Dear Ross and Murray, this thank you is long overdue…read more I owe you a great deal of gratitude and appreciation. I am writing to thank you for the overwhelming support you provided and exceptional work you did for me during my personal injury ICBC claim. No doubt, you remember the seriousness of this car accident - it was a miracle everyone involved survived. My severe injuries meant that I could no longer continue schooling for my chosen field. Due to your quick thinking, dedication, and meticulous efforts, not only was I able to immediately change areas of study and finish school on schedule, but your support and guidance also helped me to choose a new career direction - a new career that I truly enjoy to this day. The trial was especially stressful for someone at my young age, however your explanation of the trial processes and advice were especially helpful and comforting during those times. For my case with your guidance, going to trial was the right thing to do and we were able to achieve favourable results. Once again, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support through this tremendously challenging time for me and my family. Thanks to you, I was able to focus on healing and rehabilitation while you both looked after all my current and future needs along with the tough demands of the case. I could not have asked for two better people to be by my side during this extremely difficult time.

Michelle Kooy was my family lawyer for almost a year. Her work was adequate at times, and…read moredefinitely subpar and disorganized at times. There were several problems with her legal work and subsequent lawyers have highlighted some of the inadequacies. For instance, she suggested I contact a financial analyst that she works with regarding a simple question, one that many firms would be able to deal with in-house. I agreed and Michelle was supposed to send the analyst a small number of files for this meeting. I had a meeting with the analyst and was perplexed by the information she had. At the end of the meeting we realized that Michelle had sent her incorrect files, files that were completely out of date. One example of many wasted billed hours. As middling as Michelle's legal work was, it was still far better than the work of associates Sonia Kainth and Shelina Sayani. Sonia was my lawyer for a short period of time and her work was really deplorable. The reason for this became evident soon after, she quit to take a partner position at opposing counsel after a couple of months. It's extremely questionable that she decided to take me on as a client. Sonia referred me to Shelina Sayani. Shelina's "work" was incredibly unprofessional from the outset and only got worse over time. After terminating Shelina, Michelle represented me. Michelle made some very serious accusations about Shelina's conduct, which are very well documented. And then several months after that Michelle decided to hire Shelina. Billable hours trump ethics. Nobody at this firm has any business pretending to practice collaborative family law.

Spent 2 years with Virgin Hickman until my lawyer KL went on maternity leave (which was undisclosed…read moreto me until 4 weeks before her leave) Unfortunately, we made absolutely no progress in my case during those 2 years. I paid my bills diligently (maybe $30,000?). As soon as KL went on maternity leave, I inquired for a senior lawyer - I was given 1 week by Mark Virgin to find new counsel or he would file an intention to withdraw. He did not even recommend an alternative counsel for me. I scrambled to find a new lawyer and we sent the request for my file transfer. After nearly 2 weeks and several emails to various staff members (MR, BB, KM, CH) requesting my file to be transferred, I received this email today from my new counsel. "We've just received your file from your former counsel. It has been sent somewhat in the form of a "document dump," meaning they have sent a zip folder with hundreds of documents not organized in any particular fashion. It will take some time to organize these and save them all to our file. I will wait to review the documents until they are organized, as it will take less time that way, so this process will likely not start until next week." Do NOT waste your time or money with this firm.

Sure, he's a lawyer, and I'm sure there's many a yelper who is slapping their knee silly with all of the lawyer related jokes running through their heads, but you know what? This guy doesn't mess around. When I was in a car accident a number of years ago, Mark represented me. The case took 3 years to settle. That's 3 years of lawyer visits and never once did I feel like he or his team were "in it for the money." At the same time, I felt like every step of the way, they were looking out for my best interest, carefully explaining what was happening so I wouldn't get lost in all of the legal mumbo-jumbo. There's a reason why, in the time that I have known Mark, his team has expanded to 16 lawyers. They're awesome at what they do... plus they have a nespresso machine which makes visits all the more sweet. I'm glad my case never made it to court, but I have a feeling he would've been a pitbul, defending my side til the end, which is good when you're going up against some big corporate guns.

Great customer service, now I see why they have such great reviews here:). I was very disappointed in the way my case was handled with Winright. I contacted them initially on a Saturday via Yelp and followed up Monday. The friendly receptionist asked me to send in the paper work for the law team to review if they could help me. As time was of the essence, I quickly responded and sent in what they requested Monday. I followed up with an email Tuesday and when I did not hear back nearing the end of that day I phoned to enquire when I could set up an appointment. I was saddened to hear that the firm is too busy with other cases and they could not forsee a time when they could discuss my case with me. This exercise unfortunately cost me precious time in receiving an opinion on a time limited case. I am extremely disappointed they did not inform me from the beginning that they didn't have the time to meet with me (for 30 min!) to give an opinion. I wish I was posting another 5 star review after using their services, but my experience with them was anything but.
