Our Team
Meet the team that believes taking on your claim is an honour and a privilege. Together, we bring to the table extensive Vancouver personal injury law experience, well-rounded expertise and an insider’s understanding of ICBC.
Del Feller – Senior Personal Injury Lawyer
For over 35 years, Del Feller has made handling personal injury and ICBC claims his specialty. In addition to being a personal injury lawyer in Vancouver, Del served as a RCMP officer gaining extensive knowledge of BC’s traffic control laws—and how accidents are investigated by the police and ICBC. It comes as no surprise that Del is exceptionally proficient in analyzing traffic accident circumstances and the resulting injuries.
Ever since his firm was created in 1974 in Vancouver, Del has been successfully working against ICBC and standing up for the rights of accident victims. Del is passionate about obtaining a fair settlement for his clients, and he isn’t afraid to take a claim to trial.
Del is an active volunteer and served on the board for the Western Canada Society to Access Justice, a non-profit organization offering pro bono legal services. Del has also made a substantial contribution to provincial legislation involving the removal of the limitation period for victims of sexual abuse.
Simon Murphy – Personal Injury Lawyer
Simon has been a practicing personal injury lawyer in Vancouver, concentrating on ICBC claims since his call to the Bar in 2000. Simon has unique insight into handling personal injury claims due to his experience acting for both sides—not only does he currently represent accident victims, but also he has previously defended claims on behalf of ICBC.
In his years of practice, Simon has acquired extensive Supreme Court trial experience, including jury trials, and is always prepared to take your ICBC claim to trial if a fair settlement cannot be achieved.

Zachary J.D. Vilvang
Zack was born and raised in Vancouver, BC before heading east to London, Ontario and the University of Western Ontario where he obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science.
To begin his quest in law, Zack attended Bond University on the Gold Coast of Australia where he obtained his Juris Doctor law degree. While in Law School, he participated in various moot competitions and completed a course “The Law in the People’s Republic of China” in which he visited China and studied briefly at the College of Law at Chongqing University.
