About SMT Lawyers

HISTORY

Spilker McNally Tucker is a partnership that began as a collaboration between Richard Spilker and Bill McNally in 2013. Both had been practicing law for over 30 years, and were senior counsel in the practice of litigation when they decided to form the partnership. Mike Tucker also joined the firm in 2013, and became a partner in the firm in 2018. Richard Spilker retired that same year and subsequently Bill McNally retired in 2021.

Since starting in 2013, SMT has successfully advocated on behalf of hundreds of clients across B.C. and Alberta. In particular, they have taken large personal injury claims to mediation or trial with settlements as large as $5 million+ for a single case.

When the firm began, the main focus was personal injury claims. However, as the result of the success and expanding business, the law firm now offers a wide range of litigation services, ranging from commercial litigation, property disputes, intellectual property and trademark issues and more. Basically, anything that might involve going to court, except for family and criminal matters.

In 2022 the firm welcomed Trent Zoobkoff to the team, bringing with him significant enthusiasm and experience in various areas of civil practice, adding to our expanding business and services.

Our boutique firm operates out of offices in Nelson, BC to service the whole of BC and Alberta.

Vision

Mike and Trent would like to continue to offer top legal services to people in the Kootenay region. Their vision is to improve their services, expand their knowledge of the law, and to train new lawyers and paralegals to a high level of competence.
