How Our LTD Lawyers in Brantford Can Help with Your Claim
Securing disability benefits often requires navigating a complex system of medical documentation, policy interpretation, and insurer negotiations. At Matthews Abogado Long-Term Disability, our LTD lawyers in Brantford help you obtain the benefits you deserve.
Insurance companies often employ medical consultants who review files without ever meeting you personally, leading to assessments that may not accurately reflect your actual limitations. Our Brantford legal team counters these practices with thorough preparation and strategic presentation of your claim evidence. We provide effective representation for clients experiencing a wide range of disabling conditions, including:
- Depression & Anxiety
- Chronic Pain
- COVID-19 Long Haulers
- COVID-19-related depression and mental health issues
- Fibromyalgia
- Bipolar & Mood Disorders
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Cancer & Post-Cancer Treatment Recovery
- Stroke
- Critical Illness
- Brain Injury
- Arthritis
- Addiction
- Psychosis
Our Brantford disability lawyers implement a methodical approach that begins with detailed policy analysis and medical record review. We identify critical evidence gaps, work with your healthcare providers to develop supporting documentation and structure your claim presentation to address specific policy requirements. Throughout this process, we handle all communications with insurers, freeing you from stressful interactions while ensuring consistent messaging that strengthens your position.

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.
