Best Lawyers in Ottawa and Arnprior. I was involved in a head on vehicle collision with a careless driver almost 4 years ago. After experiencing a major trauma , I would have been lost without Susan Mitchell and her amazing team in my corner. Susan was a godsend in a very difficult period of our lives.  She handled every obstacle with ease, she answered all of our many questions and concerns with patience and understanding.  We cannot thank Susan, Crystal,  Stan and the rest of the team enough for everything that they did for us.

Great listeners.  Great questions. Better responders.  Timely service with just the right amount of persuasion when needed.   I would recommend their services to anyone.  

Thank you for everything. It was a real pleasure to have your team helping me with my case. Ian Stauffer is a great person. Thank you so much.

I was involved in a serious bike/car accident. I was reluctant to make a claim against the insurance company of the car driver. Susan Mitchell and her team came highly recommended by some friends who actually work in the insurance industry who described her as both tough and fair. She did an incredible job representing me and achieved a favourable and fair settlement with the insurance company. She was both empathetic and patient in guiding me through the claims process! I would highly recommend Susan and her team.

Susan Mitchell and her assistant Jennifer looked after my wife’s claim after a serious motor vehicle/bicycle accident. Susan came highly recommended and she did not disappoint. She was empathetic, well organized and highly knowledgeable about brain injuries . We wanted someone who was both dogged but also effective in dealing with, and resolving, the claim with the auto insurer. Dealing with injury is traumatic enough both for the victim and their family so you want an advocate on your side who will expertly guide you through the process and get the compensation you deserve. Susan is that person.

After many difficult years full of stress and uncertainty, Susan Mitchell and her team were able to manage my file to a satisfactory settlement. Without all of her hard work and guidance, I would not have the peace of mind and financial security that I now have. Most importantly, it has given me the ability to move on with my life. Thank you so much Susan and Jennifer.

In early 2015, my son was injured in an accident. We reached out to Susan Mitchell for professional advice and she took on our case in order to obtain reasonable compensation. She was extremely knowledgeably, experienced, patient and kind. She treated my son with respect and guided him through a lengthy and difficult process. We felt heard and supported which led to the closure my family needed. We are ever so grateful to Susan and her team. Thank you! – M.W. and C.W.

I worked with Ian Stauffer and Jennifer for 7 years after I was hit by a truck tire. They were always very patient and explained everything in great detail to me and my family. I always felt that they had my best interest in mind! I am very satisfied with our result and can’t thank Ian and Jennifer enough for everything.

I am so grateful to have found Susan Mitchell after sustaining a mTBI in a motor vehicle accident. In what was otherwise an extremely stressful and challenging situation, I always felt very supported by Susan and could count on her and her team to understand and represent me and my interests. Susan (and Crystal) communicated regularly, and always explained things to me in a way I understood. I am very thankful for the immense empathy Susan showed in all of our dealings. She also went above and beyond to accommodate me and helped me access care that continues to be essential to my recovery.

Susan Mitchell was recommended to me by one of the professionals I was working with after I was injured in a car accident. She and her assistant Jennifer really made this experience smoother then I thought it could be. They were patient, walked me through each step, answered all of our questions (again and again sometimes), and helped us through the mediation process with their experience and advice. They were on top of all of the deadlines and paperwork, even when I was too overwhelmed to keep track. I would absolutely recommend her and her team.

Ian Stauffer, it was a pleasure working with you and Jennifer Wilson. I would like to thank you for all of your efforts and recent assistance managing my legal file. I am pleased with the overall results and believe that a reasonable conclusion was reached. Throughout our interactions, I always felt that you had my best interest at heart and I appreciate your measured approach and straightforward advice. I would confidently recommend you and your firm to others!

My must go-to real estate lawyer.

Susan, Donna and Catheryn did an awesome job getting the settlement that I needed after my major car accident. These gals really know what they are doing!! Thanks for explaining things for me, all through the process!  

This was my first home purchase and I had many questions and concerns. Don was very knowledgeable, took his time to explain various elements and helped me greatly throughout the process. I had an excellent experience with Don and the team at Tierney Stauffer.  

Don and Dolores are amazing. This was a complicated and stressful file and they always made me feel confident that things were in hand. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.  

When I first approached the law firm I was a complete and utter mess physically. I truly had no control over events in my life.
THE REGULAR activities of daily living WERE overwhelming. Frank and Rebecca provided reassurance and security. Knowing they were only a phone call away gave me confidence and a relieved feeling because I knew I had their support and was able to focus solely on rehabilitation. As my health improved during rehabilitation, they provided me with more insight into my case. That insight gave me strength and formed the foundation of my settlement. Years later, I see it was truly a team approach. They listened. They understood that the accident did not just affect me but also my family as a whole. I believe the best compliment one can give is a referral.  

I had Susan Mitchell as my lawyer and I thought the service provided was excellent. All procedures were clearly explained, questions were always answered expediently and professionally. I would highly recommend this firm.

My life was completely and permanently altered after a car accident and a resulting traumatic brain injury. To my surprise my own insurance company tried to break me over and over and over again as did the lawyers for the defendant. Lesly Joseph of TS kept me informed and calmed and reassured me when I was about to give up. She always had time for me as did her paralegal. Lesly guided me through the whole process and obtained settlements for me beyond my expectations. And a huge relief was that I did not have to go to trial. Lesly is smart, competent, personable and I highly recommend her. Thanks Lesly!

“Exceptional Law Firm: Outstanding Personal Injury Representation. I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service provided by the law firm, particularly attorneys Lesly Joseph and Frank Tierney, along with their law clerk, Tara Renaud. They recently represented me in a complex personal injury case, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome they achieved despite the numerous challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. From the very beginning, Lesly Joseph and Frank Tierney demonstrated their expertise and dedication to my case. They took the time to thoroughly understand the intricacies of my situation, providing me with honest and transparent guidance about my options. Throughout the entire process, they were communicative, keeping me informed of any developments and patiently answering any questions or concerns I had. One of the most remarkable aspects of their representation was their unwavering commitment to my case, even amidst the delays caused by the pandemic. The staff was instrumental in ensuring the smooth progress of my case despite the challenges posed by remote working arrangements and court closures. Furthermore, their genuine empathy and compassion throughout the process provided me with a sense of comfort and support during a difficult time in my life. I wholeheartedly recommend this law firm for any personal injury case. Their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to securing the best possible outcome are second to none. I am incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication in resolving my case, and I am truly satisfied with the result they achieved for me. Thank you to the entire team for a job exceptionally well done.”

Jasmine Workun-Hill helped me with a Human Rights dispute with my former employer. I was impressed with her expertise and dedication to helping me through this process. She was very thorough in answering my (many) questions and walked me through all aspects of the legal process. I was also very impressed in how responsive she was to my emails and I feel she always had my best interests in mind. I highly recommend Jasmine to anyone seeking a personable, skilled and trustworthy lawyer. 

During what was undoubtedly one of the most challenging times of my life, Susan Mitchell and her staff proved to be an invaluable support. Susan was thorough in her approach, making sure I understood all my options and guided me through the process. Her genuine care and empathy made a significant difference in my experience. Susan’s professionalism and timely communication helped alleviate my stress in this emotional process. I am deeply grateful for her service and highly recommend her to anyone facing similar circumstances.

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional work and unwavering support of Tierney Stauffer through a long and complicated claim. Their wisdom and understanding were instrumental in navigating the case intricacies, and their dedication ensured a successful outcome for me. Thank you for your tireless efforts and securing this result. 

I won 2 law suits with Kevin Butler MVA  and have had the pleasure of working with him for 5 years. Kevin showed patience and determination and was always very caring and professional! Kevin is a highly recommended attorney in my opinion because he always puts the client and their well-being first. He has now provided me with financial security and has helped me to move on from a very difficult time in my life and look forward to a bright future! Working with Kevin was the best decision I have ever made, and I would suggest that anyone would do the same.

I worked with Kevin Butler who replied in a very timely manner, was extremely professional and gave his honest opinion about the situation. All in all, I was very pleased with the work that was done and I will be using Kevin in the future.

“They did amazing work for me with my family law proceedings”.

Susan and her team were professional, compassionate and thorough when dealing with our case. They worked hard and we really appreciate everything they did for us!

“I had an excellent experience with Ian Stauffer and associate Kaitlin Brennan as my lawyers in a trip and fall case. They were truly professional, knowledgeable, kind, considerate, and genuinely caring. It was a real pleasure dealing with Ian and Kaitlin. They came highly recommended to me as I highly recommend them to others.”

We just wanted to mention how great you are with your clients. You make us feel like you have the time in the world for us. You take your time to explain everything and you are compassionate towards our situation. You’re great at your job. Thanks again. –

Lesly and her law clerk Tara worked diligently for my case with great compassion and dedication to help me get the best possible outcome. I would recommend them for any auto injury claim! Thanks Again!

Dana and Steve Tierney’s legal team are second to none. They are some of the most honest people that myself and my team have come to know over the years and they have been instrumental to my underlying success.

Besides the fact that they are a wealth of knowledge from not just a legal perspective, but they are a team of fundamentally business savvy minds. A major key that separates them from “the pack” is that they have an all encompassed team that covers every aspect of your legal, personal and business needs to be successful. They have experts in every field imaginable which is a rarity to say the least.

I would recommend the Tierney team to anyone on both personal and business levels. I have done so in the past and I will continue to do so in the future.

I am very thankful to Ian Stauffer and his assistant Jennifer Wilson for their handling of two lawsuits over the past few years. I really appreciate their professionalism and their willingness to take the time to guide me through the important yet complicated legal issues. They helped bring me peace of mind throughout the process.

When we heard that our health insurance denied coverage of a multi thousand dollar hospital bill, we were devastated and stressed. Kevin Butler’s service was excellent. He quickly assessed the situation, and determined that we had a case. He successfully appealed and the insurance paid the entire bill, as they should have done all along. I have learned that before accepting an insurance denial, it might help to consult with an experienced professional. Thanks Kevin!!

Susan Mitchell was recommended to me by a friend after I my motor vehicle accident. Susan and Jennifer met with me to discuss my case. Any concerns that I had were addressed in a timely manner, and always very professional and respectful. The focus is on the best outcome possible for the client. I would highly recommend Tierney Stauffer LLP for anyone who has been involved in an accident. They provide a great service and will follow you through your recovery at every step along the way, and ensure that you understand everything that is going on. Thank you.

When our daughter was killed in a car accident, we hired Ian Stauffer at Tierney Stauffer to take our case. From day one we were treated with compassion and understanding for our loss. We never felt like we were just another case. Due to COVID restrictions, the case carried on longer than anticipated but Ian and Jennifer Wilson made sure that once restrictions were lifted, the case got resolved quickly to our satisfaction. When the other parties’ lawyers were dragging their feet and information was not forthcoming, Ian was forceful in getting us what we needed. I really felt like he had our back and he kept us in the loop every step of the way. We could not be happier with the result and would definitely use the services of Ian Stauffer and Jennifer Wilson again.

Several years ago, we retained the services of Ian Stauffer and Jennifer Wilson for a motor vehicle accident and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Ian and Jennifer were professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer any questions we had throughout the process. They worked tirelessly to gather evidence and build a strong case on our daughter’s behalf, ultimately resulting in a successful outcome. We highly recommend Ian Stauffer and Jennifer Wilson to anyone in need of legal representation.

Susan Mitchell and her expert team at Tierney Stauffer LLP were recommended to me when I needed legal advice related to personal injury. I sustained a traumatic brain injury as a result of a fall from a horse. My family and I benefited from their skilled legal knowledge, detailed paperwork, timely communication and practical experience in mediation and litigation, as we proceeded with our claim. Susan, Jennifer and Vince always treated me with compassion, accommodated my need for an accessible environment and listened with patience when I was confused or overwhelmed following my injury and related losses. Susan went above and beyond to ensure that I was informed, prepared, and understood my options. She successfully negotiated a settlement that will be critical for my care in the future. I would not hesitate to recommend Susan Mitchell to anyone looking for advice or representation in any legal matter.

We will always be grateful for the help and guidance Susan Mitchell gave us after our son was in a car accident. He suffered a traumatic brain injury and the loss of two of his friends. Susan always explained things to us and him in terms that we understood. At the time we had no idea how much help he would need or where to get it. Again Susan made sure the right care was given to him which, at times, took a lot of work on her behalf. She and Jennifer kept in regular contact with us and always answered our questions. It’s hard enough to go through an experience like this but Susan and Jennifer made our lives a lot easier.

We just wanted to mention how great you are with your clients. You make us feel like you have the time in the world for us. You take your time to explain everything and you are compassionate towards our situation. You’re great at your job. Thanks again.

Eight years ago I was in an MVA in Ottawa. I knew nothing about the rehab that would follow nor the complications of multiple insurance companies all having responsibilities due to the brain injury and chronic pain that resulted. Susan Mitchell (Jen and others on the team) not only dealt with legal matters for me and my family but Susan became my advocate and led the way to gain support from three insurance companies, rehab companies and other providers that helped me along the way. For discovery sessions, settlement negotiations, etc. Susan prepared me well, walked me through the steps as they occurred and always took the time to make sure I understood the status of various matters. Susan kept my life moving forward and for that I am forever grateful.

The law firm was recommended to me at a stage when I was in bad shape following an RTA and at a point where my family and I did not even know what I needed moving forward. Susan Mitchell and her team were very helpful in advising me how to get immediate help and, also, on how to get set up with ongoing care. As such, I was able to focus on recovery. When it came time to negotiate for my settlement, they made the process much less stressful than I had expected and were able to get me a generous settlement. I am very satisfied with this law firm.

This firm was amazing. I never once felt like a client, I always felt like family. I was never rushed and things were explained to me as many times as I needed them to be without any problems. Jen was amazing. She checked in with me often and if I had any problems at all I just called her and it was solved right away. I never had to wait or call again. I was kept informed all the way through the settlement of the case.

I especially appreciate the attention that Jen gave to me and my family,  making sure that we were always taken care of. I was very pleased with the outcome and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this firm, especially Ian Stauffer and Jen.

When our daughter got hit by a car, we were dealing with the horrific details of how her life was altered. The entire team at Tierney Stauffer made the situation easier to deal with. Specifically, Jennifer and Susan Mitchell who were a real blessing to our family. They genuinely looked out for my daughter’s best interest. They reached out to her regularly to see how she was doing. They were very comforting to us. All in all, this is a law firm I was really impressed with. They prepared us for every step of the way and that was huge for us. I would recommend this law firm to anyone and everyone.

Worked with Frank and Lesly and their team for almost 6 years. They made us feel as though we were their only clients with the level of service and compassion they provided. If we had any questions, we always got our answers promptly. Their ability to work with someone with an invisible disability, and adapt to that person’s needs, was amazing. Totally recommend this law firm.

After surviving a tragic accident and spending more than three months in the hospital it was a blessing to have Ian Stauffer and his staff looking after all the legalities of my case. His expertise was invaluable in navigating through the complexity of the insurance system and this allowed me the time to focus on recovering from injuries. The work he and his team did was outstanding and I am filled with gratitude and appreciation for a very successful outcome. I more than highly recommend Ian Stauffer and his whole team.

I am very happy with the legal services I received from Mr. Ian Stauffer. My concerns were put to rest when I found Mr. Stauffer. He explained everything that was going to happen and was always responsive to my questions, and concerns. He took the time to explain options so we could weigh the pros and cons of each and come to a conclusion together. We finally settled the case this year and I credit the wonderful outcome to Ian.

I would highly recommend Mr. Ian Stauffer. He is a true professional at all times and knows his way around the personal injury legal system. He went well above and beyond what was expected and was fair with his billing as well.

This firm is top quality in the city – and I’m saying this because everyone has a bad lawyer experience and love to complain about lawyers…

Would highly recommend.

We are very thankful for the professional, knowledgeable, and informative service we received from Susan Mitchell and her team. Having initially decided to approach Tierney Stauffer based on the positive reviews we read, we reached out and engaged their services and were not disappointed. Thank you very much.

We wanted to express our sincere thanks to Ian Stauffer and Jennifer Wilson for all they have done for us during this highly stressful time when my sister was hit as a pedestrian and suffered multiple injuries including a brain injury 5 years ago. You and your team have been extremely patient and supportive, clear and transparent in your discussions with us. You had our best interest in my sister’s case and it wasn’t all about the money. You helped with superior referrals for care professionals that would aid in her recovery as well as lend an ear when we had so many questions about the claims process and lawsuit. We cannot express our thanks enough for all you have done to help her find a future that she can be secure in now that she cannot work.

I came to Tierney Stauffer when I was involved in a car accident in 2014. My family and I are extremely grateful for all the work Susan Mitchell did for us over the course of years. We are incredibly pleased with the outcome of our case and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Susan Mitchell or anyone from Tierney Stauffer in the future.

I am very satisfied with this firm and the work done on my behalf. Ian and his staff got to know me and catered to my needs. I did not feel like “just another case”. A very satisfactory outcome. Highly recommended.

Lesly Joseph and Tara Renaud are very professional and quick to answer questions in a competent and efficient manner. They took the time to re-assure me and guide me through the process of my case. They also made sure I received reminders of the next steps and of what is required in order to keep my case ongoing. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance –

They’re helping me in ways I never thought possible.

After surviving a hit and run, Susan Mitchell provided excellent service, thorough explanation and advice, in a professional and timely manner. The patience and service I received is truly appreciated and made my experience less overwhelming. Tierney Stauffer LLP: A firm worth hiring!

You have provided sound advice that has resolved our issue. We want to thank all of your staff that have supported us through this affair. Should we need a lawyer in the future you will be first on our list.

I had a slip and fall injury that resulted me being off work for more than 2 years. Valin Partners Lawyers in North Bay recommended Susan Mitchell to us. Susan travelled to North Bay to meet us and discuss my case. Susan negotiated a settlement with North Bay Township. We found her to be extremely professional and handled things in a timely matter. Both Susan and her staff were always willing to explain things to us. Susan and her staff are 5 star in my books!!!!

My family engaged Tierney Stauffer LLP to handle a case of grave assault on my brother over 6 years ago. At a time where my entire family was engrossed in deep grief, this law firm represented by the duo of Susan Mitchell and Lesly Joseph were absolute rock stars. They guided us throughout, avoiding legal pot holes that could mar our case. As the other party tried to cause unnecessary delays, these lawyers persisted, using calculated pressures as the occasion demanded to press forward.

My family and I are extremely grateful and will always recommend these lawyers to anyone for these reasons:

1. They were always within reach to tackle any questions we had about the case.
2. Their genuine empathy and understanding of the grief the family was going through…this proved to be extremely important!!!
3. Resisted in a subtle manner any attempts to prolong the case unnecessarily.
4. Even after a settlement was reached, their long reach to the officers at Health Canada and other institutions helped us negotiate favourable terms.
5. Their methodical approach to the entire case gave us a water tight schedule and a good understating of what to expect at each milestone.
6. Finally, both Susan Mitchell and Lesly Joseph exhibited great professionalism throughout the case.

I was involved in a MVA 5 ½ years ago. I had no clue what to do after the fact because of my injuries. Someone had referred me to Frank and Lesly to see if they could help me. And I am so grateful I did. They took everything over, were able to get me all in home support, rehab etc. I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for them. They were always there to answer my questions, time and time again when I couldn’t understand what was happening. Kathy was always answering my emails to help me through all the process. They were always upfront and honest about what to expect, and what they could do to help me. If you are looking for an amazing legal team you have found it with them!

I couldn’t be happier with this law firm. Professional, discrete, understanding and equitable. I dealt with Lesly Joseph who not only brings her professionalism, discreteness and positive attitude, but an amazing A-game to mediation. She took the time to explain the legal process to me and my family. She was clear on what we could expect from the entire process from start to finish. She prepared us well in advance and was accommodating over the course of the entire process. In the end, she reached a more than fair deal for us. The law firm had a few receptionists and clerks that I dealt with, and all of them were consistent in providing professional service and prompt responses via email, phone and even in person. I would definitely recommend them. Thanks Lesly!

We had an MVA in October 2015. We were in shock and in disbelief of what had happened. We needed help and were not sure where to look. We stopped into the office of Tierney Stauffer in Arnprior and were looking for someone that may understand our situation. We were sent to Carling Avenue and set up with a lawyer named Susan Mitchell and from then on we felt understood.

Susan Mitchell and her staff are very professional and bent over backward to make us comfortable. They kept us up to date on the on-going movement on the case. We had a long time between accident and settlement, but at no time did we feel left out of the loop. Susan made us feel that we were the only client she had, and always had the time to explain any of our concerns on the spot and made sure that we were satisfied.

We would strongly recommend Susan Mitchell and the firm to anyone. Many Thanks.

I have received excellent advice and service at this firm. I highly recommend it!
