It is not every man who has the ability to defend himself on his own. He cannot bring out the points in his own favour, or the weaknesses in the other side. He may be tongue tied or nervous, confused or wanting in intelligence. If justice is to be done he ought to have the help of someone to speak for him. And who better than a lawyer?
Pett v. Greyhound Racing Association Ltd. [1969], Q.B. 125, per Denning, M.R.
Conflict happens. One person finds another's actions distasteful. An employer and an employee find themselves unhappy with their employment situation. A borrower cannot repay a lender. Years of family disagreements build up before the blowup. From minor grievance to all-out war, conflict happens.
What happens next is up to those in conflict. Some walk away. Some pretend the problem never happened. Some resolve it quickly, perhaps even amiably. Sometimes we do this ourselves. Other times we need a little bit of help.
That is where I come in. I help my clients solve their disputes by using the wide range of tools that I have access to and am trained in. My clients hire me to do more than push paper or practice arcane arts before the law courts of Canada; they hire me to solve their problems with persistent advocacy in public and good counsel in their company. I am honoured by every person who retains my services, and I would appreciate the chance to help you resolve your conflicts efficiently and effectively.
I practice in a number of different fields and do not restrict my practice to one side or another (particularly in employment, mortgage, estate, or construction). These practice areas include, but are not limited to:
- Employment Litigation
- Estate Litigation
- Builders' Liens and Construction
- Municipal Corporations
- Contracts and Outstanding Debts
- Mortgages, Foreclosure, and Sale of Land
- Corporate, Director, Officer, Shareholder Liability
- Business and Partnership Litigation
- Other General Litigation
I apply a wide range of legal tools with which I am well versed to a broad perspective of a conflict to achieve an appropriate and beneficial settlement. Some of the tools which I use include:
- Good counsel regarding options and outcomes
- Negotiation with an opposing party
- Representation during mediation between parties
- Advocacy before private arbitration of a matter
- Application of the litigation process to achieve resolution
- Representation and advocacy before any level of Court
- Appellate processes
- Frequent, repeated review of outcomes and further advice
- Careful consideration of costs and benefits of potential outcomes
I would be honoured and grateful for the opportunity to help you resolve your conflicts with good counsel and zealous advocacy. If I can speak for you, in the words of the Honourable Master of the Rolls (as he then was), Lord A.T. Denning, please contact me.
