Brian Wentzell

Both complaints against St. John’s lawyer Brian Wentzell were connected to his representation of the owners of a Grand Falls-Windsor bowling alley a decade ago. The two business partners brought a negligence lawsuit against the town after the bowling alley was damaged in a series of floods. The bowling alley insurers also launched a lawsuit against the town, claiming the covered losses. The law society argued the tribunal had made a mistake in dismissing the first complaint given Wentzell’s testimony wasn’t consistent with much of the evidence and he had admitted liability when his ex-clients sued him.
