“We had the good fortune of having Darcy work with us at Wolfe Lawyers between 2018-2020. He was responsible for running our Peterborough, Ontario office and was a tremendous asset to our firm. He handled his own cases while assisting senior counsel on their matters. In November 2019 Darcy assisted in the preparation and presentation of a personal injury action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Peterborough drafting factums and examining witnesses as junior counsel. His hard work helped our client achieve a court award over five times what the Plaintiff’s formal offer to settle was. His knowledge of the law and empathy towards his clients makes him an excellent lawyer who clients can have total trust in.” Bill Wolfe, Lawyer, Toronto, ON
