Cariati Law is an Ontario personal injury firm. Its head office is in Mississauga, and it keeps offices in Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, Barrie, Sudbury, and downtown Kitchener, serving clients across the province. The practice grew out of founder Mario Cariati's own experience. Injured seriously as a child, the founder saw the litigation process up close at a young age and later chose to represent injured people. Cariati was called to the Ontario bar in 2004, after a JD from Osgoode Hall Law School and a degree from the University of Toronto.
Most of the firm's work involves motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, catastrophic injuries including traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, dog bites, wrongful death, and denied long-term disability claims. It also takes on employment matters such as wrongful dismissal and severance review. Cariati Law runs on a contingency basis, so there's no fee unless the firm recovers for the client, and consultations are free. Staff can help clients in French, Mandarin, Cantonese, Italian, Hindi, and Russian, among other languages. In Waterloo Region, the Kitchener office is a downtown meeting point rather than the firm's base, and a lot of the intake starts by phone.

The neighbourhood
The Kitchener office sits at 22 Frederick Street, Suite 700, in an office tower in the downtown core, across from Market Square and a short walk from Kitchener City Hall. The suite is part of a serviced, shared workspace, so it works as a place to meet Waterloo Region clients rather than a staffed branch. Cariati Law is based in the Greater Toronto Area and takes cases across Ontario, so much of the early work tends to happen by phone before anyone comes in. For people in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and Guelph, it's a downtown point of contact for a firm that handles claims province-wide.
