Solid, Unwavering Advocacy

I have a proven track record of negotiating significant monetary awards for injured plaintiffs without the necessity of a trial. But when negotiation doesn’t get the results you deserve, I have the trial experience to serve my clients. I have conducted trials in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, and I have appeared before the Ontario Court of Appeal.

To be a strong lawyer, you have to be the right mix of negotiator, sounding board, cheerleader, and dedicated advocate. I bring solid, unwavering support to every case.

Not only am I working towards a successful result for you, but I also promise to guide, advise and encourage you on your journey towards healing and future care.

Choosing what’s right for you

I think the most important thing about choosing a lawyer is finding someone you have a connection with. This is a difficult time, and you need someone you can trust to keep your well-being at the forefront.

I tell my clients to concentrate on their rehab and therapy — that’s where you need to focus your energy. I’ll focus on your case and work hard for you.

You deserve a chance

I once helped a young man get the financial security he needed to afford the care and treatment required after a life-changing accident.

He made one bad decision and ended up with a head injury. Even though liability was a concern, we pushed through and got positive results.

No matter the obstacles that we may encounter, I will work to get you the outcome you deserve.
