What my clients say

Thank you Tracy and Hamish for your expertise to resolve my case. Both of them and the team are great. They explained step by step and always kept me informed throughout the whole process. I definitely recommend the Nelligan Law firm to anyone and again myself if may need it."

Hamish helped me through a recent litigation pertaining to MVA and was extremely patient and thorough throughout the entire process. He shared the details of the process, expected timelines and potential outcomes while maintaining regular contact and updates throughout the entire process.
The process can be long and stressful however, having someone like Hamish representing your best interests helps manage those stressors.

"Hamish has excelled at informing and reassuring us about our case. He has explained the processes clearly and adequately and detailed his actions in supporting us. We appreciate him making himself available, he never gives us the impression that we are taking up his time or asking illogical questions, and his manner is very comforting."
