Oatley Vigmond Wins “Judges’ Choice” at Charity Lip-Sync Battle
Oatley Vigmond Wins “Judges’ Choice” at Charity Lip-Sync Battle
An energetic quartet of Oatley Vigmond lawyers enacted their best ‘KISS’ impersonations at Habitat Huronia’s 2018 Casa SIP SAVOUR SING event on Thursday September 13th.
Billed as an “epic lip-sync battle”, the evening certainly lived up to expectations, all the while raising funds to help Habit Huronia build 5 new homes in 2019.
Born and raised in Brantford, Ontario, Jim Vigmond is Oatley Vigmond’s founding and managing partner. Brought up in a hardworking Canadian family, Jim’s work ethic was instilled in him by his parents. His father was a tool and die maker turned teacher; his mother, a retail store manager. Jim’s father built their family home himself, and both his parents believed in setting an example for their children defined by humility, hard work and integrity. Jim attributes his ability to connect with his clients to the fact that many of them come from similarly modest backgrounds. “There’s no filter needed when you’re dealing with me,” says Jim. “I am who I am.”
Troy Lehman joined Oatley Vigmond in 2006 and became a partner in 2010. As a personal injury lawyer, his greatest satisfaction comes from helping people through to the other side of a difficult time in their lives. “We’re here to help and relieve stress,” Troy says. “When I walk into a first meeting with a client, people are often scared and anxious. And for me, the best thing that can happen at the end of the meeting is that they say, ‘I feel so much better.’
