Why Choose Matthews Abogado Long-Term Disability as Your Long-Term Disability Lawyer in Markham?
Diverse Experience
Our long-term disability lawyers in Markham have extensive experience across numerous disability categories, including physical, psychiatric, neurological, and autoimmune conditions. This experiential breadth allows us to draw on relevant precedent knowledge directly applicable to your medical situation. We regularly handle claims involving emerging or controversial diagnoses, providing insight into effective evidence-development approaches for complex conditions. Our team has successfully documented disability for conditions with primarily subjective symptoms that traditional assessment methods often inadequately capture.
Financial Impact Mitigation
Disability extends beyond medical challenges – it creates significant financial strain and requires comprehensive solutions. Our lawyers help clients understand and prepare for the tax implications of different benefit structures and settlement approaches. We also identify secondary benefits or programs clients might otherwise miss while focusing solely on primary disability claims.
Physician Collaboration
Our Markham team works with healthcare providers to obtain appropriate documentation without creating burdensome or adversarial relationships. We supply healthcare providers with forms and questions that efficiently capture insurance-relevant information without excessive time demands. Our lawyers maintain respectful professional relationships with medical offices, facilitating ongoing cooperation throughout extended claim periods. This collaborative methodology ensures that your healthcare providers’ support translates effectively into insurance-relevant documentation without creating difficulties.
Process Demystification
We make complex disability claim procedures understandable through clear explanations and expectation setting. We provide straightforward descriptions of insurance evaluation processes without unnecessary legal jargon. Our lawyers explain how specific evidence components address particular policy requirements so you understand the strategic purpose of documentation requests. We provide realistic timelines and outcome probabilities based on claim-specific factors rather than generic estimates. This transparency ensures you can maintain realistic expectations while understanding the rationale behind our recommendations throughout the claim process.

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.
