About Us
About Troy Lehman
A graduate of the University of Western Ontario law school, Troy was called to the bar in 2001. Troy received the highest mark on the Bar Admission course by anyone from Western University. Troy joined Oatley Vigmond in 2006 and became partner in 2010.
Troy takes great satisfaction in helping seriously injured people and their families through difficult times. The cases that Troy finds most gratifying are the difficult cases where there is a need to be especially creative and determined to obtain the compensation that his clients need. His satisfaction comes when he has helped make a real difference in someone’s life in a situation that looked bleak in the beginning.
What Troy enjoys most about personal injury law is that he is working as part of a team to help rebuild lives following catastrophe. As a personal injury lawyer working for seriously injured clients, Troy’s job is to help restore meaningful lives.
Troy is the proud father of three busy boys.
