RE: RETIREMENT NOTICE
Dear valued Clients,
After 35 years, it is with mixed emotions that I share my intention to retire and close my office effective October 1st, 2025. I want to express my sincere appreciation for trusting me with your Corporate, Real Estate, and Estate planning over this time.
As of October 1st, you will not be able to retain me for any future legal matters. Our office intends to complete, or bring as close to completion as possible, any current files. Should you have any questions regarding this process, please don’t hesitate to call or email our office.
It is important that you understand your rights as my clients. Moving forward, I have arranged to transfer all current and past Corporate and Estate files, to Dan Clarke of Lowes, Salmon, Gadbois, and Clarke, with offices at 500 Dutton Drive, Waterloo. I will require a written direction signed by any client allowing me to transfer their file(s) to Dan. A copy of this Consent can be found here.
Dan Clarke was called to the bar in 2017 and has almost a decade of experience in Corporate Law, Real Estate, and Estate Planning and I have found Dan to be down-to-earth in his approach to the practice of law. I trust that Dan will do an exceptional job moving forward and I have every confidence in his abilities as a lawyer. Should you wish to speak with Dan, or, have further questions for Dan and his team, I encourage you to visit his website here or, call his office at 519-884-0800.
Alternately, you can indicate to me that you wish to have your original file. In that case, you can pick up your file(s) at my office at any time. Please advise me if you wish to pick up your file by no later than August 31st, 2025. This will ensure I have adequate time to prepare your file for you to pick up.
My contact information until September 30, 2025 will continue to be 519-725-2929 following which time I can be reached at; jlevesque@kwlegal.com.
Once again, thank you for your support. Should you have any questions or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact my office.
Yours very truly,
John P. Levesque Professional Corporation
