With a contingency fee structure, you don’t pay anything unless you recover compensation for your damages. Our fee will consist of a percentage of your settlement. In addition, we lay out all legal costs throughout the case, allowing you to put your financial resources to medical bills and rehabilitation.

Editorial: A question of justice
“Not only must justice be done; it must also be seen to be done.” It’s an adage that’s taken on a new meaning in Atlantic Canada when it comes to the composition of provincial Supreme Courts.
