Julian, born in Wales but raised in Grimsby, is now a proud longstanding Hamiltonian.
Julian obtained his Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees at the University of Waterloo. He then went on to obtain law degrees from both the University of Windsor and the University of Detroit Mercy.
Julian was called to the Ontario Bar in 1997 and has practiced exclusively in the areas of plaintiff personal injury and insurance defence litigation since then. He has effectively represented numerous injured MVA and slip and fall victims with their accident benefits and pain and suffering tort claims. He also represented numerous insurance company clients for roughly 18 years.
Julian initially worked in Toronto for several years, prior to spending almost 15 years at a large Hamilton litigation firm, where he was a partner for 11 years. Since January 2019, he has engaged exclusively in plaintiff personal injury work, focusing primarily on MVA victims.
