Cameron handled a family law matter for me. He did a excellent job. He was trustworthy and responsive. He took the time to make sure I understood everything and made sure we were both on the same page. He demonstrated a through knowledge of the law and kept me informed at every step of the way. He is a excellent negotiator and, when appropriate, and aggressive advocate. I am grateful I sought his advice.
First and foremost I found myself trusting Cameron more than any council I've ever retained. In divorce/maintenance proceedings, we all know that more attorney's than not will antagonize, aggravate, and provoke each side into escalating legal fees. Fortunately, I found it doesn't have to be that way. What was at one point a hostile and seemingly impossible situation, Cameron was able to negotiate and ultimately conciliate a fair settlement with the respondent and opposing council that was nothing short of rigid, ill-disposed, and spiteful. Cameron knows the law, what arguments will fly and the arguments that won't. He presents himself extremely well to the judge while at the same time flustering opposing council (several occasions). In the end, Cameron was the reason two people were able to get on with their lives with an agreed order. I highly recommend Cameron and certainly consider him a friend going forward.
