I was recently severed by my employer after over three and a half decades of dedicated service. The…read moreseverance package the company offered was nowhere near what I was entitled to by law. I responded to them but there was little change. A former peer of mine suggested I engage Barry Clapp Calgary Employment Lawyers as they had used Barry's services and were very happy with them. We engaged Barry and he was professional, personable, and very experienced. He carefully reviewed all the documents and communications and came back to us with recommendations for further negotiations. Several of these were things we would not have even considered or have known to ask for. Being a senior executive, I wanted to do the negotiation myself and Barry, not only agreed to this approach but provided some very valuable coaching to a very successful conclusion. I would highly recommend anyone requiring an Employment Lawyer in Alberta to contact Barry Clapp Calgary Employment Lawyers. Top quality service from a very experienced lawyer at a very reasonable price.

Barry Clapp is the consummate legal professional both in terms of his expertise in employment law…read moreand his working with the client. Never have I had a lawyer be so thorough and thoughtful with explaining the legal situation, options and potential outcomes. For me, this made a very difficult and stressful time easier to bear and seeing the path forward. He is always prepared prior to any discussion and his legal responses to the employer are extremely well researched, thought out and thorough. At all stages he engages and provides solid advice AND lets you keep control. If you have had other recommendations when looking for "the best" employment lawyer, I strongly advise you to speak with Barry because I can't see how there could be someone better.

The lawyer even did not know how to prepare and serve constitutional question to the Attorney General while one of the owners of the law firm is a former Minister of Justice and Attorney Genenral. In stead, the lawyer served Contitutional Question to a deputy minister of justice that had substantially negatively impacted my appeal. The counsel for the Attorney General argued that they were not served the document in a timely and proper manner. As a result of my lawyer's mistake, my appeal had to be ajourned from spring to fall because of the court's summer break. When returned back to the court several months later, it was apparent that my lawyer either forgot the material submitted months ago or not fully prepared for the day of appeal hearing. He was not a client-focused and result-oriented lawyer in my case.
