Personal Injury Lawyers

If this review prevents just 1 person from using this law firm, I have done my job. I wish I could give ZERO stars. Cobbett and Cotten was hired to do the conveyance for the purchaser of property we sold. During the conveyance Cobbett and cotton was responsible to inform the purchaser of What easements or other charges are registered against the property? Researching the title, and property and advising if the purchaser get title insurance or a survey certificate etc. This is all stated on cobbett and Cottens web site. Almost 2 years after the sale had completed we were served with papers from Cobbet and Cotten on behalf of the buyer due to the property being not accurate as to what we sold. This dragged on for 1.5 years, all the while we claimed our innocence. Because of the costs of hiring a lawyer, We chose to represent ourself. Thats right, two people with no post secondary education at all, going up against a law firm. During the 1.5 years prior to trial I met with the purchaser and lawyers several times and explained they need to drop this, and that they have no chance in winning. I even proclaimed out loud to them that the law firm must be doing this “pro bono” because of an error they must have messed up on during the purchase. The law firm, nor the purchaser ever disclosed if the firm was working probono or not. However I did ask the purchaser in one meeting how much he was paying the law firm? and his response was "I better not be paying anything!" The fact of the matter is that it doesn't really matter all that much if they were working pro bono or not. The events that transpired during the course of time is proof enough to warn anyone to use this law firm for anything. Prior to the pre trial settlement conference, in the foyer, was the first time the purchaser met and talked to the lawyer. Not only was it their first time they met, but it seamed as though it was the first time they talked together about the issue at hand. At least it seamed that way because they didn't know what one another looked like, and the lawyer kept saying "I didn't know that" in the meeting. The lawyer also came ill prepared with no supporting documents. We almost had the issue thrown out right then. unfortunately, almost isn't good enough. There was a couple other meetings in front of a judge, and each time the lawyer was missing documents, or told the purchaser not to attend, when the judge said he had to. This resulted in a repeat meeting and a waste of our time. We also received documents from this law firm PAST the Due date set out by the judge to exchange by. We were never late, yet this Law firm was constantly late. The day before the trial, I received a call from a new lawyer from cobbett and cotton wishing to talk about the case. I didn't wish to talk about it with him, but I found out that he would be taking it over and he was only a student. when I asked why he was taking it over, his response was " I guess I get the cases know body else wants" Sure enough, At trial, the purchaser was represented by a student who was unsure of himself, and at one time, held up a ruler he cut out of paper that he tried to explain to the judge was an actual measuring tool that can be used on a site survey! Thats right, this claim went to full trial….The result...THEY LOST! A couple with no secondary education won. We beat this Law firm! Don't take this as a "victory dance review" although it is kinda a david and goliath type of ending. Clearly this law firm doesn't care about its customers. The amount of money the purchaser must have paid Cobbet and Cotton for this crappy service would be appalling. the firm should have advised him that he didn't have a case to begin with. They knew they didn't have a case. and they wasted their clients money and our time. They are completely incompetent. Do not use for a conveyance or any legal matter.

Top notch lawyer.

Excellent counsel

I went to Jim for my case. He was really caring and made sure to get the most out of the negotiation with the insurance company. Didn't hold it for much long. And comparing to other cases that I have seen, I got much more. Really satisfied!

Etienne Orr-Ewing is an exceptional Personal Injury Lawyer who genuinely cares about his clients. He and his staff provided valuable service and legal expertise in my personal injury case. He carefully explained the entire legal process, including timelines and expectations, and always gave me his time and full attention when I called. Above all, he showed true concern for my health and well-being following the accident. Etienne went to bat for me and fought for the settlement amount I deserved. I’m both pleased and fortunate to have had Etienne as my Lawyer. I highly recommend him and the Law Firm of McComb, Witten, and Marcoux for anyone seeking expert legal advice/representation for their personal injury case.

We were extremely happy with the service Hollis Lucky provided. He did an excellent job on our behalf. He also obtained a very good resolution to the case in court. He was always available to discuss the case and provided many helpful suggestions and proposals during the process. This helped to reduce the stress and anxiety on our side. He also found a way to get his costs paid through the court system. Which I think meant he received less than if he had billed us directly. This shows that he really does put his clients first. I would certainly strongly recommend other people to use him.

Discussed by phone only with Rob McLennan a situation I have with a contractor and small claims court. Mr. McLennan was extremely helpful and assured me I handled my situation correctly. Should I find that I need legal representation regarding my situation I would definitely use Mr. McLennan as he was thoughtful helpful and knowledgeable.

I was injured in a bicycle accident following a collision with a vehicle. After failing to reach a settlement on my own with ICBC, I began to seek out legal help. After talking to several firms by phone, it did not look promising until I got in touch with Pettit and Company. I was invited to visit their office and present to them, records from the scene of the accident. After reviewing the details, Tim assured me that I had good grounds to pursue a better settlement. He and his team crafted a well written proposal which effectively placed the totality of fault on the vehicle’s driver. After further negotiations, a new settlement followed - one which was more proportional to the facts. I will certainly keep Tim and his team in mind, should I ever require their assistance again.
