About Clonfero Law Firm

Clonfero Law Firm is a Toronto personal injury and long-term disability practice founded by Rene Clonfero, who was called to the Ontario Bar in 1995. Clonfero holds a B.A. (Special) from Simon Fraser University and a law degree from the University of Windsor Faculty of Law, and started conducting trials in civil and criminal courts while still a law student.

The firm represents people with catastrophic injuries, serious motor vehicle collisions, spinal cord and brain injuries, and slip and fall claims, along with disputes over long-term disability benefits that insurers have denied or cut off. It has an association with the Mood Disorders Association of Ontario and takes on psychological-injury claims, including PTSD and mood disorders, as part of its practice. Cases are handled on contingency, so clients pay nothing unless they recover compensation. The firm serves clients across Ontario and into the United States, offers to meet clients who can't get downtown, and can work with clients in English, Persian, and Croatian.

The neighbourhood

Clonfero Law Firm keeps two Toronto addresses rather than a single flagship office: one on Adelaide Street East in the downtown core, and another on Euclid Avenue west of downtown. For a client who can't get to either one, the firm says it will arrange to come to them instead, an approach that fits a practice built around clients dealing with injury, disability, or mental illness who may not be able to travel easily.
