“I am a retired English teacher and a member of the B. C. College of Teachers.
I become involved in a complex dental malpractice action. In spite of a very thorough search, I could find neither a lawyer nor a dental expert to assist me. Reluctantly, I continued as an unrepresented lay litigant. After four years of applications and extensions, it appeared that I would lose the case.
Someone suggested that I contact Mr. Thomas Harding, who had won a landmark medical malpractice case some years ago. After hearing my story; he immediately agreed to help on a pro bono basis.
Not only did Mr. Harding obtain a highly reputable prosthodontist to write an expert report on my behalf, but he also gave me ongoing, detailed guidance. He freely provided legal advice over a period of years and later helped me to prepare for the settlement conference. When opposing counsel became aggressive and rude, he advised me how to handle the situation in a professional manner. Due to his generous and expert assistance, the dental insurance company finally agreed to settle the claim.
When I eventually offered to pay Mr. Harding a nominal sum, he suggested that I make a contribution to the food bank instead.
I have found Mr. Harding to be professional, honest, patient, and courteous; he has gained my confidence and admiration. I believe him to be a person of strong moral principles - one who has a passionate commitment to his community - and a willingness to assist people on a modest income without regard for personal gain. He is, in short, a willing advocate for justice.
It is because of Mr. Harding's high moral principles and kindness that my generally negative views of lawyers have been tempered with respect.”
