My goal as a Member of Provincial Parliament, an Ontario citizen or your Legal Representative has always been to serve the needs of the community through knowledge, transparency and action. FullForce Legal Services was created to bridge the gap between the people who can afford to investigate and fight their legal battles and the people who have never had the opportunity. We believe that our unique approach to the law offers that”
