Our History
Our founder, the pioneering personal injury lawyer Bernie Simpson, C.M., who helped establish the use of structured settlements and ensured the Bike Helmet Legislation was enacted into law in British Columbia, established Simpson & Company in 1970. In 2001, he partnered with well-known personal injury lawyer Anthony Thomas, widely respected for his role in the famous “Jago wedding case,” to create Simpson, Thomas & Associates.

Mel Chaudhary was my representative from Simpson Thomas and Associates. He worked on my case for several years and I was very pleased with his level of patience and dedication. Mel takes an active interest in his clients and shows genuine concern for each case. He is a dependable lawyer who can offer both compassion and gratifying results. I believe that no other lawyer could have represented my case better to bring such a favorable outcome.

We were very fortunate to have Simpson, Thomas & Associates recommended to us. Our lawyer, Stephen Yung, is caring, skilled, and honest. He also has a good sense of humor which we think is vital in stressful situations. Whenever we had questions or concerns Stephen and his team got back to us quickly. We especially appreciated his willingness to schedule meetings to minimize time away from work, which reduced the stress of the situation. As our case progressed, Stephen clearly explained our options and gave us good advice when we asked for it. This put our minds at ease and enabled us to make the decisions we needed to. We always felt he was fighting for us, have no doubt his work resulted in a fair settlement. We would not hesitate to recommend Stephen and the firm to friends and family.
