Trusted advice.

Trust has many different meanings to David’s clients.

Frequently cited as a leading Canadian lawyer for trust and estate matters, David delivers consistent, reliable advice to a wide range of private clients’. He has been practicing law for 50 years and follows his father’s advice that “it’s better to burn out than rust out!”
