TIPS FOR DEALING WITH SLATER VECCHIO
1 - contrary to what they may tell you, Part 7 benefits are guaranteed and ICBC will reimburse you for most out of pocket expenses EVEN IF YOU ARE LITIGATED. Ensure they submit your receipts.
2 - Avoid being railroaded into giving the lawyers 30 percent of your out of pocket expenses, as part of an "all in settlement" all in only benefits the law firm.
3 - If Slater Vecchio attempts to remove themselves as council of record, appeal the request and report them to the law society. A simple google search for "slater vecchio cherry picking" will bring up some interesting information.
4 - if slater vecchio does remove themselves, there are rules to protect you and your settlement, particularly if they have no real cause for withdrawing. Do not allow them to put a lien on your settlement, particularly if that lien is for an undisclosed amount. INSIST they return your ENTIRE file to you. As they are no longer your attorney of record, they have no legal right to hold your private information hostage, in order to strong arm a deal with your new lawyer.
Be cautious with the law firm you choose to represent you. Particularly those with only 5 star reviews.check back in a few days, even though this does not say anything directly negative about them, I betcha it disappears.
