I had the pleasure of working with Dan on a construction dispute that was giving me sleepless nights. Let me tell you, Dan's reputation as a trial lawyer is well-deserved. From our first meeting at his office near the Vancouver Art Gallery, I knew I was in good hands. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the Builders Lien Act, which was the crux of our case. What impressed me the most was how he managed to simplify the complex legal jargon so I could understand exactly what was at stake.

Dan didn't just sit behind his desk all day; he was actively involved in every step of the process. He visited the construction site in Burnaby to get a firsthand look at the issues we were facing. This hands-on approach made all the difference. His ability to strategize and his foresight in anticipating the opposition's moves were nothing short of remarkable.

But it wasn't just his legal acumen that stood out. Dan's commitment to ensuring open communication throughout our case made a potentially stressful experience much more manageable. He was always available to answer my calls, even if it was just to reassure me that everything was on track.
