Sokoloff Lawyers is a personal injury firm in Toronto's Yorkville district, founded in 2002 by Wendy H. Sokoloff. Sokoloff graduated from the University of Windsor's law school, was called to the Ontario bar in 1989, made partner at another firm by 1994, and then opened this practice. The firm handles motor vehicle, motorcycle and bicycle accidents, slip and fall claims, catastrophic injuries such as brain and spinal cord trauma, long term disability disputes and accident benefits claims. It works on a contingency fee basis, so clients don't pay unless the case succeeds.
The office is on Scollard Street, inside a semi-detached house that's a designated heritage building within the Yorkville-Hazelton Heritage Conservation District. Lawyers at the firm hold memberships with groups including the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association, the Advocates Society and the Ontario Brain Injury Association. The firm's site is also published in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Serbian, and it says clients can meet by phone, email, in person or video call. Its client base isn't limited to Toronto: the site also carries information pages for Mississauga, Hamilton, Ottawa, Windsor, London and several other Ontario cities.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The firm's office at 120 Scollard Street sits inside a semi-detached house that the City of Toronto's inventory of heritage properties lists as a designated heritage building within the Yorkville-Hazelton Heritage Conservation District.
Yorkville's narrow Victorian streets were Toronto's bohemian centre in the 1960s, home to the coffeehouse scene that launched musicians including Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Gordon Lightfoot. The neighbourhood has since become one of the city's higher end shopping districts, and the small converted houses along streets like Scollard now hold galleries, boutiques and offices rather than folk clubs.
