I am extremely pleased with my experience with James Fireman. I was having major anxiety while dealing with the insurance company and James took charge and dealt with them for me. I will always be grateful to him for helping me win my case.

I've heard the Employment Law Show on CFRA for some time. When I required the skills of an Employment Lawyer it was a no-brainer that I would call Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. I was INSTANTLY confident with their legal knowledge and passion. The final agreement had many times greater severance than my employer's original offer.
