What Our Clients Say about Joseph P. McStravick

“Joe and his team were FANTASTIC to work with! I was put at ease the moment the process started. All of my questions were answered in a timely manner and I felt totally looked after. Any time I had a concern or needed clarification for anything, someone from their team responded within 48 hours. From start to finish, everything ran smoothly. I’m so grateful for Joe and his assistants. Andrea was my main contact and always made me feel comfortable when I was unsure of things. I appreciated their patience with me and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone. Definitely would use Joe again (hopefully, I won’t need to though)! Thank you, Drysdale Bacon McStravick LLP.”

AMY LAUWERS

“Joe is a professional, effective, kind lawyer who gets results. I worked with him years ago when I was in a terrible MVA and he, and his team, made the legal part of that process bearable. More recently, he assisted me with an estate issue. He gets things done. Joe communicates well and keeps you in the loop. Without any hesitation, I would highly recommend Joe to those seeking legal counsel.”

    Case Highlights

    Dzaferovic v. Gupta

    This case involved issues arising out of an accident in which the plaintiff driver hit the defendant while the defendant was driving haphazardly through an intersection. Joe and co-counsel successfully argued that the defendant was 100 percent responsible for the injuries to the plaintiff.

    Jackson v. Jeffries

    This was a Personal Injury claim that arose from a car accident. The defence argued that the Plaintiff was partially responsible for his own injuries because he was not wearing a seatbelt. Joe defended against shared liability by successfully arguing that ICBC failed to prove that the lack of a seatbelt in this instance was the reason for the injury.

    McPherson v. Lange

    This lawsuit arose from a car accident in which Lange, who was turning left through a controlled intersection on a yellow light, was struck by McPherson, who was proceeding through the intersection. This case addressed the tension that exists between the obligations of a left-turning driver and someone driving through an intersection, including how fault is allocated between the two.
