Reference letter dated April 17th 2007

excerpts from Nanaimo lawyer Ted Beaubier's reference letter...

I have been a practicing lawyer in Nanaimo since 1971.  Since 1981, the emphasis of my practice has been in the area of criminal prosecutions and civil litigation. 

 

... Mr. Paauwe’s personal characteristics, education and work experience has made him (a) uniquely qualified ... ...  consultant assisting in civil litigation. 

 

... He has an unsurpassable work ethic and understands completely the legal system and the complexity and nuances that can arise in civil litigation. 

 

... He has the ability to do legal research at a high level, to gather relative evidence and put together case summaries of a very high calibre. 

 

... a recent case ... involved a complicated legal argument on a Petition to vary a building scheme; Mr. Paauwe was invaluable in marshalling evidence and preparing lengthy witness affidavits.  

 

Mr. Paauwe’s understanding of the legal process and the nature and quality of evidence required resulted in the necessity of very little, if any, editing of the evidence put together by Mr. Paauwe.  My client was successful in this case.

Re: Reference for Michael Paauwe, Nanaimo, BC

 

... I worked closely with Mr. Paauwe for a total of 8 years.

 

... I found him to be a skillful business negotiator, technically very capable in dealing with all legal aspects of complex business transactions, particularly with his background training and natural orientation to detail work.

Michael displayed a strong sense of honesty and integrity in all the corporate business dealings with which he was involved during those years and I enjoyed working with him very much.

 

I would have no hesitation in giving Michael my highest recommendation.

By way of background, I am a practicing lawyer of 25 years standing ( Law Society of Alberta, 1981; Law Society of British Columbia, 1986) and am currently the head of the Securities and Mergers & Acquisitions Group at Koffman Kalef.


Yours truly,

Testimonial from the owner of an established Nanaimo business

February 27^th 2007

I hired Mike Paauwe to help my late father and family with complicated business and financial problems. Poor professional advice from others had resulted in my family being unable to collect on two sets of promissory notes totalling over $550,000. Other potentially valuable business assets were also at risk of loss to the banks at the time, until we hired Mike Paauwe. Mike helped me legally secure, protect and recover these important corporate business assets. They subsequently became extremely valuable and my family still owns them today.

Mike helped my father's company overturn a $27,000 income tax assessment on appeal.

Through a series of legal and financial steps, Mike helped my family recover $300,000 in otherwise uncollectible business promissory notes we were owed.

He also also helped us to collect a $250,000 debt from a former business partner, who had hidden his assets to avoid repayment.

Mike worked tirelessly on all these business problems and helped us immensely as a result.

I confidently recommend Mike Paauwe as a skilled financial business consultant, able to help solve complicated business tax, financial, accounting and legal business problems.

Testimonial of Karen Wheatcroft, accountant, Burnaby BC

extracts of reference letter

February 2, 2007

A few years ago I sold my house and was later sued by the Buyers. .... It was extremely upsetting for me. .........

 

Michael was able to zero in on exactly what the important evidence was. He laid it out in a simple summary that helped me prepare for questions and give my testimony with confidence at the trial. He helped me win by assembling the correct evidence, by helping me be better organized and to stay calm.

 

I could not have succeeded  without Michael’s help.

 

I'd strongly recommend Michael Paauwe to anyone who has these kinds of problems.

 

Sincerely,

 

Karen Wheatcroft,

accountant

Burnaby BC
