Seth Wheeldon initially agreed to help me with a police brutality/injury case, but after a full…read moreyear of communication, with no explanation, he said "you sound lovely, but I can't help you." Now I'm left desperately searching for representation. Throughout that year, I was under the impression that Seth was taking my situation seriously. We spoke several times by phone whenever I had questions, and he told me that while a conviction is helpful, it was not required for civil action. One year after my first contact, I left a message with an update. A week later he called me back and said, "you sound lovely, but I can't help you." I was not given an explanation, despite previously being told my case was viable. Had he declined at the beginning, I would have had far more time to find another lawyer. It is extremely difficult to find anyone willing to take on cases involving police misconduct, and the wasted year has made this even harder. I originally removed my first review because I felt embarrassed mentioning that I am a victim of police brutality. However, I now believe it is important for others to know my experience before choosing this firm. After I left the original review, Raj Bhogal contacted me. At first he spoke in a way that made me feel heard and important, then told me that although he would never tell me to remove my review, he was worried that my review might prevent someone from finding a law firm that "truly cares." This comment also made me feel pressured to delete it. Raj said the trial date was too close to the deadline to sue. I later learned that lawyers can still file and get extensions for such civil cases. I did not know I needed a retainer, and I was never told this during the year of communication. I have emails and phone records documenting our communications. In the end, I was left without support and a clear reason. I hope my experience helps others make an informed decision.

Norm is extremely knowledgeable about Alberta MVA law and an exceptional negotiator. They secured a settlement amount far beyond what I ever expected.

Mark Lawson Is my Hero…read more I was in an incredibly stressful situation for 5 months before I emailed Mark for the first time. I was in an incident involving a van and my bicycle where I would not admit liability for what the mans insurance company was demanding I pay, over $3000 dollars for damage to a van. which they promptly sent to collections, who in turn threatened to ruin my credit (I wont even go in to how outrageous this situation was for me). Before I contacted Mark I had messaged at least 11 different law offices, my insurance company, and other lawyers. Not one would help me, I imagine they can't leverage my situation to make it worth there time (they couldn't make money off my situation). Bicycles do not require insurance and I was not injured nor was my bicycle damaged at all (I still cant understand how his van was demolished by a BICYCLE that sustained no damage, let alone for 1/3rd the price of his entire vehicle.) Point is I was sick with stress it was affecting every relationship in my life, I have enough problems, this year has been awful. I could cope with everything else in my life fine but this situation really affected my mental health, I had no idea what to do or what options I had. The worst part in my mind was that I felt like this was some kind of extortion and I mean that because I was NEVER given a chance to tell my version of the events. AllState just demanded money from me using scare tactics by there collections agency 9Consolidated Recovery Systems) who lied to a point blank question "Can you ruin my credit if I don't know how to deal with this situation right away?" they said "Yes", I recorded that conversation by the way because yea they suck and totally lied. Mark was a busy guy but he listened to my story and responded right away to every one of my emails with solid advice every time. Each time giving me a new avenue to explore while I was trying to find a way to defend myself from this company. I was still stressed but over the course of 2 weeks and only a few emails to Mark about my situation and how things where progressing the last piece of advice that fixed it all was to call Equifax directly and ask them about the situation. I never thought of that, and I'm glad he said that because when I did Equifax told me almost word for word everything Mark had been telling me. Basically "Don't worry they cant ruin your credit until you have had a chance to say your side of the story, and to do that they will have to bring you to court so if they do you should be ready to defend yourself". That was all I needed to hear because all I wanted was to be able to say my side of the story, so id love to go to court if they decided to go that rout. That night I couldn't believe all the stress was going away, since then it was like a knot in my brain was released, I was able to have fun with my family again, I was a totally different person after that and it felt so good to be myself again. Mark didn't have to do what he did, he took the time to listen and talk to me when no one else would give me the time of day. He had nothing really to gain from helping me but he did anyway and for that he is truly my hero. The best I can do to repay him is post this review for him and when I find work again I'm going to get him something to say thank you, a fancy bottle of wine or something. I will never forget what he did. I'm not religious but I know the story of "The Good Samaritan" from the Bible. Mark Lawson you are the good Samaritan, Thank you. Sincerely, Gabriel Binette P.S. He said to contact him if they decide to take it to court. If that happens then I will.

It was a smooth transition right from the start and he knew exactly what he was doing. Prompt action was followed. I found Brad to be highly competent with the skills and experience to match. He reached a resolution with all parties involved and increased my settlement by 300%. My experience has taught me to do it right the first time. Call Brad. I can't thank him enough for what he has done for me and my family!

Mark Crossfield was referred to us by our bank when we were making updates to a mortgage and our title. We figured following the recommendation was better than cold calling someone out of the phone book (or more realistically Google as we don't have a phone book). It was easy to get a convenient appointment with Mark on short notice. He was well organized and prepared for our visit and explained things well using everyday terms and let us know what steps we'd need to take. He took the time to answer our questions and to ask us some good questions we hadn't thought of. The visit took just as long as he said it would and everything was taken care of in one shot. He even sent us a follow up email with tips that related to one of our questions. He was reasonable priced and what he charged us for was exactly as expected. As a first time mortgagee I was a little unsure what to expect and he put my mind at ease and delivered everything in a timely, hassle free fashion.
