Free consultationAbout Sue Chen Lawyers
Sue Chen Lawyers is a personal injury, litigation, and general practice firm based in Toronto, with a second office in Vancouver. The firm was built around its founder, Sue K. Chen, who was called to the Ontario bar in 2003 and later to the British Columbia bar in 2019, which explains why the Vancouver office followed the Toronto practice rather than the other way around. The Toronto office sits at 1315 Lawrence Avenue East in the city's Victoria Village area.
The firm handles personal injury claims (motor vehicle collisions, motorcycle, pedestrian, and bicycle accidents, slip and falls, catastrophic and brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and wrongful death), civil and commercial litigation, insurance disputes, and general matters including wills, powers of attorney, and advance care directives. For eligible personal injury files the firm works on a contingency basis, meaning clients don't pay legal fees unless a claim succeeds; other litigation matters are billed under separate, individually discussed fee arrangements.
Team members speak English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, and one of the lawyers also speaks Urdu and Hindi. Sue K. Chen was also called to the Bar of New York in 2002.

The neighbourhood
The firm's Toronto office is on Lawrence Avenue East, right at the northern edge of Victoria Village, a North York community built out in the 1950s along the Don Valley. It's a mostly residential area of bungalows and low-rise apartments, with Lawrence Avenue itself carrying the retail and office strip that includes the firm's building.
Because personal injury and litigation clients often need to travel in from across the Greater Toronto Area for meetings, mediations, or appointments with treating physicians, the Lawrence Avenue location's access to the Don Valley Parkway is a practical fit for the kind of practice the firm runs, rather than an incidental detail.
