About Goldfinger Injury Lawyers

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Goldfinger Injury Lawyers is a personal injury firm based in Toronto, with its head office at 167 Sheppard Avenue West in North York. It keeps meeting offices around the province, including one at 290 King Street East in Kitchener, so people in Waterloo Region can sit down with the firm without driving into the city. Brian Goldfinger founded the practice and was called to the Ontario bar in 2004. The firm acts only for injured people and long-term disability claimants, and it doesn't take work from insurance companies.

The caseload runs across car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian collisions, slip and fall injuries, and disputes over long-term disability and other insurance claims. Cases are handled on contingency, so there's no fee unless the claim recovers money, and consultations are free. Beyond the founder, the firm has a small team of lawyers, law clerks, and support staff, and it draws on a network of nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and psychologists across Ontario. Its lawyers and staff speak a wide range of languages, from Mandarin and Cantonese to Punjabi, Arabic, Italian, and Portuguese, and it'll bring in an outside interpreter when a language isn't covered in house.

The neighbourhood

The Kitchener meeting office sits at 290 King Street East, on the street that runs through the city's downtown core. It's an appointment-based space rather than a full branch. The firm says its lawyers have visited accident victims at the region's hospitals, among them Grand River, St. Mary's General, and Cambridge Memorial.

King Street ties together the old tri-city area, with Waterloo to the north and Cambridge to the south. Kitchener carried the name Berlin until 1916, a nod to the German settlers who shaped it, and that heritage still turns up every fall in the city's Oktoberfest. A meeting office here lets people across Waterloo Region talk with the firm without making the drive to its Toronto head office.
