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.

David Goldberg assisted me with a personal injury case where I was injured and suffered a significant disability. Mr. Goldberg dealt with the insurance company and worked diligently to get me a reasonable settlement from the insurance company.
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.

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.
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

He was the most responsive, straight forward, supportive, factual, respective of time, and most authentic lawyer I have ever worked with.

You can tell that he has your best interest at heart. A huge thanks to Ben & team!

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.
Very wonderful people here. I started out with Kevin Blair himself who retired and handed my case over to David who was just as wonderful to deal with. Everyone made sure it was Hassel free on my end as they did all the work. They explained everything and made me feel very welcomed and understood. I highly recommend anyone to use them if they need a lawyer.
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.
Ben and his team did a tremendous job for me. He went above and beyond my expectations and provided excellent service at an excellent value. I would not hesitate to retain his services again in the future.
