HERE TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER.
Wittman Litigation opened its doors in July 2021 during the shifting environment of automobile insurance in British Columbia, which became a “no-fault” jurisdiction in May 2021. Drawing from his previous litigation experience in the auto insurance context, his mentorship from the partners of an established New Westminster law firm of 30 years, and his trial experience, Stefan Wittman made the move to downtown Vancouver to expand his practice and offer a full suite of legal services to clients in need.
STEFAN WITTMAN
Stefan Wittman obtained his joint JD/MBA degree from the University of Victoria in 2014 and worked at Scarborough Herman Bluekens as an articling student and associate until opening Wittman Litigation in July 2021. He has appeared at all levels of Court in British Columbia, representing clients in motor vehicle accident claims, contractual disputes, and other insurance matters.
Prior to articling, Stefan worked at the BC Securities Commission on an interprovincial derivatives regulation project. At law school, he volunteered with the Victoria chapter of Pro Bono Students Canada and maintains an active pro bono practice through his enrolment with the Barristers’ Roster Program with Access Pro Bono.
Stefan is also active in the community for disability advocacy and is currently the Chair of the Board of Directors at Plan Institute. Learn more about Plan and Plan Institute and in particular their role in the Canada Disability Benefit initiative and the Disability Without Poverty movement.

“Where do I begin, I highly recommend hiring Stefan as your representation because he is not only incredible at what he does, he genuinely cares about his clients. I had a high profile settlement and Stefan handled everything exceptionally. If I had to make the decision again, I would make the same one 10X over. I could not have asked for better representation. Stefan is exceptional and I feel blessed that he took on my case.”
