When my son was charged with a DUI it affected the whole family. Stress and worry over his future and whether he would end up losing his job and with a criminal record that could severely impact his future. I emailed Michael Shapray and asked for his legal opinion. The charge happened over the Christmas holidays and Michael contacted me immediately from his son’s hockey tournament. During our telephone conversation, Michael offered some real hope and we decided to ask him to represent my son. Michael did everything for him, including all court appearances. My son never had to see the inside of a courtroom. I would truly like to thank Michael Shapray and his Associates for all their hard work in defending my son. This charge could have severely affected his future but Michael was able to work with the Crown Prosecutor and they came to an agreement on a short driving ban and a small fine. No criminal record to affect his future. He has learned a huge lesson and will take it with him moving forward. Every time we had to contact Michael he was ready and available. He was always professional and very courteous. I strongly recommend Michael Shapray for your legal needs.

Michael
I just wanted to thank you again for all your hard work in preparing for our hearing yesterday. You had a plan from day 1 and followed it perfectly. Thank you for your wisdom and guidance in my case. We received an “unusually” quick and easy decision because of your work.

I retained Mr. Shapray as my lawyer after I discovered a 13-year-old outstanding charge on my record while I was in the process of applying for documents to travel abroad.
I retained Mr. Shapray on a Thursday, the following Tuesday he contacted the Crown Attorney, on Wednesday the charges were stayed.
As far as I’m concerned the only thing that matters are results. Mr. Shapray not only got the best results, his timely attention to this matter sets him far apart from others in his field.
The most amazing thing is, he did this all with a newly broken ankle!

I had the absolute privilege of being represented by Jennifer Currie in fighting off an IRP that was issued to me, and I can say with complete confidence that she’s one of the finest lawyers you could ever have in your corner.
From the very start, Jennifer stood by me like a rock. Our case faced more than a few hurdles — from contesting a sworn police disclosure report that included a flawed version of what actually transpired the night of the incident to a one-month delay after we filed the appeal because Road Safety BC went on strike. Yet, she never once lost focus or drive. Through countless phone calls, assessments, and re-assessments, Jennifer drilled into every single detail of my case with precision and purpose.
Jennifer is sharp, fiercely passionate, and exceptionally thorough. Having dealt with lawyers before on various civil matters, I can say this with experience: there’s often a point where you are directly or indirectly reminded that you’re stretching the scope of work. That moment never came with Jennifer. She genuinely cares, gives her all, and gets the job done.
If you’re facing an IRP or even think your chances are slim, Jennifer Currie is the person you want on your side in the Lower Mainland. She’s simply outstanding.

Hi Michael,
I just wanted to drop a quick note and thank you for what you have done. While the result was obviously paramount, I appreciate as much your calming tone from the onset. This past year and half was perhaps the most difficult time I have ever had. Thanks again…
Cheers
