For many years, Andi had the privilege of practicing alongside William Berardino, Q.C., one of British Columbia’s most respected barristers. He challenged her not to specialize but instead to take on a broad array of cases, noting that, while the law is always changing, a general practice trial lawyer will develop advocacy skills that will remain constant. Andi took Bill’s advice, gaining a broad range of expertise which has proven to be invaluable when guiding clients through multi-faceted challenges.
