I couldnt be happier with Etienne Orr-Ewing as my lawyer and I am so happy I chose him. Anyone whos been involved in an accident and has been injured knows how an accident not only affects you physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. Whenever I had a concern or question, Etienne and his team were always available and his focus was on me getting better and he would take care of whatever needed to be done in that regard. For example, if I needed additional treatment sessions, Etienne always made sure I got what I needed. Etienne listens, understands and is genuinely concerned about

I cannot recommend Etienne Orr-Ewing and his team enough. Etienne took on my case against ICBC and did a magnificent job. I was in a dark stage of my life after the accident and Etienne and his paralegal Sophia did everything to help me navigate the incredibly difficult task of dealing with ICBC. He took care of me and made sure I got funding for treatment to help deal with the mental and physical issues I was struggling with. While I do not wish an accident or injury to happen to anyone, if something like that happens to you, Etienne Orr-Ewing and his team at Collins Peterson LLP will be there

Etienne was my lawyer for a MVA personal injury claim and him, and his paralegal Sophia, were both very professional and amazing to work with. Throughout the entire process, they were very thorough but made it as painless as possible. All of my questions were answered promptly and Etienne ensured that I always understood what was happening. He checked in frequenty to see how my recovery going and helped refer me to specialists that really made a difference. In the end, he helped me get the settlement I deserved and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal advice after a MVA.
