All hope had been lost as my two previous lawyers did absolutely nothing to assist me in any way and ended up just spinning my head in different directions. Then I was given a ray of hope as I was referred to TR Law. I did not know of Thomson Rogers prior to my referral and did not know what to expect. What I did receive was the absolute and ultimately the most help I could have hoped for. TR is diligent in finding and getting the help YOU NEED TO WIN YOUR CASE. They are all in when it comes to helping and everyone who’s working on your file will definitely give you their best. I had Mr. Daniel Klein working on my claim from the very beginning and Mr. Klein was absolutely tops in all the background checking and researching and finding the clinics that helped me win my claim. Also, kudos to Mr. Robert Ben who handled the mediation and hearing and would not be intimidated by the insurance companies staunch in your face no way you win this claim attitude. Also, I have to mention Ms. Diane Bregg who answered all of my questions and assured me time and time again I was in very good hands. Ms. Bregg, you were and are absolutely 100% plus correct. IF YOU NEED QUALITY LEGAL HELP THAT WON’T LET YOU DOWN, CHOOSE TR LAW. Thomson Rogers did more than I could have expected and battled tough all the way through and never wavered, never caved. If not for Mr. Klein, Mr. Ben and Ms. Bregg’s constant help, I’d either still be battling or have done exactly what the insurance company wanted and that would be to give up. Thanks to all at the TR legal team. Thomson Rogers will fight for your rights.

2 1/2 years of exceptional ‘customer service’ from the moment David MacDonald at Thomson Rogers took over my case. I was not ‘just a file or a number’, I was very much a ‘person’, being taken care of and helped along my rehabilitation journey after suffering a Traumatic Brain Injury in a motorcycle accident. Whatever and whoever I needed to get better was promptly put in place, up and running with incredible service providers. Diane Bregg was amazing! My TBI caused incredible anxiety and she was patient yet thorough, explaining everything to me along the way, clarifying any questions I had. Robert Ben provided incredible support during my Examination for Discovery. Thomson Rogers provided me the BEST legal team led by David MacDonald. I will forever be grateful as a year and half later I can afford the people I need as I continue my recovery journey. David, Diane and Robert worked WITH me as opposed to for me and I couldn’t have asked for a better team!

It has been just over 5 years since my accident. David MacDonald and his team that included Robert Ben, Diane Bregg and the rest of Thomson Rogers assistants are beyond competent. They are a compassionate team that fight tooth and nail against the insurance companies to get you the best possible settlement without deepening their pockets and taking from yours. I can honestly say that I made the best decision one year after my accident to dismiss my original lawyer and hire David Macdonald. I was so unhappy with my previous lawyer due to the fact that she was making me feel unjust in my needs and increased my level of depression and lack of purpose. My neuropsychologist suggested that I might want to consider changing lawyers based on the unneeded mental anguish that my previous lawyer was adding to my life especially when the accident wasn’t my fault. When I interviewed three lawyers, my comfort and decision was made in choosing David MacDonald at Thomson Rogers. He has won several awards for civil litigations because he knows what he is doing and is extremely good at what he does. David, Robert or Diane would call me within hours to at most a day to answer any of my questions. They would help clarify and repeat information in layman’s terms for me to understand. I can’t say enough about David Macdonald and Robert Ben. It has been a long and hard road to get to a settlement but I can assure you that you are in very good hands. I highly recommend this team if you need legal counsel for a civil litigation case.

Dear Mr. MacDonald:

I am writing to let you know how appreciative I am with the way you handled, represented and supported my husband and our family, especially with respect to obtaining accident benefits from our insurance company.

I found you and your law clerk Diane Bregg very approachable. Both of you answered my calls and emails promptly. The language and culture barriers and so many uncertainties were addressed by your clear explanations, thoughtful suggestions and your expertise in dealing with insurance companies.

I understand my husband has a long way to go but I am very pleased to have been able to help him by retaining you, the very best lawyer, as his legal representative! No doubt your talent in dealing with brain injury victims and your determination to pursue the case will lead to a satisfactory settlement.

Dear Dave,

Mario and I would like to express our sincere thanks to you and the entire team for all you have done.

From the initial meeting at our home, we were confident that you had the knowledge, resources and compassion necessary to represent us. You always made yourself readily available and your advice, encouragement and support helped to guide us through our difficult and emotional journey. By your genuine interest, not only to our file but our lives, you’ve made us feel more like friends than clients.

While there were many people behind the scenes working on the file, Diane Bregg was incredible! Her proficiency and empathy made many a day easier! She was a pleasure to work with.

As we move forward, we appreciate your willingness to allow us to seek your counsel if necessary, and once again, we thank you for bringing our case to a successful conclusion.
