I was referred to Neal Parker at Harper Grey after being terminated from a senior management role under circumstances I felt were unjust. From our initial consultation, Neal’s approach was both methodical and deeply empathetic. He didn’t just see a legal file; he understood the profound personal and professional impact the situation had on me and my family. Neal’s advice was exceptionally clear, outlining both the legal principles at play and the practical realities of litigation. His background in advising on workplace investigations proved invaluable, as he expertly guided me through the internal process that preceded my termination, identifying key procedural flaws. His drafting of the demand letter was precise and forceful, clearly reflecting the expertise that has earned him recognition in this field. The settlement he negotiated was not only financially favorable but also included a critical letter of reference, which was paramount for my career recovery. Throughout, his communication was consistent and candid, managing my expectations while fiercely advocating for my interests. Neal’s blend of sharp legal acumen from his UVic training and genuine client care is rare. I cannot recommend him highly enough for anyone facing complex employment matters in British Columbia.
