Testimonials
David, Leslie, and the rest of their team were a pleasure to have represent me over a long 7 years. They have the amazing skill of balancing professionalism while providing genuine care for their clients. I always felt like my concerns were heard and my questions were answered. If I ever reached out, they would always respond promptly and thoughtfully. If I ever suggested something I thought would be needed to aid me in my recovery, they were always supportive and would fight with me to receive that treatment. Overall, they were a very bright light in a dark time, and I could not thank them enough.
Ben and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with. The amount of care and passion they put into the work that they do needs to recognized. The warm smiley greetings from the lovely girl at the front desk when you arrive also was very comforting when your going through such hard times. One thing I loved most about working with Ben and his team was that no call I made ever went unanswered. He always took my calls right away or called back within the hour and that’s the kind of service you should want! Thank you again Ben and team!!
Ben Tarnow is exceptional. He gave me prompt and accurate advice prior to hiring him to represent me without pressuring. He then swiftly led me to a successful outcome for my situation once hired.
Ben is the best lawyer I have ever worked with. After interviewing 4 other lawyers, I didn’t feel at ease until I hired him. I trusted him to handle my case without needing to constantly prod him for updates. He was very communicative and prompt. I was able to just focus on living my life as usual. He was tough and persistent to secure me a fair deal and I’m extremely pleased. Without hesitation, I recommend him.

Ben Tarnow is fantastic! He is sharp, kind and real. He helped me understand what I was facing and made sure I understood my options. Thank you!
I went to Ben Tarnow for a consultation. While he did not take my case he assessed the probability of a successful outcome and recommended I pursue action through existing governmental avenues. Even past my consultation phase with him he was always open to answering a question here or there with the last one being for a clause in my settlement agreement.
I couldn’t recommend Ben and the Taylor & Blair firm more highly. Knowledgeable, straight forward advice and actions that gets results.

Worked with Ben Tarnow back in 2020 when I was illegally terminated during covid. It was a pleasure to have him take the stress off me by handling my case against a company that I had given 15 years of service to and had no qualms about not paying me what was due to me. Thanks Ben!

He was able to get my claim settled with the insurance company. I can’t say enough about how professional he was with my situation ! If I ever need a lawyer again…David will be my first call ..no question ! Thanks Again David.
I want to thank Ben for taking my case. Being treated poorly in my last work environment made me feel very unfair and furious. When I didn’t think I could have a fighting chance anymore, I found Ben. Having to ask for more pay after an unreasonable layoff was brutal (English is my second language). Ben was patient with my husband and me when explaining statements. After weeks had gone by, Ben had delivered what he had promised. I could relieve the stresses from the old place to move on finally. Thank you again, Ben. We appreciate everything you’ve done.
Better call Ben! I’m so glad I contacted him. Thanks to his expert advice, I was able to negotiate better terms.
They are superb and very prompt in response. I had number of times experience in consultation with them. There advice in any law field is excellent. I wish all lawyers are like them. Thank you greatly.

I had a very positive experience working with David Goldberg at Taylor & Blair and would highly recommend him and this law firm to anyone.

Had a good experience with this firm and Ben Tarnow. Administration was quick and responsive to my initial requests, as well as a pleasure to work with.

To find a lawyer is easy, to find one that will go the extra mile is very hard. I went with Taylor Blair because from the moment i met with them i knew they would fight for me. The settlement they got me was exactly where they said it would be and while i was stressed during the process they were not and knew what they were doing !
My husband and I have been extremely satisfied with the service we received from Taylor & Blair, notably, Brian Jacobson. We contacted Taylor & Blair in March of 2022, after finding ourselves in a situation where we had been denied mortgage life insurance from one of the “Big 5” banks. Brian returned my call the same day that I spoke to the office and he proceeded to get the ball rolling. We are ecstatic that a settlement (in full) was reached this November. Brian was always easy to work with, via telephone and email, and always listened to our concerns. Thank you very much Brian for what you accomplished for us! It was a pleasure to shake your hand!
I received a very kind, thoughtful, and highly professional service from Brian and the firm. I would recommend Brian without any hesitation to anyone.
I googled employment lawyer as I needed advice, knowledge and experience!!! I found this from the kind receptionist Barbara to the professional and courteous Ben. I am satisfied with information and guidance that Ben gave. I will be glad to recommend him to anyone who is need of an employment lawyer.
David returned my call when most firms said sorry but cannot help. He gave me information and advice that helped me deal with ICBC. Many thanks and would highly recommend Taylor & Blair and David

I had a good experience working with Ben. He was my lawyer in a case which took time about 6 months and I won that case with his help. He is a good choice.
I did a lot of research and spoke to many lawyers over a few months. I chose Ben Tarnow to represent me for many reasons. He was the most responsive, straight forward, supportive, factual, respective of time, and most authentic lawyer I have ever worked with.

I had a long seven year car accident case. Both David and Jacqueline went above and beyond, and did an absolutely fantastic and very professional job. I would highly recommend Taylor & Blair to anyone. If I am ever in need of help, they will definitely be my first call.
I’ve had individual consultation sessions with Ben Tarnow several times, and he (and the staff at Taylor & Blair) have been nothing short of outstanding. Unlike other lawyers I’ve seen, Ben always explains things clearly but while mentioning the applicable caveats. He communicates promptly and is always very transparent in his dealings. You can tell that he has your best interest at heart. A huge thanks to Ben & team!
Ben Tarnow has handled a couple of issues for me over the last four years in different areas of law. I have found him to be effective, kind and knowledgeable. Ben took me through one of the most difficult situations in my life and made it manageable, providing different options and the likely results at each step of the process. If you are looking for a lawyer who listens and can take you through the maze of the legal process in a competent manner, I highly recommend Ben Tarnow of Taylor and Blair LLP.
When I recently lost my job, it was Ben Tarnow who was the first employment lawyer who called me back after business hours, despite the fact that he was in court working on another client case that week. His consistent communication via text and email, honest guidance, and diligence throughout the process on my behalf, helped convinced me he was the right counsel to represent me against my former employer. I highly recommend Ben Tarnow at Taylor & Blair for the handling of employment case law issues.

We use Taylor and Blair for our business. We have always received great service and support from Dave Goldberg and Ben Tarnow. We highly recommend and refer them whenever possible.
Brian Jacobson and Leslie Harber always went above and beyond to make sure I felt safe, and always understood what was happening, no matter how many times it took to explain. They always do what is best for me and my needs. They are always accessible, thorough and kind. They fought the professional battles (at a safe distance from my anxiety to my great relief). I would not have gotten through this difficult process in one piece without them both.

He helped me counter offer and brought the matter to a swift conclusion. I appreciated that he provided comprehensive information to me throughout the process. I would recommend Ben to anyone who needs to assess a severance offer by an employer.
Highly recommend! David and Ben were easy to talk to and professional. They helped me when I returned from Maternity leave and my employer tried to use the pandemic to keep me from returning to work. Anyone having employment issues should call Taylor & Blair right away!
Lost my job due to company layoffs. Needless to say, it’s a traumatic and stressful process as I felt I was under compensated adequately for the years I worked for my company and decided to seek legal advice. I’ve consulted different law firms and was most impressed by Ben who comes very highly recommended. He’s very responsive, punctual and most importantly, he is very honest and trustworthy. Due to the complexity of my case, he advised me to hold back on legal proceedings until he did more research. He called me back the following day to not pursue the case because he won’t take on work he doesn’t believe will benefit me – and he didn’t even charge me for all that! I can never thank Ben adequately for his generosity and his professionalism.
Outstanding service from Ben. I highly recommend this law firm for their professionalism and excellent service.
Outstanding service! I had very little time and they were able to help me quickly. I was never waiting around to hear back. Always responded quickly, talked to real people fast, no automated answering service. Helped me get everything i could for a settlement. I will be using them again if needed.
I contacted Ben after I had been dismissed from my position after 30 years of service. Ben was thorough, highly informative, and professional through all of our interactions. At first, I thought that my case was hopeless – however, after meeting with Ben, and going over all of my documents and the circumstances of my termination, I learned that there was recourse available. What I really appreciated about Ben’s practice is how methodical and organized he is. He explained every step of the process and what my options were. Ultimately, Ben was able to secure an excellent settlement for me without litigation. I am grateful for the time and effort he spent on my case, and would highly recommend his services if you find yourself in need of an employment lawyer.
I needed some advice and Ben was so quick to respond and knowledgeable to how to handle my situation. He was able to explain concisely what I was and was not entitled to. Ben definitely made a difficult and awkward situation slightly easier.
I needed help with a matter for my disabled uncle and was offered direct information in a compassionate manor, with links sent to me via email and without so much as even being asked for a consultation fee. This 👏 THIS is how you help people and dispel any negative preconceived notions about lawyers the public may have. Hats off to Ben and his firm for being human first and lawyers second.
I was very impressed with the knowledge and professionalism of Ben Tarnow’s law firm. I was very happy that he followed up constantly with me. I never had to call him to know what was going on. My case moved very expediently and am very grateful of the outcome. I would highly recommend him to anyone in a similar predicament, and would definitely call on him again if need be. Dawn S.
Ben was not only clear, attentive, and thorough but very effective with his handling of my issues. I was happy with the results from his service and would highly recommend
Such a good lawyer! Would highly recommend to anyone in need of a professional, caring and compassionate representative.

This company doesn’t treat individuals purely as a case, but more of a growing family. Also the office views Are breathtaking!
I was incredibly lucky to have Ben as my attorney for a wrongful dismissal case. Ben is an exceptional lawyer; he’s very knowledgeable in all aspects of employment laws and when things got tough with my case, he was there to explain every step so I could make informed decisions.

I have worked with Taylor & Blair for nearly 20 years, very professional, courteous and friendly…thank you for being such a great company to do business with…
Be was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. If you have any employment legal issue I would strongly recommend Ben. To start he replied fast, I contacted other lawyers and most of them never even bother to call me back. Ben not only contacted me back but helped me find the best solution for my case. I could not recommend him enough.
Taylor & Blair was able to quickly and knowledgeably settle my LTD (long term disability) lawsuit in my favour. The process was easy to navigate and I greatly appreciated their assistance in the matter.
Ben was fantastic to work with and got me a settlement I was happy with. My case was rather complex and unique, but Ben knew exactly how to handle things at every stage, winning the case decisively.

Being in an MVA can be a stressful experience but with Graham Taylor’s support and expertise I was able to obtain a fair settlement from ICBC. From beginning to end, he and his staff were incredibly helpful. He was approachable, attentive and detail oriented. I also appreciated the extent to which he was diligent to ensure I understood the process and that I was informed of my options along the way. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs trustworthy legal advice and a fair outcome!
I’m very happy with my experience with David A. Goldberg, my settlement was done in a timely, professional, and friendly manner.
