Credentials

Peer review rankings are arguably the only objective standard readily available to persons wishing to assess a lawyer’s competence to handle a complex personal injury case. While such rankings are not perfect and no PIA lawyer would suggest that he or she is superior to another lawyer based solely on such rankings, these rankings are objective and can be very helpful in choosing a lawyer.

Following is the list of PIA Law lawyers who are members of the Ontario Trial Lawyers’ Association (OTLA) and hold all 4 of the peer review objective designations. To view the complete list of of OTLA lawyers who hold all 4 designations, click here.
