Ian Carruthers was introduced to me through some mutual connections and since then I’ve been relying on his legal advice. Mr. Carruthers always provide his best sincere guidance and shows lots of attention to details. When additional resources are needed, he goes above and beyond and does his research and reaches out to his contacts to offer complete and clear advice. He thrives to accommodate client’s time and offers flexible availability. Above all, his fees were very reasonable and only bills you after completion of the work.

Ian worked on a claim for me that was malpractice but also had a disability component. He was confident and firm in his knowledge against the opposition in questioning, he was diligent, quick to communicate with, and he was caring.
