Brad J. Wallace
Called to the Ontario Bar in 2002, Brad has experience on both sides of the decision-maker’s dais. He served for eight years as an Adjudicator with the Landlord and Tenant Board, where he presided over approximately 1,500 hearings annually, and later served as an Adjudicator with the Licence Appeal Tribunal. This experience gives him valuable insight into how decision-makers assess evidence, arguments, and credibility.
Brad’s career also includes private practice, community legal clinic work, and teaching law-related courses at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. He believes clients should never be left guessing about their legal matters. Brad works to ensure each client understands the objectives of the case, its current status, and what to expect next.
