Testimonials

I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation for all your hard work on my behalf. You have given me a second chance and I am grateful. Thank You!

Ryan was very helpful and professional in helping me with my legal problem. When I was arrested, before I hired Ryan, I gave a statement to the police. I now know I shouldn’t have talked to the police. Ryan was able to help me out of that. He worked with the situation and convinced the prosecutor that they wouldn’t be able to use my statement against me. My English is not very good. Ryan was very patient in working with me, making sure I understood everything that was going on. He even had an interpreter come in once, just to make very sure I understood exactly what was happening. I was in a lot of trouble. Ryan was able to work out my case quickly. I am very happy with the result.

We do not know how often a Criminal Defence Lawyer is praised for his work, but we strongly feel that Ryan Johnson should be highly praised. He did what other lawyers before him could not get done and he was fighting an uphill battle for us. We particularly want to point out numerous things that impressed us and made is feel comfortable with him. We appreciated that he sympathized with our predicament. He did not dismiss our feelings or ignore them and it helped us go through this awful process. He was easy to talk to and has a good sense of humour, which always helps. He always kept us informed, providing us with as much detail as he could. He would provide us with his expert opinion, explain the reasoning and then ask us to let him know how to proceed. We truly appreciated this because we felt we had some control and input into our file.

I have dealt with B.C. lawyers for forty years in every professional capacity. Michael Mines, Mines and Company Law, stands above the rest and is to be commended for providing me (and my family) with prompt, professional and proficient defence in a complex white collar criminal case involving accusations over a decade ago including, but not limited to,  thousands of pages of evidence, convoluted financial transactions and personal and corporate  bankruptcy implications. Mr. Mines is particularly adept in dealing with Crown Counsel. Mr. Mines skilled and specialized legal experience is to be highly praised and much applauded by his clientele and peers.

I was recently charged with a driving offence. A friend recommended Mines and Company. Michael took my case and was very clear in his intention to help me and was great in explaining the law. He made many court appearances on my behalf so I didn’t have to miss work or get involved with the court proceedings. Ultimately he got the charges dropped and I plead guilt to a lesser (Motor Vehicle Act) charge. Dealing with him was a positive experience. I would definitely highly recommend this law firm.

Thanks to Mr. Mines, what could have been a costly and traumatic legal issue was resolved in a professional timely manner. I would not hesitate to use Mines and Company for any future legal issues and highly recommend this law firm.
