Wolfe Lawyers

About Wolfe Lawyers

Wolfe Lawyers is a personal injury firm with offices in Toronto and Peterborough, plus a by appointment location in Oshawa that extends its reach into Durham Region. The firm's two named lawyers, William C. Wolfe and J. A. Michael Wolfe, both started on the other side of the file. William C. Wolfe was called to the Ontario bar in 1990 and represented insurance companies across the province's courts for a decade before switching to plaintiff-side work in 2000. Michael Wolfe was called to the bar in 2002 and spent the first seven years at two insurance-defence firms in downtown Toronto before moving to acting exclusively for injured people. Associate William Lim, called in 2017, also articled at an insurance-defence firm before joining the team, so insurance-side experience runs through the firm.

The firm handles car, motorcycle, boat and snowmobile collisions, pedestrian and cycling accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, and traumatic brain, spinal cord and orthopaedic injuries, along with long-term disability and statutory accident benefit disputes. It works mainly on contingency, so clients don't pay a legal fee unless a claim settles or wins in court, and it also offers hourly billing for those who'd rather arrange it that way. The firm describes its service area as stretching from Windsor to Kingston and Toronto to Barrie, and it will meet clients at home or in hospital when travel after an accident isn't possible.
