Local Service. National Strength.
Our Connections
Miller Thomson’s personal injury lawyers belong to a national firm, deeply rooted in communities across Canada. We deliver personalized service at a local level, with the strength and resources of our national network, at the same rates our competitors charge in small boutique firms.
Our Reputation
Our senior lawyers have been designated as “King’s Counsel,” and consistently appear on Canada’s peer-reviewed “Best Lawyers” list.
Many of our clients choose Miller Thomson’s personal injury team, after being referred by other firms that are not equipped to handle these uniquely challenging cases.

Every personal injury case is unique, and it is critically important our clients feel comfortable enough to talk with their lawyers about personal matters including health, finances, and lifestyle choices. With seven female and six male lawyers in our group, who speak languages ranging from English to Spanish, Korean, Ukrainian, and Shona, diversity is our strength.
