Why Choose Matthews Abogado Long-Term Disability as Your Long-Term Disability Lawyer in Hamilton?
Condition-Specific Knowledge
Our Hamilton disability lawyers have developed specialized expertise regarding effective documentation approaches for particular disability categories, such as psychiatric, chronic pain, and autoimmune conditions. We maintain awareness of evolving medical diagnostic criteria and ensure documentation reflects current standards. Our team counters insurance company tactics that apply outdated or inappropriately restrictive evaluation standards to these conditions, ensuring your particular condition receives appropriate consideration under current medical standards rather than generic assessment approaches.
Vocational Assessment Expertise
We counter inappropriate vocational assessments that insurers use to terminate benefits during definition changes by working with qualified evaluators who provide realistic assessments of employment prospects, given your specific limitations. Our lawyers document how combined limitations create employment barriers that isolated assessments might miss. We counter theoretical job matches with evidence of practical accessibility barriers, including market conditions, qualification requirements, and accommodation limitations. This vocational assessment capability provides critical protection during the vulnerable transition from “own occupation” to “any occupation” evaluation periods.
Timeline Management
Our Hamilton team implements effective strategies to advance claims at an appropriate pace while avoiding counterproductive rushing. We recognize when additional evidence development serves your interests despite delaying immediate decisions. We balance immediate benefit access goals with long-term security considerations in all timing decisions. Our lawyers strategically time submissions and appeals to align with internal insurer review cycles for maximum effectiveness.
Holistic Support Network
We maintain connections with complementary service providers who can address non-legal aspects of disability situations. This support network includes rehabilitation specialists, financial advisors, and community resources that provide comprehensive assistance. Our lawyers help coordinate these services when appropriate to ensure integrated support for your overall situation. We regularly provide referrals to trusted professionals who understand disability contexts and can provide appropriate accommodations.

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.
