About Brian Goldfinger

Brian Goldfinger founded Goldfinger Injury Lawyers in Toronto and runs it as directing lawyer. The whole of Goldfinger's practice is spent on the injured side: people hurt in accidents, people with disability claims, and the families going through it with them. Insurance companies don't get Goldfinger as their lawyer.

Goldfinger was called to the bar in 2004, when Ontario's regulator still went by the Law Society of Upper Canada, and has worked as a personal injury lawyer for close to every year since. It didn't take long in practice for Goldfinger to see how heavily the odds favoured big, well-funded insurers over accident victims and their families, and the firm was started to help ordinary people who felt shut out by Ontario's insurance system. The cases have led Goldfinger to the Ontario Court of Appeal, the Superior Court of Justice and the Federal Court, to the Financial Services Commission of Ontario and the Canada Pension Plan Review Tribunal, and into courthouses right across the province.

Goldfinger has been interviewed by national and provincial news outlets, including CBC News, the Globe and Mail, the National Post, the Toronto Star, CityTV and CP24, as well as the legal papers Law Times and Lawyers' Weekly. Goldfinger is also a former radio host, having fronted A Legal Matter on CHRW 94.9 in London, and is the lead author of the Toronto Injury Lawyer Blog.

Outside work, Goldfinger is a keen runner who took up the sport in 2008 and has since raced in Toronto as well as across southwestern and eastern Ontario. Staying active is something Goldfinger asks of everyone at the firm, and #GoldfingerSpeed, its running club, helps carry that message. Basketball is the other big passion. Goldfinger has cheered for the Toronto Raptors since the team's very first day, and once joined The Regulars on Extra 92FM in Peterborough to talk hoops and life as an injury lawyer.
