My Experience

My clients are people and small businesses who need help recovering their harms and losses from an injury or who are facing a tough dispute with insurance companies and large institutions.  I work with clients to help them recover from catastrophic injuries. I am retained to help people navigate the challenging medical and legal recovery process so they can focus on getting better. I also work with small businesses and individuals who need an advocate to help them resolve complex disputes so they can get back to focusing on their business.

I have been counsel at trial in a variety of cases involving complex injuries and liability issues in the Supreme Court of BC and have served as counsel in the BC Court of Appeal.  I also work as a consultant to other lawyers for complex personal injury liability and damages cases.

I am often called on to work with doctors and clinicians teaching them about their role in helping patients recover in the medical-legal process. I’ve lectured at Anesthesiology Rounds at RJH, Neuropsychology Rounds at VGH, Psychiatry Rounds at Vancouver General Hospital, UBC Faculty of Medicine Practice Survival Skills, the Seymour Medical Centre, the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists BC, Victoria Royal Jubilee Hospital, The Canadian Society of Medical Evaluators, Chuck Jung and Associates Psychologists, CORE Medical Centre: Medical Legal Toolkit, and at the International Symposium on Life Care Planning. I am also a coach for the University of Victoria BC Law Schools Moot team.

I’m a member of the Law Society of British Columbia, a member of the Executive of the Board of Governors of the Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia, a member of the American Association for Justice, and a member of the Canadian Bar Association.
