Questions & Answers
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
I represented a young lady who was involved in a very unfortunate swimming incident whereby she suffered catastrophic injuries. I was able to collect enough settlement monies for her to ensure that she receives all of the medical and attendant care she requires over her lifetime.
How did you build a successful practice?
Hard work, smart marketing, sound business strategy, perseverance and making sure I knew everything I could about my particular area of practice - personal injury law.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
Experience, trustworthiness and attention to detail. Experience, is particularly important in the field of personal injury given that it is a very complex area of law. If you choose a lawyer who is not experienced or only "dabbles" in the area, you will not get the best results possible.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?
It is very important. If you know the local judges, you will know how to better prepare for a case before appearing in front of them. On top of this, if you have an established and credible reputation, this will definitely help in your settlement negotiations with the local lawyers and insurance adjusters.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
I can provide helpful information, but it is of a general nature only. I cannot give specific legal advice but I can certainly point people in the right direction.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?
I need to know who the person is, what type of claim they may have, when an incident occurred, where an incident occurred and what sort of legal assistance they are looking for.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
I love dealing with my clients and I take a real hands-on approach to my practice. I enjoy the personal touch, and I believe this ultimately helps me better understand my clients and their case. This leads to better results for each case.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
Helping people. Knowing that I have made a difference by achieving success with their claim.
What are your other interests in addition to law?
I love spending time with my friends and family. Typically we will spend a lot of time at our cottage since my family loves the outdoors and all of the activities that go along with it. I also enjoy playing baseball, hockey and basketball.
Are you involved in your community?
Yes. I help support the local food banks, libraries and minor hockey teams.
