About
Speaking on his character and professionalism, former British Columbia attorney general Wally Oppal, a close friend and colleague, remarked on Bolton’s resilience and commitment to justice. According to Oppal, despite Bolton’s health challenges, he endeavored to continue his practice and serve his clients till he was ultimately hospitalized. Michael Bolton, called to the bar in 1969, quickly garnered respect for his persistent and thorough approach to legal defense. By 1987, his dedication was recognized with his appointment as Queen’s Counsel. He continued to be a powerful advocate in the courtroom, handling cases related to alleged corruption and international legal disputes through his boutique law firm in Vancouver.
Education
Oppal, who met Bolton in law school, said Bolton — a former journalist — had great skill at questioning witnesses.
