She put a lot of work and effort into this file and she provided excellent client service. She exudes a quiet confidence and in my view, she has very good litigation instincts

"Bryan went above and beyond to ensure we were informed and included in all decisions and next steps. When complications arose, in particular with an unusual laneway on the farmland that was being sold, Bryan quickly problem solved to find a resolution. He consulted with others to seek their opinions as to how to proceed and put an action plan in place to ensure that the closing of the property would remain on schedule. "

"That was easy."

I have had the great pleasure of being represented, as the plaintiff, by Peter in a lawsuit culminating in an arduous six week out-of-town trial. It was a complicated multi-million dollar lawsuit against a large US Corporation. Essentially, it was a David versus Goliath endeavour. With Peter’s skills and stewardship, we prevailed.

Peter’s in depth knowledge of the file, command of the issues and experienced decorum in the courtroom were invaluable and readily apparent as well as a great source of comfort during such a stressful time.

Hopefully, I will not encounter such a conflict again but, if I did, Peter would be the first call. It is difficult to put in writing the extreme value of being represented by someone of Peter’s caliber including his dedication, intelligence, stamina and extensive “in court” experience. I believe one must view legal expenses as an investment from a cost-benefit perspective. I have no doubt that hiring Peter is one of the very best investments I have ever made.
