Oakville, ON, 59-years-old, President of Engineering Firm
“As president of a major firm, I engaged David services through a mutual acquaintance. He was able to find a loophole in the contract of employment that two other lawyers missed. It made all the difference. David was able to negotiate an outstanding severance package, including removal of onerous post-termination provisions. Thanks so much David.”

“As an older employee, I was devastated when my job was outsourced. The other side made me a lowball offer. In the end, David got me 22 months of severance. He knows his stuff and doesn’t back down. Thanks so much David.”

London, ON, 49-years-old, Transportation Executive

Markham, ON, 43-years-old, Marketing & “Rewards” Industry
“I lost my job after 8 years of service for a reason that I thought was un-fair. I hired David Ertl in hopes that I could get help. I never thought there was a lawyer out there that is so honest and supportive. As I went through the process he opened my eyes to see that not all lawyers make it about money; he cared. He gave great advice to bring my case to a quick and reasonable settlement. All lawyers should take a page out of your book when it comes to dealing with people.”
K.B.
Richmond Hill, ON, 54-years-old, Information Technology Management
“You can trust Mr. Ertl to go the extra mile on whatever he does… I was dismissed from my senior-level job in the IT industry after just 4 months. Mr. Ertl was able to negotiate a package for me that was far beyond what I expected, and without even having to commence a lawsuit.”

Barrie, ON, 34-years-old, Account Executive, Advertising
“I am so glad that I chose David to represent me in my wrongful dismissal matter. He kept me well-informed along the way and managed to get me an excellent severance package. I hope that I won’t need another employer lawyer, but if I do, I would choose David without question.”

Vaughan, ON, 43-years-old, Transportation Industry Professional
“I had filed a complaint against my employer for terminating me just after I announced my pregnancy. In response, my employer hired a high-priced firm to defend them. It appeared that my matter simply wasn’t moving forward, until I contacted David Ertl. David took hold of my matter and convinced the employer to settle. I could not have done it without him.”

Pickering, ON, 42-years-old, Dental Industry
“My case was handled with great professionalism and care, and most importantly, no issue was left out. Everything was discussed, updated and well-prepared ahead of time. I would strongly recommend David…just one more little thing I forgot to mention… I got a great result! Great job David.”

Whitby, ON, 52-years-old, Advertising Sales Professional
“Dave. You took what was a very stressful time in my life and gave me hope and guidance. I knew you were the right lawyer for me when I first spoke with you. You were the only lawyer that told me to interview at least two other lawyers before deciding on a lawyer. The other two lawyers pressured me to come in and see them. You’re a credit to your profession.”

Milton, ON, 32-years-old, Human Resource Professional, Hotel Supply
“Dave, you honestly rock! I am so happy I chose you as my lawyer. You got me the settlement I was looking for while making the process as easy on me as possible, financially and emotionally. I really do appreciate all you did for me. I will definitely recommend you to others.”

Hamilton, ON, 51-years-old, Sales Manager
“David was the only lawyer that I called that didn’t use hard sell tactics to get me as a client. In fact, he advised me to interview a bunch of lawyers. I came back to him. He got me a great severance package. There was no question he was the best choice.”

Your compassion and understanding and time are greatly appreciated especially at a time when many dental hygienists in Ontario are struggling with employment issues.

“I was terminated on the same day along with a fellow worker. I chose David. My co-worker chose another well-known lawyer. Compared to my friend’s results, David charged less and got me more severance. You can’t argue with results. Awesome job. Thanks David.”
P.G.
Mississauga, ON, 34-years-old, Orthodontic Field
“I was terminated as soon as I returned from my pregnancy leave after my first child. My employer said it was a “restructuring” which was b.s. Ertl Lilly was the first to return my call and to take the time to listen to my side of the story. David put together a winning strategy so I did not have to go back to that employer, and got me a great severance package. This was all done without filing a lawsuit. I recommended David highly.”
S.B.
Pickering, ON, 51 years-old, Sales Manager
“I only worked for my employer for 2 years, but David negotiated a severance package that got me more than I expected, and his fees were very reasonable. My ex-employer is a large company and has a history of grinding its employees. They tried to play hardball, and that was a big mistake. David is not intimidated by any lawyer. He is confident and cares about his clients. Thanks David!”
E.W.
Markham, ON, 52 years-old, Financial Analyst
“I suffer from anxiety and depression and was tormented at work by my new manager. She put me on a performance improvement plan, which was unfair. David helped me behind the scenes to fight the PIP and then helped me to leave with a severance package, and a letter of recommendation. Sometimes in life you just need someone in your corner, and this was one of those times. David was professional, caring, and was available when I had my “down” days. I am certain that I would have been fired or driven out of my job without compensation had I not hired David.”

“My employer terminated me and offered me a low-ball severance package. After speaking with David Ertl at Ertl Lawyers I immediately felt confident that he would be able to get me a severance package more in line with what I deserve. David was able to exceed my expectations. He was professional and kind throughout the whole process and I couldn’t recommend Ertl Lawyers more.”

“Even after being diagnosed with depression, the insurance company rejected my claim for long-term disability benefits. David took on my matter, resolve it in a matter of months. He did all the heavy lifting and made the process easy for me at a very difficult time. Thanks Dave!”

“When my insurer cancelled my LTD benefits, I didn’t know what to do. I found Ertl Lawyers and spoke with David Ertl about my case. He was able to provide me with straight forward answers to all of my questions and was able to walk me through the process of making a claim against my insurance company. David was able to deliver excellent results and I am so happy I found Ertl Lawyers.”

“I was so happy to find Ertl Lawyers. After my work terminated me for cause for something that I didn’t do I thought I was going to be out of luck trying to get a severance package. After speaking with Ertl Lawyers I had hope. The team at Ertl Lawyers got me a severance pay and I cannot recommend them enough.”

I would always recommend Ertl Lawyers for any issues you might have with your disability insurance.”
