About Lalande Personal Injury Lawyers

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Lalande Personal Injury & Disability Lawyers is a small Hamilton firm that founder Matt Lalande built starting in 2003, the year articling began, ahead of a call to the bar in Toronto in June 2004. Matt comes from a family of trial lawyers and judges who have practiced law since 1973. The practice stays narrow rather than broad, working in five areas only: serious personal injury, wrongful death, injured children, denied long term disability, and wrongful dismissal.

Matt Lalande has been listed in The Best Lawyers in Canada for personal injury litigation every year since 2018, and co-wrote 'Disability Insurance Law in Canada,' a reference other lawyers and judges use when arguing disability claims. Writing credits include the Lawyer's Daily and First Reference Employment Law, plus a contribution to the Globe and Mail's Leadership Lab, alongside membership (and a past directorship) in the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association and membership in the American Association for Justice. The firm says it has recovered over $65 million for injury and disability clients across Hamilton and Ontario since 2003, working on a contingency basis so clients pay nothing unless a case succeeds. (Fees as of September 2026.)
