What Others Say
Jan Schell
To: Brent Ellingson
I am pleased with the outcome of my case and pleased that Brent advised that we try to settle at much lower amount than I had imagined possible. The offer was accepted. I felt I was kept in the loop and my concerns for the case heard. Thanks Brent.

I didn’t know how and where to start. I started calling and emailing lawyers but didn’t receive any positive response. Finally, I met with Brent Ellingson, best man for the job. Brent is a man of commitment and professionalism. He is not just a lawyer, but is a good guide, answers your questions immediately with proper legal sections, keeps you updated about your case. I will highly recommend Varty & Company for your legal issues.

Before Brent, we had legal counsel with 3 other attorneys in the Vancouver area only to have spent thousands of dollars with no guidance or result. Brent is thorough, trustworthy and hardworking in representing the best interests of my wife and me in a difficult family litigation case. We would recommend friends and clients to Brent with confidence.
