Testimonials
"Good morning Michael. Just wanted to drop you a line and express my gratitude to you for your work on my claim. I at no point during the process felt that you had anything but my best interest in mind – and for that I will be eternally grateful. There is far too little of your brand of honesty and integrity in the world these days and it truly speaks volumes of your character. Thank you for the opportunity to get my life back. Cheers!!"

Button"As acting legal representative for my daughter, Mr. Michael Wolfe and his office provided an efficient, attentive, and thorough service. My daughter and I both felt that Mr. Wolfe and his staff were sensitive to the particularities of the case and the personal impact the events had on my daughter, both physically and emotionally. The final negotiations were accomplished to our full satisfaction, and follow up issues received prompt attention. I feel that she was well represented and would not hesitate in recommending Mr. Wolfe’s professional services."

Button"From my first conversation and meeting with the Wolfe Lawyers team, I knew I was in good hands. Competent, compassionate, knowledgeable, and engaged. I was always able to reach the team when I had questions, and my case was handled with the utmost respect and professionalism. They truly fight for you, and are looking out for your best interest, 100% of the time. Dealing with a life altering injury was very stressful, something few can really understand, but the Wolfe team has true empathy, and I was able to let them advocate for me when I needed it most."

The plaintiff, a 32-year-old woman, slipped and fell on the defendant’s icy driveway in
Peterborough in December 2017. She suffered a severe fracture to her ankle which
required surgery and rehabilitation. She returned to her sedentary pre-accident job but
required assistance with some household tasks. The defendant denied liability. Madam
Justice Lack found in favour of the plaintiff on all issues, and awarded $150,000 for
damages for pain and suffering, $59,350 for loss of housekeeping ability and $40,000
for loss of competitive advantage. In total the plaintiff obtained judgment for $292,393
plus costs of $86,015. The defendant’s appeal was unanimously dismissed by the
Ontario Court of Appeal in April 2022.
ButtonTruong v. Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company, 2023 CarswellOnt 10179:
The plaintiffs insured six items of jewelry for $502,000 with the defendant. The policy
covered loss due to theft anywhere in the world. While on a trip to Vietnam to attend a
wedding, the plaintiffs were robbed of all of their jewelry. The defendant denied their
claim disputing the theft and even their ownership of the jewelry. After a trial that took
place over 13 days, Mr. Justice Daley awarded the plaintiffs $502,000 for their stolen
jewelry and $45,000 for punitive damages because of the defendant’s conduct in
denying the claim. The court also awarded the plaintiffs over $150,000 in costs.
ButtonStewart v. Blaschuk, 2024 ONSC 313:
The plaintiff was 70 years old when he was involved in a car accident in Peterborough.
At that time the plaintiff was working as a cab driver. As a result of the accident the
plaintiff injured his left shoulder which required surgery. The surgery was successful, but
he also suffered chronic low back pain which prevented him from returning to his
occupation as a cab driver. After a 12-day trial, the jury returned with a verdict awarding
the plaintiff $175,000 for pain and suffering and $128,569 for loss of income. The trial
judge found that the plaintiff had sustained a permanent serious impairment of an
important physical function (the “threshold”) and costs of $284,800.
