Our Firm
Since our founding in 1981, we have built a reputation as one of Ontario’s most successful personal injury boutique law firms. Our lawyers have helped thousands of people injured as a result of motor vehicle collisions, slip & falls, medical malpractice & product liability cases. We are often retained by accident victims in the most high-profile injury cases in our community. We only represent people and never represent insurers or product manufacturers. Our lawyers have extensive experience at the Superior Court of Justice as well as at the Court of Appeal.
Our cause is to help those who suffer injury and injustice. We take pride in our passionate commitment to obtain for our respected clients full and meaningful compensation for the physical and financial impacts of their injuries by providing them with cutting-edge, high-value service and advocacy. Our goal is to fearlessly and valiantly champion the cause of each of our clients to the fullest extent achievable under our legal system.
