Above and beyond

David went out of his way to help me with an unemployment appeal board claim . He went above and beyond and was extremely knowledgeable about the law . I would recommend David to anyone who may have a case

Unpaid Wages

I retained Mr. Wims services and was very satisfied with his work. Initially, I went in concerned about one problem and he found additional wrong doings my previous employer had committed. I was explained in detail how I was being treated unfairly not getting paid all the wages I was really suppo...sed to be getting. Long story short, within a couple of months I was given some papers to sign and had my employer pay me the unpaid wages that I was required to be compensated for. After so many cold nights working outside, I am glad I came to see Mr. Wims. If it weren't for him my employer would still be stealing from its employees and underpaying its staff. He was very professional, courteous, funny, and very attentive to my case. I always had direct contact with him via email or phone. He always answered my phone calls and had updates about my case. I would definitely recommend him to everyone.

Retail Manager Employment Separation

David Wims is an expert advocate in employment law! I sought his assistance to understand my separation agreement and severance from a large Retail Company. David was knowledgeable and attentive to my situation. He provided timely feedback and results during a difficult time. Without his help I woul...d've been lost between the legal jargon in the separation agreement and the fair advocacy for increased funds, David and his team are true winners!

A satisfactory outcome

Took my case on spec; worked with me to reach a conclusion; stayed in touch and returned calls and emails promptly. Would recommend unhesitatingly.

A True Advocate

I had the good fortune of having David Wims represent me this past year. He proved to be calm, thorough and a true advocate for me and my cause. In addition to his professional bravura, Mr. WIms demonstrated empathy and decorum throughout our dealings. I would be happy to recommend him to friends ...and colleagues (as I already have).
