HSP Law is a personal injury and long-term disability firm headquartered in Toronto, at its Leslie Street office. The firm has more than four decades of experience in Ontario personal injury practice. Harlan A. Pottins, who holds a B.A. (Hons) from York University (2006) and a J.D. from Osgoode Hall Law School (2009), leads the practice today and has focused on personal injury law since finishing law school. Pottins is a member of the Law Society of Ontario.
The firm handles motor vehicle accident claims involving cars, motorcycles, bicycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, and pedestrians, along with slip and fall injuries, dog bite claims, and long-term disability insurance claims, including catastrophic injuries such as brain and spinal cord injuries. It works on a contingency fee basis, so clients pay nothing upfront and the firm is paid only if a case succeeds. HSP Law reaches clients beyond Toronto through consulting offices in Durham Region (Whitby, Oshawa, and Ajax) and in Calgary, Alberta, and it also serves clients in the Waterloo, Halton, and Niagara regions of Ontario.

The neighbourhood
HSP Law's head office is on Leslie Street in Toronto, but the firm doesn't rely on a single downtown address to reach clients. It maintains consulting offices in Whitby, Oshawa, and Ajax to serve Durham Region, and in Calgary to serve Alberta clients, in addition to a second Toronto address on Yonge Street. That kind of hub and spoke setup, a small home office paired with a scatter of consulting locations across several regions, is a deliberate way to meet injury and disability clients closer to home for a first conversation, rather than asking them to travel into central Toronto while recovering from an accident.
Frequently asked questions
- Does HSP Law only represent drivers, or can cyclists and pedestrians make a claim too?
- HSP Law's motor vehicle accident practice covers cars, motorcycles, bicycles, ATVs, and snowmobiles, and it also represents pedestrians hit by a vehicle, not just drivers or passengers.
- I'm out of work because of a long term disability. Does HSP Law handle that, or only accident claims?
- Both. Alongside its motor vehicle, slip and fall, and dog bite work, HSP Law handles long term disability insurance claims, including claims tied to catastrophic injuries such as brain and spinal cord injuries.
- What does it cost to hire HSP Law?
- HSP Law works on a contingency fee basis. There are no upfront legal fees, and the firm says it is paid only if it wins or settles the case; if it isn't successful, the client isn't required to pay legal fees.
- I don't live near downtown Toronto. Can I still meet with an HSP Law lawyer?
- HSP Law's head office is on Leslie Street in Toronto, with a second Toronto office on Yonge Street. It also keeps consulting offices in Whitby, Oshawa, Ajax, and Calgary, and serves clients in the Waterloo, Halton, and Niagara regions of Ontario, who can reach the firm through its 24/7 injury hotline.
- How long do I have to make a personal injury claim in Ontario?
- HSP Law's own FAQ page notes that for most accidents you have two years from the date of loss to make a claim, but some claims have a much shorter deadline, including a 10 day notice period for claims against a municipality. This is general information, not legal advice, and deadlines vary by claim type.
- Does HSP Law offer a free first meeting?
- Yes. HSP Law offers a free case evaluation and lists a 24/7 injury hotline for clients to reach the firm outside regular business hours.
