When you’ve been hurt in a serious accident, you need a trusted advocate that’s ready to fight for your best interests.
That is where Warnett Hallen LLP comes in. Founded by Paul Warnett and Manjot Hallen, the Vancouver-based personal injury law firm works tirelessly in pursuit of maximum compensation and fair outcomes for their clients. Warnett, has vast experience representing clients before the Provincial and Supreme Courts of British Columbia, and the Court of Appeal of British Columbia. With thousands of cases to his credit, personal injury and car accident lawyer Manjot Hallen brings a wealth of experience to every client assignment.
Having connected as colleagues at a firm specializing in car accidents, Warnett and Hallen joined forces as partners in 2013 and started a firm that also represents those involved in other unfortunate accidents — such as slip-and-fall accidents and dental malpractice.
Warnett Hallen LLP’s motto is ‘Settle for More’, because to their team, clients should never have to settle for less than what they deserve.
“When we say settle for more, we’re not just talking about monetary compensation,” says Manjot Hallen. “we’re saying settle for more in terms of a lawyer that looks after and cares about your best interests and responds to your needs in a timely fashion.”
The partners at Warnett Hallen LLP have decades of experience litigating injury claims and pursuing full and fair compensation for accident victims. The firm’s legal team of attorneys handle the complexities of dealing with the insurance agencies so that clients can concentrate on their recovery.
In their aim to give an exceptional level of service, the firm makes their clients feel like they are doing right by them every step of the way. That means one-on-one consultations with their principals, timely follow-ups from their staff, and of course, a long track record of successful results.
“We’re never going to be the firm that convinces a client to settle for a certain amount or engage in unnecessary litigation they may be afraid of,” explains Hallen. “We are going to be the firm that puts all of the information to our clients and helps them make an informed decision.”
Sensitive to the physical and emotional injuries experienced by personal injury victims, of equal importance to the Warnett Hallen team, in addition to defending their client’s interests, is to handle each case with the utmost care. “We empathize with our clients when they’ve been in a situation where something awful has happened — they’ve been in a car accident, they’ve suffered a slip and fall injury, or they’ve suffered from malpractice,” says Hallen. “We want to be there to tell them that things are going to be okay, and we’re going to look after them.”
Beyond creating a comforting and encouraging environment for their clients, the firm brings their full depth and breadth of experience to ICBC claims. In response to the new claims system put in place by ICBC, in which injury victims have essentially lost their right to claim fair compensation, Warnett Hallen LLP has joined the province-wide campaign alongside the Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia and other law firms to stand up against these changes.
“We’ve got to fight, not just as the firm alone, but collectively as trial lawyers in B.C.,” states Hallen. “We have to push back against the new legislation and ensure that car accident victims and injury victims will continue to have the right to fair compensation.”
Constantly thinking about their impact be yond the firm’s cases, the team is active in giving back to their community, having been involved with BC Children’s Hospital, BC SPCA, Vancouver Pride, Vancouver Sun Run, and CIBC Run for the Care over the years.
Looking ahead, Warnett Hallen LLP is com mitted to ensuring that their firm continues to take the burden off of their clients and provide comfort and empowerment to them through achieving the outcomes they deserve. “We take a lot of pride in how our clients view us after they’ve worked with us,” says Hallen. “From being voted by the local community for awards to receiving exceptional reviews online, the best barometer of our success is the wonderful things that our clients say about how we were there for them and exceeded their expectations when they were in their time of need.”
