Commencing a legal claim can feel like climbing a mountain. Pictured above is a mountain near Revelstoke called Mount Begbie named after Sir Matthew Baillie Begbie who was the first Chief Justice of the Crown Colony of British Columbia and Province of British Columbia. Like our legal system, a mountain may be majestic, but can also be dangerous and intimidating. Like a guide, we walk you through the legal steps to a negotiated settlement. Most cases settle without going to trial, but if a trial is necessary, we have the experience to deal with trials and appeals.
