I got into a motorcycle accident in 2016, and ever since I found Thomson Rogers they permanently changed my life. My lawyer was Carr Hatch, he was absolutely so patient with me dealing with my constant neediness and made sure my mind was at ease every step of the way. I can’t emphasize the amount of gratitude that I owe to the Thomson Rogers team, especially to Carr. Highly recommend. Hopefully I never have to see you guys again, but if something ever were to happen again, I know exactly where to go. Thanks again Guys!!

I am in the healthcare sector in the Barrie area and have worked closely with Carr Hatch on several case files over the years. I also have a family member who was in a bad accident and sent her to retain his legal services. He is the consummate legal professional who puts his client needs first. He is attentive, detailed, reassuring and will go to all lengths to help his clients achieve the results that are warranted and deserved. My aunt can’t thank him enough and I recommend him highly.

I am extremely grateful for the hard work Carr Hatch put into my case. Unfortunately for the first half of my case (with another lawyer) I wasn’t being properly represented. Everything was extremely sloppy and there was absolutely no progression whatsoever. I needed to focus on recovery and recovery ONLY. Which is why I decided to switch over to Thomson Rogers after doing some research. Being rated one of the top law firms in Canada, it was a no brainer for me. As soon as I was assigned to Mr. Hatch, my case starting going into the right direction shortly after. I have settled my case and I honestly could not be any happier with the results! That’s from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much Mr. Hatch and your lovely team for being so patient, sympathetic and understanding with me through one of the hardest times in my life. Without a doubt I would recommend Thomson Rogers and Carr Hatch to all my family and friends.

Thanks once again for you being you. You made a really terrible experience a pretty good one because of your personality. You did a really great job. I would highly recommend you. Thanks so much, Carr.
