About Boland Romaine

Boland Romaine LLP is a personal injury litigation firm based in Aurora, in York Region, with additional offices in Keswick and Markham. Tim Boland and Darcy Romaine founded the firm in 1984. Canadian Lawyer Magazine has repeatedly ranked the firm among Ontario's top 10 personal injury firms.

The firm concentrates on catastrophic and serious injury litigation, including motor vehicle and pedestrian collisions, occupier and municipal liability, product liability, and long term disability claims, and it represents clients across Ontario from its York Region base.
