outstanding results I obtained and continue to obtain for my clients in numerous areas of law in the courts or the negotiating tables no matter what the matters are.”

“Add constant study and learning, a highly retentive memory, a most prodigious work ethic-24/7 at times, prompt personal service for my clients and a host of numerous other factors.”

“They include genetics, years of warfare on the battlegrounds at the negotiating tables and those of the courts during which I was pitted against some of the most experienced, most knowledgeable, successful and highest priced lawyers in North America.

I vanquished all of them as you will read.”

“I am also always on call, 24/7 when required, makes house calls and provide my clients with prompt personal service. Does any other lawyer do all that I have done and continued to do?”

Irving Solnik, Is Best At Doing What He Does Best-He Practices All Areas Of Law and Is On Call Until 10pm Days, Evenings and Weekends! For Emergencies Call (416) 854-7059 24/7!

“For a number of years I was in house counsel for various companies as well as a senior executive including being advertising, sales and marketing manager and CEO until I realized how much I missed practicing law.

Then I divested myself of my other interests and devoted myself to practicing law full time and I realized that I missed the challenges of business. I added business and commercial law to the other areas of law I practiced and then had the best of both worlds.

My law practice grew substantially and quite quickly because of the results I obtained for my clients and I obtained my clients using techniques I developed for the internet as well as other highly effective means.

There are many other reasons for the spectacular success of my law practice and some of them are set out below.

“I practice all areas of law and practice law the way law should be practiced and do so 24/7 when required and I am also on call evenings, weekends and holidays until 10pm and if emergencies exist I am on call 24/7. “

There are many reasons as well and they include: my extraordinary work ethic, my extensive experience in numerous fields of endeavor, my multitasking ability, my excellent memory, an insatiable ambition and tenacity, my relentless drive to learn and explore the new, my desire to always succeed and not to fail, and my compassion for others.”

Gone Hollywood!

My attorney, Irving Solnik, has had a makeover! I knew he’d go all after handling the Pitt/Anniston divorce.

It looks good, but he lost some of the rough edge, and he’s going to wish he had that next time he’s scrapping it out in court. But he’ll still win and case, you can bet the house on that.

He quotes me on his website. I hope that means I get a break on my next case with him. I don’t just endorse anyone, you know. Posted by Shamus O’Drunkahan.

Undoubtedly aside from the above, one of the prime factors in my success in law and in business is a result of my intensive study of the book “The Art of War” written some three thousand years ago by the famous Chinese strategist, Sun Tzu, considered to be perhaps the greatest military strategist ever.

He was a contemporary of Confucius and the strategies he created work equally well now if not better than 3000 years ago. I was able, after intensive study, (I had the book translated for me from Chinese into English) to modify and adapt the strategies of Sun Tzu to law, business and real estate.

I also developed a number of highly effective strategies of my own that produced results that were often spectacular. The strategies I created law now inure to the benefit of my clients.

THE ANATOMY OF CHILD ABDUCTION BY A PARENT!

No matter what the legal issue is I am more than capable of looking after it to your complete satisfaction. I became a tough lawyer and major legal strategist to literally survive because I was personally pitted against a massive coterie of the finest and most expensive lawyers in the USA and Canada who acted for my ex wife after we were divorced and she illegally abducted-kidnapped-our two young sons after I won custody………

Yes, I won custody of our two young sons no matter the skills, experience and exceptionally large retainers her lawyers commanded.

My many strengths in law include negotiations, litigation (I am an outstanding and charismatic public speaker and motivator), family law in all its aspects, having personally been involved in the nightmare divorce and custody case that she instituted that lasted over six years.

The strengths and talent I possess also extend to most other areas of law and they finally manifested themselves after the legal battles began.

My ex-wife illegally abducted-kidnapped-our two sons after I was awarded sole custody of them because the Court decided that it was in their best interests that I have custody-in what may be well the toughest and most expensive custody case in history.

The case went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada and the court refused to hear it. The appeal was made by my ex-wife backed by her multi-millionaire parents and the refusal of the Court to hear it meant that the decision of the Court of Appeal was upheld. However this did not deter my ex wife, her parents and other conspirators from kidnapping them again.

It is truly a tale of horror and horrendous in many ways so much so that it was only recently that I regained the emotional strength to write about it.

My ex father-in-law was estimated to be worth $200 million although he stated when cross examined as a witness that he was worth a lesser sum.

Be that as it may, he retained for my ex-wife-his daughter, the law firm of Vinson, Elkins, the venerable, highly respected and major law firm of Houston, believed by many to be the most powerful law firm in the world (and for good reason-details are available on request).

Vinson, Elkins participated in the kidnapping of my two young sons. Not only did they create the plan for the kidnapping together with other evil conspirators some of whom were highly placed individuals-a law professor, doctors, a reporter, a chief of police and others.

Complete histories, names and actions of the conspirators are in the process of being written in detail. A front page feature story in the Globe & Mail at the time had headlines that blared:

“Millions Spent On Custody Row.”

I learned more about law, litigation, negotiations, strategies, tactics and court protocol during more than six years in Texas and Ontario courts-more than I learned in law school, many years of practice and more than most lawyers learn in a lifetime.

You can read about it at: http://myabductedsons.blogspot.com

To state that I was stunned beyond belief when I found out who all the conspirators were is the understatement of the century.

The one saving grace was that a Judge in Ontario, a rarity-a truly honest man who was to hear part of the lawsuit, called and advised me that he had been offered a bribe by a former chief of police but refused to accept it.

He then called to find out if I wanted him to recuse himself from being the presiding judge. I thanked him and asked that he remain as the judge and he did so.

I won every court battle but lost the war because after they were kidnapped again I could not locate them anywhere-that’s what many millions of dollars can do.

It is now some twenty years since I saw or heard of them. The pain has not diminished but at least now I can talk and write about it.

Undoubtedly aside from the above, one of the prime factors in my success in law and in business is a result of my intensive study of the book “The Art of War” written some three thousand years ago by the famous Chinese strategist, Sun Tzu, considered to be perhaps the greatest military strategist ever.

Furthermore because of the pain I suffered and still do and the irreplaceable knowledge and experience I obtained in divorce, custody, child abduction and all related issues I decided to focus much of my law practice on Family Law to help others who suffer the tragedies of divorce and related matters.

WHAT TO DO WHEN A PARENT IS DENIED ACCESS TO CHILDREN BY THE OTHER PARENT?

When separation or divorce has taken place it is apparent in many cases that when one parent has interim, joint or sole custody, the parent frequently denies access to the other.

This normally occurs when the parent does not drop off the children for access or is not at home when the other parent arrives to pick up the children for access.

Another form of denial is termed “over holding the children,” for example, returning the children late, at times by hours and at times for an entire night.

Obviously the custodial parent becomes worried and concerned unless advised of the late return of the children. Denial of access or over holding is almost invariably more frequent at or during holidays and also when the parents live in different cities.

From a legal point of view, the options for dealing with this tactic are rather limited as follows:

1. Lawyers usually can’t do anything immediately because access changeovers often occur on or near weekends. Even if one lawyer manages to reach the other parent’s lawyer, chances are the other parent is not just denying access, but also avoiding their lawyer’s telephone calls.

2. The police generally won’t help you. Normally the reason is that your agreement or court order isn’t specific enough. For example, if you have access every second weekend, it usually is unclear whether this is your access weekend or not.

But even if your agreement or court order is specific, it is rare that the police will want to get involved unless there is a specific order in the court order that states the police are to intervene in such cases. Thus the police will usually advise you to speak with your lawyer.

It’s extremely frustrating and aggravating for the parent who is to have the children as well as it is for the children. The time with and plans you made with your children are ruined without any notice.

What to do? The following are suggestions:

a. Don’t lose your temper and try to remain calm. If this is the first time it has happened, there may well be legitimate reasons why the other parent is delayed.

b. If you have the opportunity, go to court on an urgent basis to get an order directing the police to enforce the visitation order. This is a good option for a longer access periods, for example, if the children were to spend their spring break with you.

c. Keep trying to pick up your children. If you’re supposed to be spending a specific time period with your children, there’s nothing wrong with going to the other parent’s home many times to try to pick up your children.

Even if the other parent is the one who is supposed to drop the children off at your home, it may make sense for you to try to pick up your children.

d. Document everything. A stern letter should immediately be sent to the other parent or their lawyer. Such letters are normally not answered but they should be sent. A paper trail is created so that in the future you can show the other parent’s pattern of access denial.

e. Demand make up time but this is usually feasible. Make up time is probably what’s best for the children but obviously the other parent does not think so.

f. If a parent is persistently late returning the children, go to court to get the changeover time modified to an earlier time. Also, consider picking up the children yourself rather than relying on the other parent.

g. If your case hasn’t been resolved yet (i.e. you only have a temporary or interim order for access), use the denials of access to build a case as to why you should get sole custody. One factor courts consider in awarding custody is the willingness of each parent to facilitate access to the child by the other parent.

h. The last resort for dealing with persistent denial of access is to bring a contempt motion before the courts. There are difficulties in proceeding this way, but if the other parent is persistent in denying access you have no choice. The keyword is persistent-it generally is not worth going to court about an occasional missed access period.

Access denial is more common than a lot of people would care to admit. It’s causes range from everything from that legal grey area immediately upon separation where there is no agreement or court order in place to cases where the court order in and of itself is vague and open to interpretation.

A good strategy would be to focus on building a trail of evidence to show the steps a parent takes to respond to access denial in a peaceful and non-adversarial manner. It’s also good to be proactive.

If a person has experienced access denial in the past or if access denial is a legitimate prospect, try sending your spouse advanced notice of your intention to access the children, usually via registered mail in high conflict cases, via email in moderate to low conflict cases.

If the access denial still occurs, send your spouse a registered letter asking to resolve the issue via family mediation and list the names of some mediators.

Encourage him/her to select one of the mediators, arrange for the appointment and offer to make yourself available. Give it a week for a response. If there is no response, or your spouse tells you to “pound salt”, now you have a small trail of evidence to show a judge the steps you took in resolving the conflict.

It also shows the contrast between the parents who are mired in divorce conflict versus the parent who is looking for ways to resolve conflict. Rushing off to court, or even just sending nasty letters between lawyers, which is the instinct of most divorce lawyers and litigants, will generally just serve to heighten tension which may well result in future denials of access.

There are a number of strategies and tactics that can be used to prevent denial of access or at least minimize it. Over the years I have developed such strategies that often have had spectacular success.

They are as I have written above, to an extent, based on the strategies of Sun Tsu, the renowned Chinese war. When legal problems of any kind occur, or legal matters arise and you need a lawyer with the unique, rare and extensive qualifications I possess, especially in law, don’t wait because time is usually of the essence in most legal matters.

AN IMPORTANT CAVEAT ABOUT DIVORCE:

Why You Need And Why You Should Get A Lawyer If The Possibility Of A Divorce Exists! Know Your Rights and Obligations Before Its Too Late Especially When There are Children! Getting divorced is a frustrating and expensive time. First you must try to find the right lawyer who is tough and experienced and who provides personal service including returning your calls promptly.

Then you must chase your Ex to sign paperwork if the divorce is not contested! It’s HARD, frustrating and expensive. Also then you must deal with heartache, difficulty in concentrating and the inevitable pain caused by divorce. I am certain you know what I mean.

“Get a lawyer” is often the first thing that someone facing divorce is advised by family and friends. For the person whose life has just gone off track, who wants more than anything to get back to “life as usual,” that advice can seem cold.

The reality is that legal advice and help is critical even if all it involves is a preliminary consultation. Contacting a lawyer should not signal a bloody war between spouses but rather to protect each person’s interests at a very stressful and emotional time.

Yet a bloody signal is almost invariably made and all too often when there are children.

Here’s what ONE CLIENT wrote regarding the advice to newcomers to RETAIN A LAWYER.

“I am reconciled with my husband.” That said, my first advice is still usually “get a lawyer-know your rights and responsibilities.”

The reason for this is that many people who wind up with lawyer are not necessarily getting divorced — they are being divorced. “Can you forgive him or her” is irrelevant when the other spouse doesn’t give a damn if you forgive them, beg, plead, crawl or just go away and die.

“When we were first starting our divorce, I was unemployed, but we had savings, I had the house, and I knew I would get a job. I wasn’t worried about being homeless or starving, or any of the things that seem to traumatize people at the beginning of this process.

“Divorce is an emotional, thought-provoking time in people’s lives, and unfortunately, that is usually NOT the best time to be making decisions that could have life-long consequences.

Unfortunately, that is how this process works. Since it is a legal process that can occur totally without someone’s consent, having a third party who is emotionally neutral but legally advocating for you can make worlds of difference.

It takes two people to make or save a marriage — it only takes one to get a divorce. Many times, the spouse who has asked for the divorce has already done their emotional separating, their “grieving” for the end of the marriage, and their research on just how to get out.

The spouse that gets the surprise “I want a divorce” starts out already behind the 8-ball. When people come here asking, “What will happen to me?”, “Can he throw me out of my house?” “Can she take my kids away from me?” Can he keep everything because I haven’t worked outside the home in 15 years?”

Then my first advice will still be “Get a lawyer.” Reconciliation, counseling, etc. can happen at any point in the process, but the time to protect yourself now is to cover your unprotected behind, you’re a$$ (rear), before you get frostbite.

When you get a lawyer, retain the right one-a lawyer who is tough and experienced and who always does whatever it takes, is fearless, indefatigable and a formidable opponent. Need I say more? Call me!

IRVING SOLNIK IS FEARLESS, AGGRESSIVE, AN INDEFATIGABLE LAWYER AND ONE OF THE VERY BEST LAWYERS.

“I have many years of successful experience and an encyclopedic knowledge of law that is awesome. What’s more I practice law the way law should be practiced and greatly excel in most areas of law.

“The areas I most commonly practices are taxation, divorce, immigration, accidents, business law, taxation, corporations and numerous other commonplace matters on the one hand, libel and slander and complex matters including civil/criminal litigation on the other hand.”

“I am tough, fearless, indefatigable and always does whatever it takes and am a formidable opponent in the courtrooms and at the negotiating tables. “Losing” is not in my vocabulary.

I also provide personal service and can be contacted evenings and weekends.” My knowledge in many arenas is extensive and encyclopedic and my tongue can be the worst of lashes.

My clients come first and foremost and all my knowledge, experience and abilities are provided to them including highly effective strategies I develop for each individual case. No matter what category of law is involved I can successfully look after it.

My tenacity and persistence is legend. I also make house calls, am on call 24/7 and can also be reached evenings and weekends.

I also provide prompt personal service, a rarity today. My experience includes a disastrous episode in my life that I could well do without. But to every disadvantage there is advantage.

During all the years I spent in court fighting against some of the most brilliant and powerful lawyers anywhere I learned more about litigation, evidence, judges and juries, court room protocol, strategies and tactics and other ways of practicing law than most lawyers learn in a lifetime.

I learned much more than in law school and more than in twenty years of practicing law, more than most lawyers learn in a lifetime. Their children were not kidnapped. All that I learned now inures to the benefit of my clients.
