Too clique with the town lawyer. Got fobbed off after life altering fall due to poor snow removal in burlington. Took half of the paltry settlement that didn't even cover two years of dog walking. Forget about physio. Paid for physio myself. Little communication before and during from anyone in office. Sorry there wasn't enough money in it for Paul. He certainly got enough from my aunt. The final straw was him taking $10,000 dollars, which he claimed was to be refunded to Ontario health insurance. I've never heard of this. Family members have had hip replacements and such and never had to give money back to OHIP.

Hi Susan,
First, thank-you for your constructive feedback. I still recall your case even though it settled over 8 years ago. I always strive to effectively communicate with my clients and so I sincerely apologize that I left you feeling that there was little communication from my office as that was not my intention or recollection.
Second, in terms of the settlement amount, the unfortunate reality is that litigation against municipalities for falls on ice in the winter is challenging even at the best of times. The settlement of a lawsuit often leaves both sides unhappy. As with all cases, I always want the most for my clients, however, there are sometimes limits on what is realistically possible in terms of outcomes. Thanks for reaching out.
All the best, Paul.
