    Personal Injury & ICBC Claims

    In a process that took over 4 years, Rick McMullan remained a steady presence in my shattered life.  He went at my pace, providing me with details when I was ready to receive them.  Every team member that I came in contact with was respectful and efficient.

    My experience with Ashley Harrison & her team at CBM Lawyers was a great experience from start to finish. It was my initial meeting with Ashley that made me feel like she was the one I wanted to represent me in dealing with ICBC. I knew I did not have to look any further and that I had found the perfect team to work with. 

    I was happy with everyone I dealt with, right from the receptionist to the legal assistants to my lawyer. I would not hesitate  one moment to recommend Ashley and her team to anyone.


    It was truly a pleasure to have my case handled by Ashley. Every interaction, with either Ashley or her assistants, was a pleasant one. Always considerate and attentive, they handled my case with stream-lined professionalism - communicating updates as required but never taking more of my time than was necessary. My case was handled much more swiftly than expected and overall, I am incredibly thrilled with Ashley's work and will be recommending her to anyone who is seeking out a personal injury lawyer in the future. Thanks Ashley!

    K.M. (Burnaby)

    Ashley was amazing to work with. From the moment I walked in the room I felt cared for. She was sensitive to my injuries and followed up lots to make sure I was doing well. I really appreciate the extra mile she always went! I was nervous about going the lawyer route, but in the end it was the best decision. I would refer you to anyone I knew who needed a lawyer!

    L.S. (Langley)

    Over the four and a half years that I was dealing with ICBC, Tom took an interest in me, not just the case. This helped to remove some of the stress a car accident causes. I highly recommend Tom Murphy and Campbell, Burton & McMullan, to anyone who has to deal with ICBC after an accident.

    June S. (Vancouver)

    I'm very pleased with the final outcome and more importantly, your care of my case throughout the process and the many kind attentions as well from your secretary Lindsey. I would be happy and confident to contact your firm should the need for legal services arise in the future.

    I would like to give my thanks and utmost appreciation and solely would not been able to get through this car/pedestrian accident Oct. 7 2014 without Paul Seale and Lise.

    My wife and I were involved in a serious motor vehicle accident in which we sustained multiple injuries and our car was destroyed. Thanks to a referral, we contacted Rick McMullan with the law firm Campbell, Burton & McMullan LLP and he agreed to represent us in our dealings with ICBC. Mr. McMullan immediately impressed us with his knowledge and experience in dealing with ICBC, which allowed us to concentrate on healing and getting our life back on track. We eventually settled both of our claims and were very pleased with the manner in which our claims were handled as well as the final settlement. Mr. McMullan and his staff were always very professional, caring and supportive throughout the entire process. We would heartily recommend Mr. McMullan and his firm as their level of knowledge, experience, respect and compassion were all exemplary.

    G. & D.G. (Langley)

    I contacted Mr. McMullan due to a personal injury claim regarding a vehicle collision, that resulted in my requiring back surgery. My case was complex as I had previously suffered unrelated injuries and surgeries. The issues were to differentiate the result of previous injuries from the current situation. Mr. McMullan handled my case with professionalism and compassion. He took the stress of dealing with the insurance company completely off my shoulders and held my interests to the highest regard. The staff at Campbell, Burton and McMullan are of the highest caliber. I will definitely refer anyone requiring legal services to this firm.

    I.S. (Surrey)

    Thank you so much for your support, advice and kind words. It's been a long 3 1/2 years but you made it bearable. I feel the truth won out, thanks for all your help!

    D.B. (Mission)

    Thank you both for your work in looking out for my interests in this lawsuit. I am extremely pleased with your professionalism and the results you have achieved on my behalf.

    Mike R. (State of Washington)

    [Tom] Thank you very much for being an awesome lawyer.

    G.N. (Surrey)

    I just wanted to say thank you to Tom Murphy for working so hard on my case. It was long 5 years, and now its over. If it were not for my accident I would have never met Tom. Not only was he extremely professional but he also had a lighter side to him which put you at ease. Anytime I ever received a phone call from Tom, I was always greeted with “Hi, how are you doing,” genuinely concerned about my life and not just my case. Not typical of most people. Every year I would receive a Christmas card from Tom and his wonderful team, who by the way were extremely pleasant to talk with. There were times Tom and I would speak on the phone (not billed of course) just about life, family vacations, and people we met along the way. It wasn’t always just about the lawsuit, it was more personal than that. When my law suit was over, it made me sad to think I wouldn’t get to see or talk to Tom again. I told him this in our final meeting, and he told me ” Well I’m only a phone call away.” I thought that was so sweet and Tom, you will be missed! Thank you again for all your sincere hard work and kindness.

    L.S. (Abbotsford)

    I was a pedestrian hit from behind by a car and I suffered a number of injuries including serious head injuries. My fear that I would never be able to work again, and provide for my family, led me to seek the advice of a lawyer. On the recommendation of a friend I retained the firm of Campbell, Burton & McMullan. My lawyer was Mr. McMullan, and I was very impressed with him right from the start. He was always very attentive and responsive to my needs. He never failed to answer my phone calls, e-mails, and to meet with me whenever I requested a meeting. His knowledge and experience is also very impressive. He left no legal stone unturned to ensure a successful outcome to my case. I know that if I should ever again need legal advice of any sort I will use Campbell, Burton & McMullan and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

    D.C. (Langley)

    Following a motor vehicle accident in Sept 2015 I reached out to Tom for guidance and after having listened to his legal opinion I promptly engaged him. Whilst the legal process took longer than I had originally anticipated the interaction throughout with Tom was excellent and informative. At the end of process Tom delivered a first-rate result and I would gladly recommend his services. Thanks for all the help Tom - very much appreciated!

    G.T. (Richmond)

    I was impressed with how my claim was handled by CBM Lawyers and extremely satisfied with the settlement. I would like to thank Mr. McMullan, Cheryl and the rest of the staff for all of the hard work they have put into my claim and during the settlement process. I appreciate it very much.

    Jeanine L. (Victoria)

    I called CBM Lawyers the day after I got in my motor vehicle accident. Ashley called me back the same day and we made an appointment to discuss what happened. I was very scared and Ashley made me feel so comfortable. Throughout the process I felt safe and respected. She kept me informed about what was going on and I trusted her to be my voice. She always left every decision up to me but I always asked for her opinion as I knew she would always point me in the right direction. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and the amazing service I received from Ashley and CBM Lawyers as a whole. Her staff that I was in contact with were so nice and had no problem explaining to me the paperwork they were sending me. I can't tell you how much I appreciate everything they have done for me. Thank you so much!

    B.K. (Surrey)

    We just want to thank you Paul, for your support, advice and encouragement in relation to our difficulties with ICBC. Persistence and patience have paid off. We really appreciate your help.

    J.F. & D.S. (Langley)

    I always felt that Mr. McMullan and his staff had my best interests at heart, and that I wasn't just another case to them.

    T.N. (Chilliwack)

    I was a pedestrian walking with my husband when I was hit from behind by a car. I suffered numerous injuries, including head injuries, that led me to seek the advice of a lawyer. I contacted CBM Lawyers and asked to talk to Richard McMullan who became my lawyer. Mr. McMullan and his staff were very professional, caring and supportive throughout the entire process. Emails and phone calls were always responded to quickly and with compassion. I know they did everything to help my claim and my process of healing. Without a doubt I heartily recommend CBM Lawyers. I thank them for all of the hard work they did on my behalf.

I was very happy with how my injury claim was handled and the results Mr. McMullan obtained for me. If I’m ever in need of legal help again I would definitely contact Mr. McMullan to represent me.

    Family Law, Wills and Estates

    I worked with Doug many years ago when I was a young family lawyer and never forgot his kindness, intelligence or integrity. He was my first (and only) choice when I decided to go through the painful process of separation and divorce. My case was particularly high conflict and complicated, and Doug was skilled, responsive and supportive every step of the way. We settled at mediation, and I was thrilled with the result. Divorce can be very stressful and overwhelming, but I always felt better after consulting with Doug. He calmly listened to my concerns, and provided clear, well-explained options for moving forward. I also appreciated his sense of humour, which certainly helped lighten the mood and gave me perspective. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Doug. He is an excellent lawyer, and expertly helped me navigate one of the most difficult times in my life through to an excellent conclusion.”

    S.M.

    I can't thank you enough, for some reason this was one of the hardest things I've had to do but your help means the world to me and I know it's your job but you did it so well and I felt supported the whole time. Thank you so much! A.S.

    Steven was fantastic, a real down to earth guy. I’ve dealt with other lawyers in my past, but never anyone like Steve. Thank you.

    R.V. (Aldergrove)

    At the end of the day these processes are never enjoyable. I know you have a difficult job dealing with the humanity of the rest of us. I appreciate what you do and am grateful for your assistance in this matter. I found you to be fair and reasonable from the first time I met you and would be happy to refer people to you.

    T.B.

    My wife and I would like to thank you for your excellent work regarding this dispute. The best part of this is not the money but that we included our grand children first and we can not place a monetary value to this down the road. This also indicates to the other party that she can not have her own way and that she has to be fair to all concerned. Thanks John.

    C.H. & S.H. (Langley)

    One is never prepared for such an unpleasant and scary situation and [I] deeply appreciate the help navigating it all. The knowledge, professionalism & wisdom made the experience as good as it could be. You really do a great service to the community. I am sure it must be challenging dealing with people who are stressed out and emotional (this was definitely me). But it is great to be able to confidently trust that someone is capable of acting in one's best interest. Anyways, thanks again for everything.

    K.W. (Langley)

    Mr. Hart assumed my divorce case when my previous lawyer became ill. As my Court of Appeal appearance date was imminent, it was necessary for Mr. Hart to review the whole of my file rather quickly. This he did and I am happy with the way he represented me. His expertise in Court of Appeal matters was most beneficial. It is a pleasure to recommend his work.

    I have used Scott to incorporate my two companies, he and his team are professional about the process and walked me through the ins and outs of owning a corporation. Highly recommended.Scott has provided legal services to my clients. Through this mutual working relationship I have found Scott to be a very dynamic individual who strives to provide the best service to his clients. He can be relied upon to do high quality work, and he understands that the relationship side of the business is just as important as the technical side. Scott has both skill sets and, for that reason, I would have no reservations about recommending him to my clients. It is always a pleasure to work with him.

    K.K.

    Scott is an exemplary attorney. I have had the good fortune of working with Scott early on in my business career, when expert opinion was crucial, yet the finances to hire an expert opinion seemed to be a high cost. Scott proved to provide my business the essential services that my business needed. Performing all required due diligence, contracts review, and other more sophisticated business organizational set up, with utmost professionalism, speed, and budgetary considerations. I continue to use Scott for all my business legal requirements.

    During our time with Scott, we have closed over 50 share and asset purchases across Canada, representing the hiring of over 600 employees and involving aggregate sales of more than $152 million dollars. Scott has proven throughout these many years to be a knowledgeable and valuable asset to our team. He has demonstrated a great balance between the technical aspects of a transaction and the business realities that allow for a successful deal to be transacted.

    T.Q.

    Scott was extremely helpful in guiding our company through a complex process of repurchasing shares from ten outside shareholders, and in subsequently developing a shareholder agreement for five partners within a streamlined corporate structure.
