Singer Kwinter Personal Injury Lawyers (Toronto) singerkwinter.com The firm was co-founded in 1974 by partners Alf Kwinter and the late Morris Singer, who were classmates at the University of Toronto���s Faculty of Law. The firm���s original focus was criminal and family law, but gradually shifted to personal injury work. In the 2006 case Pereira v. Hamilton Township Farmers��� Mutual Fire Insurance Co., the seven-lawyer firm secured the largest jury award in the province���s history for punitive damages against an insurer. It also represented the plaintiff in Kamin v. Kawartha Dairy, which changed the law with respect to trip and fall. ���The trial skills and integrity of Alf Kwinter are singular in the insurance bar,��� said one voter of the firm���s principal. Slater Vecchio LLP (Vancouver) slatervecchio.com Tony Vecchio and Michael Slater founded this Vancouver-based firm in 1998 and it has continued to grow each year. There are now 15 lawyers and 75 support staff, including three case managers.��Slater recently claimed the 2013 Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia Bar award, while Vecchio earned himself a Queen���s Counsel appointment last year. A 2007 case fought by the firm ��� Aberdeen v. Township of Langley ��� resulted in one of the largest personal injury awards in British Columbia history. One defence lawyer, who regularly clashes with the firm, singled them out for praise: ���They give me a serious run for my money, fighting the good fight, without alienating defence counsel in the process. If I was seriously injured, that���s where I would go.��� LAWYE R AN DI 20 1 TOP3 10 HSH was honoured to be named one of the Top 5 Personal Injury Law Firms in Canada in 2011.
