Personal injury testimonial

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

Dear Jamie,

Thank you for all you have done for my mother Yvonne. When my sister and I came to you just a few days after my mother’s accident we knew we had found the right person to help us with our mother’s accident. As you will remember when we came to you, our mother was in the ICU and the prognosis wasn’t good. She had just been involved in a horrific car accident and the injuries were mounting. A brain injury, broken back, broken arm, broken pelvis, broken breastbone, broken ribs, punctured lungs, and had many many other internal and external injuries. Her life was still in the balance and we didn’t know what to do or where to go.

Not only did you help us get started on all the legal work that would need to be done, but you provided unending support and encouragement. Probably the biggest thing that still floors me to this day is how you became involved in my mother’s whole situation. Our expectations were that you would deal with her litigation and the legal proceedings, and yet you handled so much more for us. From dealing with the social workers at the hospital, to helping us fill out government forms and documents, to single handedly dealing with my mom’s very unhelpful benefits provider. We will never be able to thank you enough for being available at all times of the day, on any day of the week and even while dealing with personal emergencies in your own life! And of course, in the end you were able to produce the result you had told us in the beginning you felt was possible. This for me is everything. I know that your integrity is above reproach and your promises were real, never did you set unreasonable expectations or make promises just to get our business. We remember you and your family and your firm in our prayers.

Please feel free to provide this letter to any of your current or future clients and should you ever need anything of us, please contact me. It was a pleasure to have worked with you over the 3 years this whole ordeal took and am proud to consider you a friend of our family, as you have truly impacted each and every one of us. All the best to you and your family, and we wish you continued success to Cuming Gillespie & Raymaker.

Sincere Regards,

Tyrone Tait

Medical malpractice testimonial

Wednesday, March 8th, 2006

To Whom It May Concern:

I was rendered a quadriplegic on February 1, 2000 as a result of an undiagnosed abscess in my spine. While I was in the Foothills Hostpital, a friend of mine hired a lawyer in order for me to sue the doctors at Peter Lougheed Hospital for malpractice as a result of failing to consider the possibility of infection. Three years into the case, my first lawyer phoned me and said he felt I couldn’t win the case against the doctors and for me to find a new lawyer or drop the case. I didn’t want to drop the case because I felt my injury arose as a result of malpractice. I found Bill McNally through the yellow pages and explained my situation. He was interested and said he would take a look at it.

A couple of months went by while he investigated my case, then he phoned me and said he would take the case. He sent me to a number of doctors, specialists and started the discoveries against the doctors he felt were most liable. When that was finished, he set up a court date to proceed with the lawsuit.

One day before the trial date the lawyers for the doctors called and made an offer. Bill McNally asked if I would settle outside of court. I accepted the offer. Bill McNally helped invest my settlement so it would last me for my lifetime.

I now live in my own house that has been modified to accomodate my disability. I have good nursing care and a van that has been modified for my wheelchair. I enjoy every day.

Without Bill McNally, I’m sure this case would have gone nowhere. I can’t thank him enough for his effort and hard work.
