Patrick Gordon of Slater Vecchio failed to represe...

Patrick Gordon of Slater Vecchio failed to represent me fairly. I believe he never read my entire file and acted in bad faith. I was not in a healthy state of mind when he suggested I accept a low ball offer from ICBC. Depression and anxiety had their grip on me, and I was on pain medication for over a year.
1. The defendant was found 100% liable.
2. My employer was found guilty of harassment and unjust dismissal.
3. The arbiter suggested I leave the poisoned atmosphere that had developed in my workplace and I received a small award after 12 years of super annuated service. He said "your lawyer will love this case" because my public employer had shallow pockets.
4. I had mortgaged my house to the hilt to provide for my family during the lull in employment due to my injuries. I was living in an economically depleted town at the time and was forced to sell at a loss and move back to the city to secure employment.
5. Mr. Gordon of Slater Vecchio said he couldn't represent me because my new job paid me $20K more than the job I left and no jury would feel sorry for me.
6. Mr. Gordon of Slater Vecchio also stated that I was a fighter and no jury likes a fighter.
7. I was fighting for my human rights that are protected under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada! I subsequently dropped my claim to appease Mr. Gordon of Slater Vecchio.
8. Mr. Gordon of Slater Vecchio used scare tactics on me saying if I didn't accept the offer of settlement I would probably receive a smaller award if we were to proceed.

I should have fired his ass on the spot, but due to the mental duress I was under, I caved. I lost my home, my health, and my self respect. The real estate market exploded and I've been in the rental hole since. I'm 65 years old now, will have to work til I die, and all hopes of retiring comfortably have been extinguished thanks to the incompetence of Slater Vecchio and specifically, Patrick Gordon.
Please note I had to give this firm a one star rating so as to be able to post this reveiw.
