As a Certified Specialist in Civil Litigation with The Law Society of Upper Canada, I have over 22 years experience in defending the rights of injured people. I have an excellent track record as a trial lawyer and a reputation for winning those cases that get to court, including in the Superior Court of Justice and the Court of Appeal.

My personal injury law firm also exists to serve the wider community, where we support several charities and non-profit organizations. I am chair of Walk with Me Canada.  I put my sports obsession to good use by coaching University Women's basketball.
