About Chouinard & Company

Chouinard & Company is a Richmond, British Columbia firm that has practiced personal injury law exclusively since 1978, serving clients in Richmond and Vancouver. Its work centers on ICBC motor vehicle claims, along with pedestrian and cyclist accident cases and claims involving head, neck, and back injuries. The firm keeps its team small and describes its lawyers as accessible, including making out of office visits when a client can't easily come to them.

Robert J. Charlton, a founding member, stepped down as managing partner in 2008 but still works with the firm in an advisory role, consulting with clients and assisting on lawsuits. Andreas Kuntze joined the firm in 2009, was called to the bar in 2010, and has appeared in the BC Provincial Court, the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal, and the Federal Court of Canada. Outside the firm, Kuntze serves as president of Karate BC, the province's karate governing body. Richmond has large Cantonese and Mandarin speaking communities, and Chouinard & Company's office staff speak both languages so clients can discuss a claim in the language they're most comfortable with. Initial consultations are always free, and cases are handled on a contingency basis.
