About Schneider Law Firm

One of the highest-rated law firms in Toronto, going by its Google reviews.

Schneider Law Firm is a personal injury and civil litigation firm based in Toronto, run by brothers Cary and Jono Schneider. Between them, the two lawyers bring more than 35 years of combined experience to the practice. Cary Schneider spent 19 years on the insurance side of the bar, working as a contact partner for major Canadian insurers, before moving into representing injured clients, a background that offers insight into how insurers build a defence. Jono Schneider trained at one of Canada's largest firms before joining the practice, and an economics degree from McGill shapes the advice given to self-employed and small business clients working through a claim.

The firm's caseload centers on personal injury, covering car accidents, slip and falls, dog bites and product liability claims, along with real estate litigation, general and commercial litigation, and class actions. Cary Schneider also handles privacy and cyber breach matters, backed by a cybersecurity diploma from Harvard University and a Certified Information Privacy Professional/Canada (CIPP/C) designation. That side of the practice includes the CarePartners privacy class action, filed together with two other Ontario firms after a 2018 data breach. Schneider Law works on contingency throughout, so clients don't pay unless a case resolves. Associate Adam Warner, who articled in entertainment law before moving into insurance defence litigation, rounds out the three-lawyer team.

The neighbourhood

Schneider Law Firm's main office sits on Finch Avenue West in Toronto, with a second Toronto location on Adelaide Street West downtown. The firm also keeps smaller offices in Brampton, Whitby and Concord, which puts a local address within reach of clients across a wide stretch of the GTA rather than sending everyone to a single downtown building.

Because the firm works on contingency and much of its caseload involves clients recovering from an accident, an initial consultation starts as a phone conversation rather than requiring an office visit, with an in-person meeting arranged only if the client wants one.

Frequently asked questions

I was hurt in a car accident in the GTA. Can Schneider Law Firm take my case?
Yes. Personal injury work, including motor vehicle accidents, is a core part of the practice, along with slip and falls, bicycle and snowmobile accidents, dog bites and product liability claims.
I was hit while walking or riding a bicycle, not driving. Does that count?
It can. The firm's own materials note that a pedestrian or cyclist struck by a vehicle is still entitled to accident benefits even without their own vehicle insurance, and that kind of claim falls within its personal injury practice.
I heard about the CarePartners data breach. Can Schneider Law Firm help?
Schneider Law Firm is one of a group of Ontario firms, alongside Waddell Phillips Professional Corporation and Howie, Sacks & Henry LLP, pursuing a class action over the 2018 CarePartners data breach. Current or former CarePartners patients, non-unionized staff and contractors may be part of the class, and there is no cost to participate since the lawyers work on contingency.
Does Schneider Law Firm only handle personal injury cases?
No. The firm also handles real estate litigation, general and commercial litigation, and privacy and cyber breach matters, in addition to personal injury and class actions.
What does it cost to hire Schneider Law Firm?
Cases are taken on contingency. The firm says it doesn't get paid until the client does, so there is no upfront cost to retain it.
How big is Schneider Law Firm and where are its offices?
The firm has three lawyers, Cary Schneider, Jono Schneider and associate Adam Warner, with offices in Toronto (Finch Avenue West and a second location on Adelaide Street West downtown), Brampton, Whitby and Concord.
