About Himelfarb Proszanski

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

HIMPRO is the personal injury and disability arm of Himelfarb Proszanski, a Toronto law firm established in 1998. It's a full-service firm: the corporate and commercial, real estate, wills and estates, family, and civil litigation work sits under the Himelfarb Proszanski name, while the injury and insurance practice runs as HIMPRO. The main office is at 480 University Avenue in downtown Toronto, and the firm keeps regional offices in Brampton, Hamilton, Kitchener, and Oshawa so clients don't have to travel far to meet a lawyer.

On the injury side, the firm represents people hurt in car, motorcycle, and other motor vehicle collisions, along with slip and fall, traumatic brain and spinal injury, medical malpractice, and workplace injury claims. It also takes on long-term disability and CPP disability files, including cases built on chronic pain, mental health conditions, and other ongoing impairments. These files are handled on contingency, so there's no fee unless the claim succeeds, the first consultation is free, and the firm will visit clients at home or in hospital anywhere in Ontario when getting to an office isn't possible. David Himelfarb, the firm's managing partner for personal injury and civil litigation, was called to the Ontario bar in 1989 and has appeared before the Ontario Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada.

The neighbourhood

Himelfarb Proszanski is a Toronto firm, and its Kitchener presence is a regional office at 22 Frederick Street in the downtown core. That location keeps an injury or disability file close to Waterloo Region clients instead of running everything out of the city. Downtown Kitchener is the older heart of the region, and it's changed quickly over the past decade: the ION light rail now runs through the core with a station beside the Frederick Street block, and Conestoga College's downtown campus sits across the road. For clients coming in from Waterloo, Cambridge, or the surrounding townships, that puts the office on transit and inside the walkable downtown grid rather than out on a highway strip.
