From the first interview my case was handled in a professional way. Robert Govaert helped me recover over 20 years of retroactive pension and supplementary benefits for life. The extra monthly benefits really help me in my retirement.
Two lawyers refused to take my case. Robert Govaert was honest and gave me hope when I was frustrated and ready to give up. He always took the time to explain everything to me as the proceeding progressed and he helped me win everything I was entitled to. I would highly recommend Robert Govaert.
I was totally disabled following my work related motor vehicle accident (MVA), and I was allowed Canada Pension Plan (CPP) disability benefits and long term disability benefits, but the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) determined that I was fit to return to work and closed my file. I was unsuccessful with my appeals with a WSIB lawyer and a paralegal for over 5 years, until another injured worker recommended Robert Govaert from Workers Compensation Advocate in Toronto. Robert Govaert took my WSIB case and helped prove that I was not fit to return to work after my work related MVA injury and I recovered 7 years of retroactive benefits and ongoing monthly benefits to age 65 from WSIB. If your WSIB benefits were reduced, stopped or cut off, I highly recommend you contact Robert Govaert, from Workers Compensation Advocate in Toronto.
When I first met Robert Govaert, I believed in my heart that he was the person to help me and he gave me hope not to give up. Robert's knowledge and experience helped prove that I was not fit to return to work and won my case at the Tribunal. If you are an injured worker, don't waste time and find a way to call Robert Govaert to help you.
