- Damages for Wrongful Dismissal
You must as-is it worth it to sue for wrongful dismissal? How much can you recover?
A court will compensate you for salary and benefits proved to have been lost during the reasonable notice period, minus any severance pay or notice you actually received.
Be aware that you have a duty to seek new employment after any employment dismissal and the courts will consider your efforts to do so. Any money you earned or should have been earned during the reasonable notice period will also be deducted from any judgment for damages.
For instance, if you are entitled to a reasonable notice period of eight months and only received eight weeks of notice before being terminated and you could have earned money at a new job during that reasonable notice period, a court would most likely calculate the damages to include eight months' salary and benefits. Benefits that the courts have awarded damages for include:
•Bonuses
•Stock options
•Pension, insurance, medical plans
•Moving expenses
•Vacation pay
•Other benefits which would have been earned if employment had continued.
Aside from compensating for lost salary and benefits during the reasonable notice period, courts may, in limited circumstances, compensate a terminated employee for an employer's extreme behaviour.
Extreme behaviour includes causing mental distress, defamation or loss of reputation and assault, to name a few. As well, employees may be compensated for leaving a previous employer at the insistence of the employer who dismissed them.
- Constructive Dismissal: Getting Fired without Getting Fired
In business jargon, it's called, "Going to Siberia." You still work for the same company, but instead of being vice president of finance you're now the "special projects manager." Your corner office has been replaced by a cubicle next to the mailroom. "If they'd fired me," you fume, "at least I could have sued." Well, maybe you still can.
If your employer fundamentally breaches or changes any major term of the employment relationship, such as duties or status, you could claim that you've been constructively dismissed. In other words, you were, in effect, fired. You could then sue for wrongful dismissal.
A court will consider all of the circumstances of the employment relationship to decide whether a fundamental breach or change has occurred.
If, for example, your employer gave you reasonable notice that a change would occur, there is no constructive dismissal.
If a breach has occurred, you must communicate that you do not accept the change and try to negotiate a solution. If the problem cannot be resolved, you can resign and start an action for wrongful dismissal. The court will examine the facts surrounding the resignation when it awards damages.
If, instead, you continue to work under the new conditions, after a reasonable amount of time, the new conditions are considered accepted and become part of the employment agreement.
These are some changes which may qualify as constructive dismissal:
•Hiring a replacement
•Demotion
•Withholding pay
•Change in job responsibilities
•Abusive treatment
•Fewer hours
•Short-term lay off
•Forced leave of absence
•Not allowing employee to work
•Forced transfer
The damages that would be awarded by a court depend on a variety of factors and cannot be estimated here unless all factors are known and taken into account.
At the law offices of Irving Solnik Professional Corporation, Irving Solnik will sit down with you and help you determine if you, in fact, have a case for constructive dismissal.

Employment laws in Canada allow employees to claim wrongful dismissal if an employer unjustly terminates the employee without notice of termination or compensation. In Canada, an employer can terminate an employee without just cause as long as the employee is given proper notice of termination or full compensation/severance.
Employee's cannot be terminated for just cause without extraordinarily XXXXXX serious misconduct. That seldom exists. What is usually disputed on termination cases is the amount of severance that is required.
The Employment Standards Act or Canada Labour Code provides for minimum notice periods but there are a wide range of factors that can go into what an employee should actually receive.
Wrongful dismissal cases are complex and must be carefully assessed by an experienced lawyer. Getting expert advice soon after being terminated is important, since it helps reduce the need to litigate, saves costs, and ensures a fair settlement is reached.
If you have been wrongfully dismissed you are entitled to compensation from your former employer.

CONSTRUCTIVE DISMISSAL
Employees do not need to be told that they are fired in order to claim damages against their employer. In a constructive dismissal case, the employee can leave the company and claim damages as though they had been fired.
Constructive dismissal is the term used for situations where the employer makes fundamental changes to an employee's terms and conditions of employment. In this situation, the employee can claim damages for wrongful dismissal. While claims have become increasingly common, there are significant limitations that employees need to be careful about. This includes a particular consideration of whether the employee must, as part of their obligation to look for alternate employment, stay in the job despite the fundamental changes that have been made.
These cases fall under five categories:
Cut in salary or other remuneration. Demotion
Geographic/Transfer
Abusive Treatment
Setting up for failure
Do you have a case?
In all cases where constructive dismissal is an issue, it is essential to get appropriate legal advice promptly. Employees who do not object to relevant changes in a timely manner may be deemed to have condoned those changes thereby losing their right to claim.

ADVICE BEFORE YOUBEFORE YOR ARE FIRED!
Employees often need legal advice before a termination occurs. Obtaining advice in advance of termination will prevent an employer from building a case against the employee to justify firing the employee without compensation.
Many employees know that they will eventually be terminated. This termination could be due to the current economic crisis and the high number of bankruptcies and business downsizing that is occurring. Employees need advice about how they can be best positioned so they have a stronger legal case. We regularly advise clients before they are terminated about how to protect their rights. You will often receive less money if you make a wrong move without getting legal advice.

Employment Contracts Employment contracts which are carefully drafted can address potential problems before they arise. Contracts often define the employment relationship, including each of the parties' duties and responsibilities and the legal entitlements upon termination.
Employment contracts are becoming increasingly common. Unfortunately, many employees are unaware that it is important to get legal advice before signing, and unwittingly giving up important rights.
Irving Solnik and his hand picked staff have experience in drafting, negotiating and litigating many employment contracts. Employment contracts can have a significant impact on an employee's rights, so it is important to get proper and expert advice before signing anything. The value of legal consultation outweighs the cost when you are negotiating an employment contract. There are also many defences in the enforceability of a contract.

Damages for Wrongful Dismissal
So, is it worth it to sue for wrongful dismissal? How much can you recover?
A court will compensate you for salary and benefits proved to have been lost during the reasonable notice period, minus any severance pay or notice you actually received.
Be aware that you have a duty to seek new employment after any employment dismissal and the courts will consider your efforts to do so. Any money you earned or should have been earned during the reasonable notice period will also be deducted from any judgment for damages.
For instance, if you are entitled to a reasonable notice period of eight months and only received eight weeks of notice before being terminated and you could have earned money at a new job during that reasonable notice period, a court would most likely calculate the damages to include eight months' salary and benefits. Benefits that the courts have awarded damages for include:
•Bonuses
•Stock options
•Pension, insurance, medical plans
•Moving expenses
•Vacation pay
•Other benefits which would have been earned if employment had continued.
Aside from compensating for lost salary and benefits during the reasonable notice period, courts may, in limited circumstances, compensate a terminated employee for an employer's extreme behaviour.
Extreme behaviour includes causing mental distress, defamation or loss of reputation and assault, to name a few. As well, employees may be compensated for leaving a previous employer at the insistence of the employer who dismissed them.
Constructive Dismissal: Getting Fired without Getting Fired
In business jargon, it's called, "Going to Siberia." You still work for the same company, but instead of being vice president of finance you're now the "special projects manager." Your corner office has been replaced by a cubicle next to the mailroom. "If they'd fired me," you fume, "at least I could have sued." Well, maybe you still can.
If your employer fundamentally breaches or changes any major term of the employment relationship, such as duties or status, you could claim that you've been constructively dismissed. In other words, you were, in effect, fired. You could then sue for wrongful dismissal.
A court will consider all of the circumstances of the employment relationship to decide whether a fundamental breach or change has occurred.
If, for example, your employer gave you reasonable notice that a change would occur, there is no constructive dismissal.
If a breach has occurred, you must communicate that you do not accept the change and try to negotiate a solution. If the problem cannot be resolved, you can resign and start an action for wrongful dismissal. The court will examine the facts surrounding the resignation when it awards damages.
If, instead, you continue to work under the new conditions, after a reasonable amount of time, the new conditions are considered accepted and become part of the employment agreement.
These are some changes which may qualify as constructive dismissal:
•Hiring a replacement
•Demotion
•Withholding pay
•Change in job responsibilities
•Abusive treatment
•Fewer hours
•Short-term lay off
•Forced leave of absence
•Not allowing employee to work
•Forced transfer
The damages that would be awarded by a court depend on a variety of factors and cannot be estimated here unless all factors are known and taken into account.

Our expert severance lawyers have assessed and negotiated tens of thousands of packages, helping to ensure that our clients receive the maximum entitlement. It is essential for you to have your case reviewed by a legal expert, who will be able to determine your entitlement by analyzing all the relevant factors in determining potential entitlement of all possible types. Events surrounding the hiring and firing are also crucial.
Without legal advice, employees often accept severance packages well below their legal entitlement. In our experience, most employers present an initial severance package that we can further improve to your advantage.

Wrongful Dismissal
Employment laws in Canada allow employees to claim wrongful dismissal if an employer unjustly terminates the employee without notice of termination or compensation. In Canada, an employer can terminate an employee without just cause as long as the employee is given proper notice of termination or full compensation/severance.
Employee's cannot be terminated for just cause without extraordinarily XXXXXX serious misconduct. That seldom exists. What is usually disputed on termination cases is the amount of severance that is required.
The Employment Standards Act or Canada Labour Code provides for minimum notice periods but there are a wide range of factors that can go into what an employee should actually receive.
Wrongful dismissal cases are complex and must be carefully assessed by an experienced lawyer. Getting expert advice soon after being terminated is important, since it helps reduce the need to litigate, saves costs, and ensures a fair settlement is reached.
If you have been wrongfully dismissed you are entitled to compensation from your former employer.

Constructive Dismissal
Employees do not need to be told that they are fired in order to claim damages against their employer. In a constructive dismissal case, the employee can leave the company and claim damages as though they had been fired.
Constructive dismissal is the term used for situations where the employer makes fundamental changes to an employee's terms and conditions of employment. In this situation, the employee can claim damages for wrongful dismissal. While claims have become increasingly common, there are significant limitations that employees need to be careful about. This includes a particular consideration of whether the employee must, as part of their obligation to look for alternate employment, stay in the job despite the fundamental changes that have been made.
These cases fall under five categories:
Cut in salary or other remuneration. Demotion
Geographic/Transfer
Abusive Treatment
Setting up for failure
Do you have a case?
In all cases where constructive dismissal is an issue, it is essential to get appropriate legal advice promptly. Employees who do not object to relevant changes in a timely manner may be deemed to have condoned those changes thereby losing their right to claim.

Advice Before Termination
Employees often need legal advice before a termination occurs. Obtaining advice in advance of termination will prevent an employer from building a case against the employee to justify firing the employee without compensation.
Many employees know that they will eventually be terminated. This termination could be due to the current economic crisis and the high number of bankruptcies and business downsizing that is occurring. Employees need advice about how they can be best positioned so they have a stronger legal case. We regularly advise clients before they are terminated about how to protect their rights.
You will often receive less money if you make a wrong move without getting legal advice.

Employment Contracts Employment contracts which are carefully drafted can address potential problems before they arise. Contracts often define the employment relationship, including each of the parties' duties and responsibilities and the legal entitlements upon termination.
Employment contracts are becoming increasingly common. Unfortunately, many employees are unaware that it is important to get legal advice before signing, and unwittingly giving up important rights.
Irving Solnik and his hand picked staff have experience in drafting, negotiating and litigating many employment contracts. Employment contracts can have a significant impact on an employee's rights, so it is important to get proper and expert advice before signing anything. The value of legal consultation outweighs the cost when you are negotiating an employment contract. There are also many defences in the enforceability of a contract.

IRVING SOLNIK STATES DEFINITIVELY:
"SPOUSES BEWARE! WOULD YOU ENJOY WATCHING YOUR SPOUSE, MALE OR FEMALE SEX, YANKED OFF TO JAIL? EITHER OF YOU COULD BE JAILED SIMPLY FOR ARGUING!”
SOUNDS IMPOSSIBLE? IT IS'NT. LET ME PROVE IT TO YOU! AND WHEN YOU NEED LEGAL HELP CALL ME IMMEDIATELY AT: (416) 932-8509
IF TO-DAY OR ANYTIME YOU ARGUE WITH YOUR SPOUSE AND ONE OR BOTH OF YOU BECOME ANGRY, SLAP, THREATEN, ASSAULT, LIGHTLY TOUCH THE OTHER IN ANY WAY OR KISS EACH OTHER, YOU CAN BE ARRESTED BY THE POLICE (IF THEY ARE CALLED), FACE SERIOUS CRIMINAL CHARGES, BE PUT ON TRIAL AND END UP IN JAIL WITH A CRIMINAL RECORD-OR WORSE!
WHEN TWO PEOPLE-ESPECIALLY SPOUSES, MARRIED OR COMMON LAW, ARGUE,-ONE OF YOU-EVEN BOTH OF YOU COULD BE CHARGED, ARRESTED, BE PUT ON TRIAL AND EVEN JAILED.
IN THE EVENT OF CONVICTION HE OR SHE WILL HAVE A CRIMINAL RECORD AND FOREVER BE LISTED IN THE REGISTRY FOR SEX OFFENDERS IF THE CHARGE HAD SEXUAL OVERTONES- ALL THE RESULT OF AN ARGUMENT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED!
NOW I WILL SHOW YOU HOW SPOUSES CAN BE EASILY JAILED!
WHEN A SPOUSE BECOMES ANGRY AND THREATENS, EVEN LIGHTLY TOUCHS, OR WORSE, ASSAULTS THE OTHER DURING THE COURSE OF AN ARGUMENT OR DISAGREEMENT, WHAN CAN HAPPEN?
ONE OR BOTH OF COULD WELL BE PUT IN JAIL BY THE POLICE! AND IT DOES’NT MATTER WHETHER IT IS THE HUSBAND OR THE WIFE!
AS A LAWYER WHO PRACTICES CRIMINAL LAW I HAVE DEFENDED MANY SPOUSES-MEN AND WOMEN WHO FACED DIRE PENALTIES UNWITTINGLY BECAUSE OF THEIR ANGER.
Married or in a common law relationship? Have both BOTH OF YOU been in an argument with each other and threatened, assaulted or physically touched the other spouse in anger even though neither has been physically hurt?
Has a spouse attacked the other with a cup, plate, any other small or seemingly inconsequential object or act-even a kiss? Have words been said in anger that may be interpreted as a threat?
There are many things that can happen when spouses argue and then threaten or assault one the other even in a minor way.
The aggressor spouse can be charged by police under the criminal code with threatening, assaulting and other crime, even sexual offences. What’s more the aggressor spouse is often arrested and taken to jail, held for in cell for several hours and even overnight or longer before he or she may be released on bail.
Then he or she will be required to be in court to set a date for a trial-at which they may be convicted and face penalties from fines to time in jail.
There is a zero tolerance policy for threatening and/or assault by one spouse of the other even though the ultimate penalty was not contemplated let alone desired by either one, especially the spouse who was threatened or worse.
Now the problem becomes much more serious and expensive because the spouse who was charged by the police must retain a criminal lawyer to defend him or her. It does not matter whether it was the husband or wife who has been charged.
The charged spouse could even end up with a criminal record. And if the assault was sexual in nature, the charged spouse’s name will forever be listed in the registry of sex offenders-even if the charge is withdrawn, dismissed and even if the charged person was found not guilty at a trial.
As a lawyer who also practices criminal and family law I have found such criminal charges are increasing rapidly in frequency.
‘I have been successful the vast majority of the time in most charge dismissed or withdrawn by the Crown attorney especially if a peace bond is put up and signed by the spouse that was charged, depending on the nature and seriousness of the crime.’
Furthermore if the charge is of a sexual nature and even if the crown withdraws or dismisses the charge or the court finds the aggressor innocent, your name is forever thereafter list the registry of sexual offenders.
This will follow you all your life-and as such it will readily and horrifically effect your future-education, employment, credit and a myriad of other vital matters.
Arguably the best Toronto lawyer, Irving Solnik also focuses on criminal law, the defence of criminal acts of all kinds-from most serious crimes to crimes committed by spouse against the other even when they did not realize the potentially serious consequences that could follow and last a lifetime.
Facing a criminal charge obviously creates fear, anxiety and the unknown. Such arise usually from lack of knowledge and understanding what lies ahead. It is common when one lacks the ability and knowledge to objectively assess their situations and this can prevent you from making the right decisions to deal with your problem effectively
Always rememer the following: WHEN QUESTIONED BY THE POLICE, REMAIN SILENT
‘I will attempt to provide you with the knowledge required to determine what course of action is best for you. Always remember that you are presumed innocent until and unless you are proven guilty.’
You do not need to prove your innocence-it is up to the crown to prove you are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The burden of proof lies with the Crown. Of course, knowing the source of information is almost as important as the information itself.
As a lawyer I have represented clients, including spouses, charged with a variety of offences-from minor to major. I have been a Toronto lawyer for many years and have never lost a criminal case-the word “lose” is not in my vocabulary and I always do whatever it takes.

First examine the reason for your need of a lawyer. Is it a commonplace matter such as buying or selling a home?
Or is it a serious matter that justifies the deep concern you feel-such as the threat of a possible divorce or perhaps you have not filed an income tax return and/or you have not paid taxes on the income you made. Or is some other legal matter that troubles and concerns you?
The first thing you should do is find and retain a lawyer who can work with you and alleviate all the pain you feel-very much like a fine physician would do.
You need the right lawyer. However finding the right lawyer is often virtually a trial itself and can be fraught with pitfalls.
You obviously need a tough, fearless and experienced lawyer who always does whatever it takes-a premier lawyer and a lawyer who is one of the best for your legal problems.
‘I am the lawyer you need and you can avoid the trial of finding the right lawyer by retaining me. I am tough, fearless, indefatigable and one of the best in my profession.’
There is little law that I have not practiced-from commonplace matters such as buying or selling a house to highly complex and serious matters such as evading income taxes or other complex matters that entail civil and/or criminal litigation.
Let me explain. I have been a Toronto lawyer for many years during which I became familiar with most matters that seriously trouble clients and in all likelihood that which troubles you.
‘And you are not alone. Whatever is of deep concern to you is in all likelihood a legal problem or matter that I have previously encountered and I am familiar with it or similar problems.’

The Pain Of Legal Problems Is Horrific!
The Pain Caused By Existing Or Threatening Legal Problems Or Matters Including Divorce And Income Tax Is Horrific And Can Cause Excruciating Pain And Worse!
Irving Solnik, the brilliant lawyer is also a healer who can can remedy and heal the source of your pain caused by legal problems, often quickly and rid you of the pain-if you let him!
The life of a tough busy lawyer and some of fascinating cases in most fields of law is revealed in this post for the first time ever. The post also contains an important caveat-"When Divorce Threatens."
In such cases the true tragedies are almost invariably the children because more and more either or both parents use the children as pawns-mostly to wreak vengeance on each other.
As a result the pain caused by the legal problems is horrific especially on the children but also on the parent who does not use the children as a pawn as the other parent does.
If divorces or any legal problem threatens, you will quickly find out what you must do.
I recommend that you quickly retain a lawyer-one who is tough, indefatigable and always does whatever it takes. It need not be me but whoever it is must be as I am, tough, indefatigable and all else necessary to succeed.
I know only to well whereof I write. My ex wife kidnapped our two young sons after I won custody and after well over six years most of which were spent in courts and hearings that cost me millions of dollars; I became what I am now-tough, aggressive, fearless and more.
Only my adversaries need to be concerned because of my tenacious persistence, aggressiveness, fearless, knowledge, strategies and tactics I created and utilize-in the courts and at the negotiating tables.
My clients on the other hand will find me compassionate, patient and deeply concerned about them at all times.
IRVING SOLNIK IS A TOUGH, BRILLIANT TORONTO LAWYER, A LEGAL GENIUS AND THE BEST YOU WILL EVER FIND! HE PRACTICES TAX LAW (income tax and amnesty), WRONGFUL DISMISSAL, FAMILY LAW (divorce and related issues), CIVIL LAW (companies, business, ventures, torts, contracts and agreements), MEDICAL MALPRACTICE and CRIMINAL LAW (serious crimes only), CIVIL AND CRIMINAL LITIGATION AND MOST AREAS OF LAW!

AN IMPORTANT CAVEAT ABOUT DIVORCE:
Why You Need And Why You Should Get A Lawyer If The Possibility Of A Divorce Exists!
Know Your Rights and Obligations Before Its Too Late Especially When There are Children!
Getting divorced is a frustrating and expensive time. First you must try to find the right lawyer who is tough and experienced and who provides personal service including returning your calls promptly.
Then you must chase your Ex to sign paperwork if the divorce is not contested! It's HARD, frustrating and expensive. Also then you must deal with heartache, difficulty in concentrating and the inevitable pain caused by divorce. I am certain you know what I mean.
"Get a lawyer" is often the first thing that someone facing divorce is advised by family and friends.
For the person whose life has just gone off track, who wants more than anything to get back to "life as usual," that advice can seem cold. The reality is that legal advice and help is critical even if all it involves is a preliminary consultation.
Contacting a lawyer should not signal a bloody war between spouses but rather to protect each person's interests at a very stressful and emotional time. Yet a bloody signal is almost invariably made and all too often when there are children.
Here's what ONE CLIENT wrote regarding the advice to newcomers to RETAIN A LAWYER. "I am reconciled with my husband."
That said, my first advice is still usually "get a lawyer-know your rights and responsibilities." The reason for this is that many people who wind up with lawyer are not necessarily getting divorced -- they are being divorced.
"Can you forgive him or her" is irrelevant when the other spouse doesn't give a damn if you forgive them, beg, plead, crawl or just go away and die.
"When we were first starting our divorce, I was unemployed, but we had savings, I had the house, and I knew I would get a job. I wasn't worried about being homeless or starving, or any of the things that seem to traumatize people at the beginning of this process. "
Divorce is an emotional, thought-provoking time in people's lives, and unfortunately, that is usually NOT the best time to be making decisions that could have life-long consequences.
Unfortunately, that is how this process works. Since it is a legal process that can occur totally without someone's consent, having a third party who is emotionally neutral but legally advocating for you can make worlds of difference. It takes two people to make or save a marriage -- it only takes one to get a divorce.
Many times, the spouse who has asked for the divorce has already done their emotional separating, their "grieving" for the end of the marriage, and their research on just how to get out.
The spouse that gets the surprise "I want a divorce" starts out already behind the 8-ball.
When people come here asking, "What will happen to me?", "Can he throw me out of my house?", "Can she take my kids away from me?" Can he keep everything because I haven't worked outside the home in 15 years?" Then my first advice will still be "Get a lawyer."
Reconciliation, counseling, etc. can happen at any point in the process, but the time to protect yourself now is to cover your unprotected behind, you’re a$$ (rear), before you get frostbite.
When you get a lawyer, retain the right one-a lawyer who is tough and experienced and who always does whatever it takes, is fearless, indefatigable and a formidable opponent. Need I say more?

Because of his awesome abilities, experience he is Toronto's topgun lawyer, a master legal strategist and legal genius.
He always does whatever it takes, never gives up, is fearless and practices virtually most aspects of law-from commonplace matters such as: real estate, divorce, custody, child abduction and immigration for example on the one hand and libel, slander, intellectual law, taxation and other highly complex serious matters including civil/criminal litigation.

And he practices what he believes-"Justice for all in any legal matter."
His knowledge in many arenas of law and other subjects is extensive and his tongue can be more cutting than a lash-an invaluable tool in law.
No matter what category of law is involved he is at ease when practicing it for he us quite familiar with the law in general and most of its categories.
When you need a tough lawyer who never gives up and always does whatever it takes with no holds barred contact him.
No matter what the legal issue or problem is, he is more than capable of looking after it to your complete satisfaction.
He became a tough lawyer and major legal strategist to literally survive because he was personally pitted against several of the finest and most expensive lawyers in the USA and Canada who acted for his ex wife after they were divorced.
Yet he still won custody of his two young sons, no matter because of the skills, experience and exceptionally large retainers his adversaries commanded.
Some of his many strengths are litigation (he is an outstanding and charismatic public speaker), family law in all its aspects, having personally been involved in a nightmare divorce and custody case that lasted over six years and his strengths extends to many other areas of law as well. His persistence is legend.
His ex-wife illegally abducted-kidnapped-their two sons twice after he was awarded sole custody of them because the Court decided that it was in their best interests that he have custody-in what may be well the toughest and most expensive custody case in history.
The case went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada and the court refused to hear it. The appeal was made by his ex-wife backed by her multi-millionaire parents and the refusal of the Court to hear it meant that the decision of the Court of Appeal was upheld. However this did not deter his ex wife, her parents and other conspirators from kidnapping them again.
It is truly a tale of horror and horrendous in many ways so much so that it was only recently that he gained the emotional strength to write about it.
His ex father-in-law was estimated to be worth several hundred million dollars although he stated when cross examined as a witness that he was not worth several hundred million dollars but a lesser sum.
Be that as it may, his former father in law retained for his ex-wife-his daughter, the law firm of Vinson, Elkins of Houston, believed by many to be the most poweful law firm in the world (and for good reason-details are available on request). Vinson, Elkins participated in the kidnapping of my two young sons.
Not only did they create the plan for the kidnapping together with other evil conspirators some of whom were highly placed individuals-a law professor, doctors, politicians, a reporter, a chief of police and even court officials to name but a few.
Complete histories, names and actions of the conspirators are in the process of being written in detail.
A front page feature story in the Globe & Mail at the time had headlines that blared "Millions Spent On Custody Row."
He learned more about law, litigation, strategies, tactics and court protocol during what seemed forever -six years in courts both in Texas andd Ontario-more than most lawyers learn in a lifetime.
You an read about it at:
http://myabductedsons.blogspot.co
To state that he was stunned beyond belief when he found out who all the conspirators were is a gross understatement.
The one saving grace was that a Judge, in Ontario, a rarity-a truly honest man who was to hear part of the lawsuit called and advised him that he had been offered a bribe by a former chief of police but refused to accept it.
He then called to find out if Mr. Solnik wanted him to recuse himself from being the presiding judge. He thanked him and asked that he remain as the judge and he did so.
Irving Solnik won every court battle but lost the war because after his sons were kidnapped again. He could not locate them anywhere and it is now some 20 years since he saw or heard of them.
The pain has not diminished but now he can finally at least talk and write about it.
You might note that I am a tough but compassionate lawyer and wholly devoted to my clients. My patience is legend as is my persistence and tenacity.
