Stephen D. Marshall Has Been Recognized Among the Top in His Industry by the Expert Network©
The Expert Network celebrates its newest member, Attorney Stephen D. Marshall
St. John's, NL, August 10, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Stephen D. Marshall, Partner, Roebothan, McKay, Marshall, has joined The Expert Network, an invitation only service for distinguished professionals. Mr. Marshall has been chosen as a Distinguished Lawyer™ based on peer reviews and ratings, dozens of recognitions, and accomplishments achieved throughout his career.
Mr. Marshall outshines others in his field due to his extensive educational background, numerous awards and recognitions, and career longevity. He received his Bachelor of Commerce from Memorial University of Newfoundland and went on to earn his LL.B. from the University of New Brunswick in 1985. The honors he received during his law degree include: Dean George A. MacAllister, Q.C. Scholarship for Academic Excellence; Canadian Bar Association Scholarship for Academic Excellence; Carswell Law Book Company prize for highest mark in Administrative Law; and being selected to represent UNB Law School at the 1984 annual Gale Cup national moot court competition at Osgoode Hall Law School, Toronto.
"Some of the provinces here in Canada and some states in the U.S. have gone to a no fault scheme of compensation for victims of vehicular negligence. We fought that successfully a dozen years ago and we are prepared to fight it again because it's simply not fair. And contrary to the way they try to sell it, the insurance premiums do not go down. If anything, they go up because it costs a lot of money to administer that system. As a result, the people who are injured don't get compensated fairly."

With 30 years dedicated to law, Mr. Marshall brings a wealth of knowledge to his industry, and in particular to his areas of specialization, personal injury law, wrongful death cases, real estate law, and product liability. When asked why he decided to pursue a career in law, Mr. Marshall said:
"There were some mandatory classes that I needed to take in order to obtain my Bachelor’s in commerce that were dedicated to law as opposed to quantitative analysis or accounting. They felt right to me and I found them fairly easy and natural. I enjoyed debating and logical reasoning, I enjoyed discovering all sides of an argument and not just my side of it. This prompted me to write my LSAT and I did pretty well on that as well."
As a thought-leader in his field, Mr. Marshall keeps his finger on the pulse of law by immersing himself in numerous professional organizations within his industry. When he isn’t busy fighting on behalf of his clients at his firm, he is often contributing invaluable insight to the Canadian Bar Association and Atlantic Provinces Trial Lawyers Association. As compassionate as he is diligent, Mr. Marshall is currently paying special attention to miscarriages of justice in insurance law. He noted:
"Some of the provinces here in Canada and some states in the U.S. have gone to a no fault scheme of compensation for victims of vehicular negligence. We fought that successfully a dozen years ago and we are prepared to fight it again because it's simply not fair. And contrary to the way they try to sell it, the insurance premiums do not go down. If anything, they go up because it costs a lot of money to administer that system. As a result, the people who are injured don't get compensated fairly."
Mr. Marshall is a member of the Law Society of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canadian Bar Association, and the Atlantic Provinces Trial Lawyers Association. He is admitted to practice in Newfoundland and Labrador, the Federal Court of Canada, the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador (Trial Division and Court of Appeal), and the Provincial Court of Newfoundland and Labrador including Criminal, Traffic, and Small Claims Divisions.
