About Gluckstein Lawyers

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Gluckstein Lawyers is a Toronto based personal injury firm that has focused on personal injury law since it was founded in 1962 by Bernard L. Gluckstein. Charles E. Gluckstein now leads the firm as managing partner. The head office is at 595 Bay Street in downtown Toronto, and the firm also has offices in Ottawa, St. Catharines, Barrie, and Collingwood that extend its reach across Ontario. The team includes more than 20 lawyers who work on catastrophic injury, medical malpractice and birth injury, motor vehicle accidents, long term disability claims, sexual abuse litigation, and class actions.

The firm works on a contingency basis, so clients pay no legal fees unless a case settles, and the initial consultation is free. It also supports Sixties Scoop survivors, offering legal guidance to people affected by the historical forced removal of Indigenous children from their families. The firm's website is available in Simplified Chinese as well as English. In recent years Gluckstein Lawyers has been named to Canadian Lawyer's Top Personal Injury Boutiques list and recognized in the Best Lawyers in Canada and Best Law Firms, Canada rankings.
