How Our LTD Lawyers in Vaughan Can Help with Your Claim
The professional employment landscape in Vaughan presents distinct challenges when disability claims involve executive, technical, or specialized positions where limitations may be less visible but equally disabling. At Matthews Abogado Long-Term Disability, our LTD lawyers in Vaughan document the occupational impact of conditions that affect cognitive, executive, and sophisticated functional capacities.
Many Vaughan residents with professional careers find their disability claims undermined by assessment tools that adequately measure physical limitations but fail to capture the equally important cognitive, interpersonal, or executive function impairments that prevent continued employment in knowledge-based roles. Our legal team provides the specialized expertise to document these sophisticated functional impacts. We regularly assist clients with numerous 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 Vaughan disability lawyers perform a detailed occupational analysis that identifies the specific cognitive, interpersonal, and executive functions essential to your role. We then coordinate with appropriate specialists—including neuropsychologists, occupational therapists, and vocational experts—who can objectively document how your condition impairs these critical professional capacities. Our process often includes obtaining cognitive function testing that measures impacts on memory, concentration, and processing speed; documenting executive function impairments that affect planning, judgment, and multitasking; or developing evidence regarding interpersonal capacity limitations that compromise leadership, negotiation, or client service functions.

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.
