About Tkatch & Associates

Tkatch & Associates is a personal injury law firm based in Toronto, founded in 1981 by Murray Tkatch. Tkatch earned a B.C.L. and an LL.B. from McGill University before starting the practice and remains its senior lawyer today. The firm also runs a second office in Gravenhurst, extending its reach into Muskoka and the surrounding cottage country while continuing to serve clients across the Greater Toronto Area.

The practice centres on motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall claims, long term and short term disability disputes, product liability, boating accidents, and dog bites and other animal attacks; a lawyer at the firm also handles medical malpractice and insurance claims. Tkatch & Associates works on a contingency basis: it doesn't charge fees until a claim settles or is won, and it covers the costs of pursuing a file while it's open. Consultations are free, and the firm will meet clients at home, by phone, or by video call when a trip to the office isn't practical.
