About Russel
Russ graduated from the University of Windsor, Faculty of Law in 1988 and has been practicing in Ottawa ever since. After his call to the bar in 1990 he has worked for both small and medium sized firms and has developed a considerable practice in the areas of personal injury, medical malpractice and civil litigation.
Russ has appeared at both trial and appellate level courts in Ontario as well as various administrative bodies such as the Ontario Human Rights Commission, Coroner’s Inquests, the Aviation Appeals Tribunal and the Employment Insurance Appeals Tribunal.
Most of the litigation matters that Russ has worked on have been high profile cases including wrongful death actions, cases against the City of Ottawa and OC Transpo and is presently representing clients in the class action against General Motors relating to the defective ignition switch.
In his off time Russ likes to act and has been involved in community theatre in Ottawa, the Lawyers Play at the Great Canadian Theatre Company and has also acted in movies and commercials. He decided to become a lawyer so he could have a captive audience when making court appearances.
Despite warnings from Russ’ family law clients Russ has been married to his beautiful wife since 1992. They have three fantastic kids who are the apple of his eye. All three children ensure that he could never get a swelled head.

Cases
Shaw, by her Litigation Guardian v. Barber Estate
Shaw was a common law spouse of Barber for more than 20 years at the time Barber died. He left a will leaving the entire estate to his son, Barber Jr. After a capacity assessment was conducted, Shaw was found to be incapable of managing property because of developmental delays and cognitive limitations. The Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee (OPGT) was appointed to be her Guardian of Property under the Substitute Decisions Act and commenced an investigation in to her assets and any rights she might have. An application was issued to make a dependants claim on August 5, 2016, roughly 2 years after Barber Sr. died. Barber Jr. brought a motion to dismiss the application because it was brought outside the limitation period set out in the Succession Law Reform Act (6 months from the date of death). The court found that the appointment of the OPGT does not automatically trigger the running of a limitation period for someone who would otherwise be unable to instruct counsel. To do so would put disabled individuals at a disadvantage that would be impossible to overcome.
