Patricia Morris
François Baril represented me in a complex medical negligence case involving a surgical error. His recognition in Best Lawyers for Medical Negligence was a key factor in my decision to hire him, and his technical knowledge of the law was evident throughout. He secured a reasonable settlement. However, my experience was mixed. While his legal strategy was sound, I sometimes felt out of the loop for weeks at a time. Responses to emails could be slow, and managing expectations around timelines was an area for improvement. For a straightforward case, his expertise from Gowling WLG is solid, but be prepared to be proactive in seeking updates. He is clearly knowledgeable, especially given his Lawyer of the Year recognition in Ottawa, but the client service aspect felt just adequate.
