Thank you very kindly Mr. Gillis and Team, you were absolutely wonderful in expediting my claim and QUICKLY bringing me the settlement I deserved. As an out-of-province single mum, it was very important for us to select a lawyer with a solid long standing reputation in the area. Its our belief that settlement was reached instead of a lawn drawn out legal pursuit through the courts. I also wish to thank Melissa Gillis for her quick follow up and kindness.

John respected me and my interests as number 1. I felt professionally and personally like an A liar client. Johns team was very professional and did anything that popped up during the process of our business together. I would recommend John not just on professional credentials and experience but as a good and fair man whos opinion and expertise overlaps many concerns.
