The Words of Our Clients

We retained Chris Sinal to represent our company as we sought to resolve the time sensitive and complex issues regarding potential union certification. Chris is approachable and inspires confidence. He is incredibly well versed in his field and answered our questions and addressed our concerns promptly and accurately. He was impeccably prepared for all meetings and telephone conferences. During this stressful time, it was reassuring to know we had very competent and knowledgeable legal counsel. Chris also represented our company at a WSIB Appeal and once again provided top notch legal advice. Both issues were resolved in our favour thanks to the excellent representation Chris and his team provided. -K.M.

I cannot thank you enough for what you [Chris Collins] and Charlene [Howlett] have done for me! I was so wary and anxious about beginning the legal process, but you and Charlene expertly guided me through it all, every step of the way. Charlene’s timely, patient responses and quick results when dealing with my own insurance company were all truly amazing. Words cannot express how much I appreciate your kindness, thoughtfulness, patience and steady support when I felt so unsure and my head was spinning. The outcome was an amazing, surprise, surpassing my hopes. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect. From the bottom of my heart I thank you so very much! - C.E.
