I obtained my law degree from the University of British Columbia in 1976 and was called to the Bar in 1977. I continued my legal career as in-house counsel with the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee of British Columbia, which is the part of the Ministry of the Attorney General that looks after the interests of minor children and people with developmental or cognitive challenges.
I act exclusively for plaintiffs in civil actions, and have successfully run cases in Provincial Court, Supreme Court, and the Court of Appeal. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and hiking, biking, and camping.

I highly recommend Brandon Souza. He gave me a free consult over the phone and was honest and candid about whether I had a legal case to pursue. In my case, I was advised that there would be no benefit in pursuing litigation due to the cost involved and what I would gain. Although I am not using Brandon's services at this time, I have bookmarked his web page for future reference.

Paul Bosco came as a recommendation from a friend who was a previous client of Murphy Battista. I’m happy to report that my experience was as equally awesome as my friends had been prior.
Paul is compassionate and realistic. He’s on your side for sure but definitely gave no false hope or unrealistic predictions. Paul was bang on with how things would proceed through the process and almost exactly spot on with the outcome. Thank you Paul.
His para-legal is lovely. She’s accessible, responsive and very informative. Deserving of a special shout out to end this very positive review. Thank you

We had a flooding in our building, everything about it is frustrating. In order to untangle the situation a bit better, we sourced help from this firm. Brandon Souza was very helpful. We hope we will never experience this kind of mess again, but if we do, we know who to talk to.

Brandon Souza is the best! He is very professional and knowledgeable. On top of that, he is very responsible for his communication and answered my inquiries with a respectful manner. (That made me feel so comfortable to rely on his advice.) Thank you Brandon and his assistant Nicole for all the support you gave me!

Thank you Stephen Gibson. We are grateful to Stephen Gibson and his team for representing and supporting us through the horrific ordeal of dealing with a terrible car accident created by a drunk driver while we were on a family holiday. Stephen was knowledgable, always available and so personable that even our children know him on a first name basis. If we or anyone we know ever need a lawyer again.for anything, he will be the one we call.

When the original lawyer (Thorsten Wessler) I had hired retired before my claim was settled, he worked to find me a replacement firm, and he chose Murphy Battista. The entire transition was very smooth between the two teams, and Kevin Gourlay, the lawyer who came in and had to get up to speed in a short time before my trial date, did a fabulous job. The whole team including Virginia were very responsive and helpful. I felt well prepared for every step of the legal process and was relieved to be able to avoid a trial and settle. In fact, one of my treatment providers made a point of telling me how

Brandon was the opposite of the stereotype many people have about personal injury lawyers. He was warm and genuine, reflecting honesty, integrity, and fairness throughout a complex process (navigating changes with ICBC when I could not get answers from my adjuster). I'm an extremely busy person, so it was such a relief when he took on the whole process himself. He was a great advocate and completely trustworthy. I felt safe in his hands from start to finish.
