  • My personal experience in dealing with Alison at the firm was outstanding. She was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had in dealing with the insurance company. Alison was always upfront and honest with me about the results we were able to obtain. She worked hard for me and was very aggressive and no nonsense during our mediation meeting. My Ltd carrier made an strong effort to minimize the benifits I was entitled to, but Alison was having none of that. She got the results we were hoping for.

Overall, I would score them 10/10 and would not think of using anyone else if in need. Would recommend this to anyone looking for amazing representation. Thank you, all your hard work was certainly worth it.

  • I was desperately trying to find a new lawyer as my lawyer from another firm abandoned me only a few weeks before my 2nd knee operation due to an accident. It was Colleen Burns herself who answered my telephone call. She did not rush me but listened patiently as I was in a turmoil. My ordeal started in September 2013 and we were now in October 2017. Throughout the years, there were a few bumpy moments but Colleen is super patient and realistic about cases and what one can expect. Finally on February 7th there was a settlement. After all that time, I can finally put that awful time behind me. So thank you Colleen and your team for having supported me through that miserable experience and come out of it as a winner.
