Marsha has a range of litigation experience. She enjoys studying the law and being in the courtroom. Marsha will manage your file with a view to maximizing the chances of achieving a fair out-of-court settlement, at the same time gathering all of the evidence needed to take your matter to trial if that becomes necessary. Marsha has successfully run trials of varying complexity such as soft tissue injury cases like Strazza v. Ryder 2012 BCSC 1693 as well as “major loss” actions including the 2013 jury trial on which she was co-counsel. In that case the jury returned a verdict of over 1.3 million dollars.
