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.
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.
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.
You will work directly with one of our lawyers. You need the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you can speak directly with your legal representative when you need to. When you call, you speak to an LTD lawyer, not a machine, not an assistant.
We will represent and advise you truthfully and frankly. If we can’t answer your questions or concerns immediately, we will find the right answer for you.
Advocacy is at the heart our law practice. Together, we have over 25 years experience. We’ve resolved hundreds lawsuits, winning fair compensation for clients in Long Term Disability, personal injury and insurance cases.
You don’t need jargon, confusing legal terms, or intimidating insurance talk. Communication begins with listening to you first. We will assess your situation and clearly give you your options and our recommendations. We can also help you with your Long Term Disability case in French, Tagalog, and Mandarin.
We work diligently to ensure your case is thoroughly reviewed and backed by the right evidence to maximize your chance for successful outcome. There is only one acceptable goal: fair compensation for our clients. In every case, we persevere until we reach that goal – or you don’t pay.
