Andrew Franklin

I’ve always wanted to serve and help people

Service to others matters to me. I have always been a problem solver. After completing my graduate degree in neuroscience, I worked in research studying the environmental causes of Autism Spectrum Disorders.

I pursued a career in law to help others solve legal problems. My passion for science and medicine led me to work on cases involving people facing medical issues, injuries, and disabilities.

Within 6 years I became a partner at Matthews Abogado LLP in Toronto. My service to others continues and I remain deeply committed to helping people. I strive to demonstrate the highest level of care, compassion in every Long Term Disability (LTD) case I manage.

It’s about making things right for you and your family

I’ve always wanted to be a lawyer to defend people’s rights, to right injustices on a personal level. After earning an Hon. B.Sc. at the University of Toronto, I entered the University of Ottawa Common Law program and was called to the bar in 2009.

Since then, I’ve successfully negotiated, litigated and arbitrated countless cases. I have the unique perspective of having acted for both injured persons and insurance companies. That deep understanding of the inner workings of the insurance industry gives me a strategic advantage to most effectively advocate for my client’s rights.

Away from my work, I try my best to keep fit, travel and enjoy great food and wine with my family and friends.

My journey has always involved helping those in need.

While obtaining my psychology degree, I witnessed the pain that all disability, but particularly mental-health disability can have on a person’s ability to work. Now as a lawyer, I defend the rights of victims and help navigate them through the overwhelming process of being approved for or appealing the denial of disability benefits.

With the pandemic behind us, I have seen many hard-working Canadians suffer from the psychological aftermath of the last few years. While I represent clients with all types of disability, I have a keen interest in helping those who cannot work due to stress or anxiety related disorders, depressive disorders, or post-traumatic stress disorders.

Having a background in insurance law has allowed me to learn the language of insurance companies to the benefit of my clients. I hope to continue providing fair and effective legal representation for clients for years to come.

C.T. Toronto, Ontario

Andrew Franklin represented me for my injury settlement. This was the first time I had ever dealt with an attorney.  From the beginning, Andrew was upfront about what the expectations were regarding my case. He made me feel comfortable and went through the whole process with me.

His team was highly organized and communicated extremely well during the settlement process (this was over a 2 year period). Based on my experience, I can tell Andrew cares about his clients. With my case, he really took the time to understand every detail. I was vey satisfied with the service Andrew and his team provided. I would HIGHLY recommend Andrew for anyone seeking an injury lawyer!
