Reviews of Thomson Rogers (Attorney)

Denise Roussel

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Darcy Merkur and his team at Thomson Rogers. My daughter Zoe, who was 4 years old, was involved in an accident in 2010 whereby she lost her left leg. We were in a state of deep despair and darkness. We feel very lucky and extremely grateful to have met Darcy. He guided us through the legal process and was very clear on what we should and should not expect. He was very empathetic and understanding of our horrible situation. We felt very confident with Darcy during the process and knew that we were in very capable hands with his guidance and expertise. We are happy to say that we recently settled favourably for Zoe and we are very relieved. Throughout the entire process Darcy never once deviated from being highly professional and responsive to our needs. I strongly suggest to anybody with a personal injury complaint to directly contact Darcy Merkur. We would also like to thank Merna Daoud and Stacy John, who assisted Darcy throughout our entire file. Thomson Rogers are market leaders and their success rates are high. We would not hesitate to recommend them. Thank you.

I used the services of Sloan Mandel and his team. The services were remarkable. Great and precise advice. Never focused in on problems but only solutions. Professional, responsive, high integrity. Highly recommend.

I sympathise with all the people involved in accidents and who unfortunately are left with consequences for life as a result. An unfortunate accident not only changed my life but also that of my family. Initially, I retained a different law firm to represent me where I was left alone to worry about my physical and psychological recovery and to deal with the unfair treatment of the auto insurance, Alllstate. During this time, I found and retained Mr. Stephen Birman who is a lawyer at the law firm of Thomson Rogers. He provided great support and companionship during this difficult process. I know that nothing can compensate for losing ones' health, but it is absolutely necessary to rely on good legal support . I thank Mr. Birman for his commitment to my case, for being understanding and very professional during a difficult process. I am grateful for all his efforts. I am happy to give my testimony and recommendation for Mr. Birman and Thomson Rogers. GOD BLESS YOU!!!

In 2015, I was involved in a motor vehicle accident while cycling. I was referred to Thomson Rogers. I don't know where to start. Darcy Merkur, there is so much I want to say, but all the paper in the world is not enough for what I want to write. Thank you for believing in me and taking my case. Thank you for always being there for me and answering my emails and calls. Thank you for being patient with me. Thank you for never giving up and always giving 150% of your time in everything you did for me and my family. Thank you for fighting for me and thank you for securing financially my life so that I am okay for medical treatments and bills. I owe so much to you and will never forget you. I highly recommend Thomson Rogers and Darcy Merkur and his team.

Mark Cohen

Can't speak highly enough of our experience working with the team at Thomson Rogers. Going through a crisis, to have lawyers who genuinely cared about our well-being, the team worked tirelessly on our behalf. The result was a successful settlement. I would highly recommend Thomson Rogers to anyone requiring personal injury services in the future (and in particular our lead Stephen Birman).

I must thank you for going above and beyond. Even when I thought I couldn't draw anymore and have given up that, you got me to start drawing and I love it again. :)

Mitch Ribeiro

Best personal injury lawyers around. End of story. Pure and simple. Personalities of wallpaper but you'll never call them looking for a friend lol. Honestly try them first as they have a 94% out of court settlement rate. The best in the city. They scare insurance companies and they worked for me

Doug Palmer

Very helpful and professional law firm

Patrick Liao

This is an excellent company! Darcy is our lawyer after my wife got a car accident, since that Darcy and his team help us a lot and they did a very great job! We appreciate their help! We highly recommend Darcy and this law firm!

Loreta DiRenzo Presutto

My case was settled and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Thank you Stacey!

Ryan Switzer

In 2012 my two sons and ex-wife were involved in a MVA. They were pedestrians crossing the road at a crosswalk when all three were hit by a car at approximately 50 km/h. At the time my two sons were quite young with my oldest being three-and-a-half and my youngest being only one-and-a-half. While my ex-wife and youngest son obtained minor injuries, my oldest son was unfortunately not quite as fortunate and suffered significant brain damage that I later learned was classified as “catastrophic.” I met Darcy Merkur of Thomson Rogers a few days after the accident at McMaster Children's Hospital where my oldest son was in the ICU. One of the first things Darcy said to me was “we help a lot of kids.” I know that quoting Darcy out of context may strike one as a bit odd, but this statement was something that resonated with me at a time I needed it and over the next few years I would see it proven time and time again. My son needed a lot of help and Darcy made sure he got it. I can say with certainty that there wasn’t a single avenue in my son's recovery that wasn’t explored. Today, and despite my son being a miracle, he still needs a lot of help and due to Darcy's work he has the funds to get the help he needs. To this day Darcy is a good friend and one of the best people I know. Both the lives of my son and my entire family would be vastly different today had Darcy Merkur not been the person I met in the hospital eight years ago. Myself, my sons and my family will forever be grateful to him. Should you find yourself reading this in an unfortunate situation akin to my own, I could not make a more strong recommendation to hire Darcy to represent your loved one.

Jah-Marc solomon

Working with Darcy was great. He was very knowledgeable and informative. I had never been in a situation like this and he helped guide me throughout the process always looking out for my wellbeing first and foremost.

Pamela Davis

After my husband was hit by a car crossing the street we obtained Darcy Merkur of Thomson Rogers to handle our case. Darcy's knowledge of personal injury including brain injury was extremely comforting for me and my family. We were given helpful advice of what to expect throughout the early trauma and recovery stages and I felt an immediate trust that he would handle our file with the same knowledge and professionalism. Our case was settled fairly and we avoided having to go to court. My husband's financial needs are taken care of leaving him able to concentrate fully on recovery. I highly recommend Darcy to handle your personal injury claim. Thank you to Darcy and your support team for taking care of us!

Bryan Delodder

Many lawyers try to make the legal process appear complex, adversarial and highly strategic. They try to impress upon you how much you need them. Darcy Merkur does the opposite. He knows how to make things simple. He treats the insurance companies with respect and they treat him with the same. He’s very experienced- he can’t be played by anyone and he doesn’t play either. The bureaucratic processes in the insurance industry take a little time, but if you have been injured and are looking for a fair settlement, Darcy will get you what you are entitled to with complete transparency and very little drama. He’s the kind of guy you will keep in touch with after your case is settled. A highly skilled gentleman.

Nicholas Morihovitis

Darcy and the Thompson Rogers team were exceptional. They were responsive, attentive, caring and overall very great and understanding people. They fight for you as an individual and care for your well being. My family and I will be eternally grateful to Darcy for all the work he put in. If I could give more than 5 stars I most definitely would. Thank you for all that you did!

O'Shane Guthrie

The Greatest Lawyer in the World is my Lawyer Mr David Macdonald from Moment one in our Meeting until now.........................The Entire Team Surpassing exspectations in everything, Thanks & May God Bless

Legless LeX

Thompson Rogers Lawyers helped me in more ways then i could try to sum up in this post so ill try to make it brief. What i experienced was top tier outstanding professionalism in EVERY aspect regardless the duration of time that had past during my case my lawyer Sloan Mandel and his team where their every step of the way to answer questions, guide & give me the best legal options & opinions that helped ME the clinent achieve the best results possible. I am truly thankful i had switched from my previous lawfirm... that...that firm that was going to charge me OUTRAGIOUS eye popping %'s on my settlement and offer me less then a quarter of the skill, reputation or professional vaule that Thomson Rogers brings. 10/10 on every level nothing more i can say !! Thank you for being david in my corner against the goliath !!

Matthew Baboth

I've been with Thompson rogers for about a year now, and they are by far the most professional and accredited firm out there. Before I retained Thompson Rogers I felt like my back was up against the wall. I now finally believe that someone is looking out for me when no one else is.

Mary Bogner

very Professional

Mireille Fortier

Deanna Gilbert of Thomson Rogers was our lawyer after our MVA. Her and her team were always attentive and responsive with every request, concern and situation that arised. I strongly recommend her. Thank you Deanna and Laurie!

Steve Buchko

We hired Stephen Birman at Thomson Rogers to represent our mother, after she suffered a serious accident. We had interviewed personal injury lawyers at various firms before choosing Stephen. One of the things that first impressed us with Thomson Rogers was their focus on the team of medical services partners that they worked with, and would introduce us to, to ensure that our mother received all the care she needed during her recovery. We were not disappointed. The care givers Stephen recommended to us to were all top notch. Stephen himself was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire process of negotiating a settlement with the insurance company. Often I would send an email to him in the evening, not expecting a response until the next day, only to have the answer in my inbox at 10:30 or 11:00 pm that same day! Thomson Rogers and Stephen handled all the legal complexities, and got us to a settlement that we were very satisfied with. I would not hesitate to recommend Stephen and Thomson Rogers to anyone looking for a legal team to handle their injury claims.

Karan Sharma

Thanks to Darcy and team for taking care of the case and being so nice and professional all the time and putting more than required effort.

Aubrey Heber

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident, and was working with a different lawyer that was in my area to help me get fairly compensated. Met before mediation with him to find that he had so many facts wrong about the case. My mother heard about Stacey Stevens at Thompson Rogers, and I contacted her in a panic. She was able to take the case from the lawyer who bungled it, and I couldn’t believe how different it was. I went from trying to swim upstream hopelessly against the insurance companies, to feeling like I was in a solid boat with Stacey guiding the way. Her wisdom, empathy and advice during the years we fought for my fair compensation were invaluable. Thank you again, Stacey! I highly recommend Thompson Rogers to anyone who needs someone on their side.

Stephen Ramadeen

Stacey Stevens and Craig Brown are great lawyers.

Fahad Al-Bazirgan

Darcy and his team did an amazing job, and they were very helpful the entire time they handled my motorcycle accident case. It felt like I really had a team supporting my needs and doing whatever needed to ensure my requests, questions or concerns were handled and accomplished in the best way possible. I definitely recommend them to anyone as they are the best of the best out there. 5 stars service gets you 5 star results. Regards, Fahad Al-Bazirgan

Triton Nemeth

Prior to giving the case to Mr D'agistano he returned my calls within a day or two. He answered my questions and seemed to be interested in my case. Once I retained him things changed. He no longer returned ny phone calls or emails in a timely manner. The time delay between any feedback have become absurdly long . Months and months of no replies or updates. He promises to contact people in regards to the file and never does Constant delays and excuses as to why he does not proceed with my case. Time is money and my settlement - if and when I receive it will be worthless at this rate. Mr dagiatano does not seem to have intention to proceed with my case in a timely manner.. I do not recommend this lawyer due to the noted issues. I have left voice mail , emails prior to writing this review and still no replies. \

Gary Rotman

My experience with David Macdonald and Thomson Rogers lawyers was better than expected in terms of professionalism and receiving updates. Also they understand the personal side/stress as a result of the situation. The outcome was what they and I hoped for, so I couldn't have been happier. And the road to get there was a lot less stressful than I expected, thanks to their straight-forward communication throughout the process. Absolutely recommend Thompson Rogers lawyers.

v... law

I worked closely with Darcy Merkur (lawyer) and he has been professional with handing the personal injury case. Darcy truly works for the best interest of his clients and acts at a diligent advocate! Thank you Thomson Rogers for standing by your clients!!

Dylan Itzikowitz

I couldn't be happier with Sloan & Thompson Rogers level of support on my case. They provided constant stable support to my family for the whole four years. Whenever my anxieties about the case were high, I was reminded to 'trust my lawyer' and I am very lucky that that lawyer was Sloan!

Raptors Fan

I am extremely grateful for the hard work Carr Hatch put into my case. Unfortunately for the first half of my case I wasn’t being properly represented. Everything was extremely sloppy and there was absolutely no progression whatsoever. I needed to focus on recovery and recovery ONLY. Which is why I decided to switch over to Thomson Rogers after doing some research. Being rated one of the top law firms in Canada, it was a no brainer for me. As soon as I was assigned to Mr. Hatch, my case started going into the right direction shortly after. I have settled my case and I honestly could not be any happier with the results! That’s from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much Mr. Hatch and your lovely team for being so patient, sympathetic and understanding with me through one of the hardest times in my life. Without a doubt I would recommend Thomson Rogers and Carr Hatch to all my family and friends.

Don Carson

Thomson Roger's, what can I say? LOTS! First and foremost, Thank you, Stephen Birman and Erinna, you two are the very best. I'd also like to thank Stephen's team of many. You always made us feel like we were part of the team. Stephen and Erinna kept us up to date at all stages of this process, also, if we didn't understand something they were happy to explain it. Many time's if I called Stephen, he actually would pick up the phone...no receptionist, just directly. As for Stephen's assistant, Erinna, I talked to her on a weekly basis. We became friends, she's the best! Thank you, Stephen and Erinna , sincerely Donna and Brian Carson

Michael Robert Sharpe

I suffered a devastating personal injury and had exhausted every avenue possible in attempting to receive any compensation from the company responsible for it. I was literally at my wit’s end and that’s when I found Thomson Rogers and more specifically I found Stephen Birman. From our initial meeting his personal demeanor and professionalism were instantly calming. He was also able to concisely give me the facts and options available to me with a firm guarantee that should I choose, he would do everything possible to fight for my rights and ensure that I acquired just and fair indemnity for my personal suffering and loss. I placed my full trust in him to aid and guide me through the entire litigation process. It was the best decision I have ever made. His capacity in obtaining competent opinions from surgeons, forensic experts as well as numerous other evidentiary sources was a fine example of his skill and qualification. On a personal level, having him by my side during the face to face meetings gave me a greater confidence by watching his negotiation and arbitration experience and dexterity. Ultimately, it was his proficiency and expertise that maneuvered us through a very complicated campaign. It was with his support that I was finally able to obtain equitable reparation and validation for my pain and bereavement. It is my hope for anyone in a similar situation that they too may have the privilege of having Stephen Birman and Thomson Rogers represent them. Sincerely, Michael Sharpe

Crystal Tao

Professional team.

Following my MVA, Sloan H. Mandel & staff from Thompson Rogers handled my case wonderfully. I was able to ease my mind and focus on rehabilitation thanks to the diligence of the firm.

Don Tuer

When you engage Thomson Roger's you can be assured you are in excellent hands. Special thanks to Stephen M. Birman who handled my case.

Ryan Edmonds

A great firm! All the referrals I've sent to Stephen Birman and his team at Thomson Rogers have been thrilled with not only the result achieved, but also the high quality of responsive and professional service along the way.

Den Lebeau

We, unfortunately, needed the services of a personal injury lawyer. My wife was seriously injured in an accident and it has changed our lives forever. This is what brought us to Ian Furlong, David MacDonald, and all the wonderful people at Thompson Rogers. Personal injury cases are challenging things to have to go through. Sure, it can be easy and over quickly if you go with what I call "back of the bus lawyers", but you will not get the outcome you deserve. You need a trial lawyer to fight for you and the team at Thompson Rogers did that for us. I'm sorry if you find yourself looking for a personal injury lawyer, but we couldn't be happier with the care and people at Thompson Rogers.

Susan Goode

I’ve been fortunate to work with many lawyers at Thomson, Rogers over the years, and have always been impressed by their knowledge, professionalism, and commitment to their clients. They are an excellent firm made up of a comprehensive team of professionals rooted in best practices, compassion, and care. Well done!

Aaron Little

Overall I've been thrilled with the way they dealt with my case. Always very upfront and honest, gave me all the possibilities, and never had to wait for them to get back to me. Often Stephen would respond by email or by phone within minutes of me sending an email, and often after hours even when I told him that wasn't necessary. My case was resolved and settled and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Roger Cherry

Many years back, like 9 to be exact, I experienced an accident That almost took my life, but I survived.I spent months in a hospital bed and when I got out, I found it very difficult to get support and help in my recovery. I even tried what I thought was a good lawyer to help me. A bad choice. Then one day a driver taking me to an appointment, suggested I call David at Thomson Rogers. That call changed my life for ever. Thomson Rogers took my case on and spent almost 2 years supporting my needs, fighting for my physical and mental support needs, as well as fighting for my future. Without David and the team, I would have been still relying on the ambulance chaser, who did nothing for me. Thank you very much to David MacDonald and the whole family at Thomson Rogers Lawyers

Marissa Demianiw

I was injured in a car accident that left me in need of a lot of rehabilitation. Stephen Birman was instrumental in ensuring I received funding for medical treatments. He also made invaluable recommendations for a supportive allied health team around me, which he helped to coordinate. During the whole process, I felt very supported. Stephen Birman is very personable and professional and his level of expertise is evident. I'm so glad to have had him on my case and I can't thank him and his team enough for the resolution and closure that I received.

Monica

My Lawyers; David McDonald, Steven Birman and Lucy Jackson, along with Senior Law Clerk Christina Chimonides, are an absolute, amazing legal team. My late brother, also a lawyer, was very impressed with them. I am very impressed with their knowledge, professionalism, quick responses, genuine compassion, and no-nonsense attitude in dealing with defendants in my case. I am very happy with the work done so far on my case. I highly recommend this legal team!!

Shaun Martins

The team at Thomson Rogers helped make our traumatic experience easier to endure. It was comfortable communicating with Leonard Kunka, Michael Holden and Carmen Spano on a regular basis. And straight through to our time of settlement. And as a result, I will always recommend their service and expertise if anyone experiences an unfortunate traumatic event such as ours.

Melanie Telford

Settled with my insurance using Thomson Rogers. Super attentive and responsive to any questions asked in person and via email during settlement and even years after. I'm very happy with the results. As a client with a brain injury, they made things very easily understandable for me.

Paul A

Big mistake choosing this law firm, they are completely unreasonable, slackers who don’t work on evidence & build our credibility but will say leave lawyering to us. In the end they will blame that our case has a lots of risk associated. Sloane made sign a retainer such a way he highlights saying we charge only 15% but charged over 40% fees which is legally covered by their fine print that he said dont worry just ignore, in those stressful moments with injuries & trauma we also overlook hearing their pretense. Unfortunately we suffer not only as accident victims but also as prey to these ppl. Upon 2nd opinion with other firm I realise lots of TR cases are coming to them. This review is by no means a fake one. Its our true experience.

Dawna Armoogam

My lawyer with Thomson Rogers, Darcy Merkur, was always very professional and quick to respond to me personally. It made me feel like I could have been his only client at the time. I felt that with this company and what they were doing for me, that I was in the best of hands.

Stephanie Lytle

Thomson Roger’s is hands down the best Law Firm in all of Ontario. David MacDonald was extremely thorough, thoughtful and patient throughout our legal proceedings. Every employee I dealt with was very kind and friendly as well. At the end of the day Thomson Rogers and David MacDonald are a 10 out of 10 in my books. Stephanie Lytle

Vandana T

Extremely lucky to have Robert Ben as my mother's personal injury lawyer. As a lawyer myself, I recognize a good one when I see one and Thomson Rogers are the best personal injury lawyers around. Good practical advice with realistic options so you can make a good decision about settling a personal injury case.

Kristyl Dubois

Very friendly in a professional way.

derrick oliver-dewan

Without Thomson Rogers, I'm not sure what my future would hold. Without the professional and courteous help from the likes of Len, Alex, and Michael, it would be tedious trudging. In 2012, I lost both legs, below the knee, and had all 10 fingers, to the first knuckle, amputated. Pure and utter pain. Without their help, positive reinforcement, and supreme communication skills, my future would be bleak. The road ahead would have been an uphill battle, a real a tough climb too, so I'm eternally grateful for the help, and so glad they were on my side. With Thomson Rogers, you see, my future is not daunting at all, it's financially secure. Instead of fear, fear of the unknown, I now have peace of mind. And, I can't the entire team enough. Thank-you for everything.

Ramzee Tams

The most PROFESSIONAL & CARING law firm. Stephen Birman will go to the end of the Earth to help his clients out. Very thorough and attentive in his work. Never have I seen a lawyer/firm show so much compassion and conduct business in a way that makes their clients feel like they are truly looking out for their best interests. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Anish Anish

Darcy your professionalism, friendly attitude and willingness to help with any of my inquiries and or concerns were tremendously impactful in my life. I never imagined that working with a lawyer would be such a pleasant experience and working with you has set the bar extremely high. You always made yourself available for me to answer any questions and kept me calm when things were really stressful for me and my family. I couldn't imagine anyone else getting me the results you provided. I am grateful for all that you have done for me and my family and we will forever consider you as a friend. I would recommend you anytime to anyone who's suffered a car accident or any type of personal injury!

Mary Ann Crompton

A car accident where the at fault driver of the accident fled the scene, left my spouse with severe injuries. Thomson Rogers, more specifically Darcy Merkur who was highly recommended (after fighting for 5 years with no results with another firm) finally got us acceptable results. He was so professional and kind. We were able to do most of the communication through emails and phone calls as we lived an hour away. I have referred him since and would call him first this time, should I ever need help again. M. Crompton

Pentti Savolainen

When I was recovering at home from severe injuries resulting from a multi vehicle accident, I talked to a neighbour. He was a lawyer who worked at Thomson Rogers and was familiar with the work and reputation of Sloan Mandel. During our first meeting, I was convinced that my case would be in good hands with Sloan. His professionalism, knowledge and client support were crucial in bringing a very complicated case to a reasonably negotiated settlement.

Hazel Wood

Thomson Rogers provides top notch legal services to their clients!

Usman St

Stephen and Erinna at Thomson Rogers law firm were very professional in handling our case. Stephen and his team provided us their best service and I am very grateful for their help,patience and hard work. Once again Stephen and Erinna thank you, you guys are the best , responsible and highly qualified lawyers. I definitely recommend Stephen and his team.

Jashan Kamalpuria

I had an accident 2 years ago and “Sloan” at Thomson Rogers lawyers helped me out in this difficult situation where no one else could handle this case. Whole of the team at Thomson rogers was very professional, amazing and kept me updated on my case. I am eternally grateful to everyone at Thomson rogers lawyers. Thank you so much!

Kiana Seki

I got into a motorcycle accident in 2016, and ever since I found Thomson Rogers they permanently changed my life. My lawyer was Carr Hatch, he was absolutely so patient with me dealing with my constant neediness and made sure my mind was at ease every step of the way. I can't emphasize the amount of gratitude that I owe to the Thomson Rogers team, especially to Carr. Highly recommend. Hopefully I never have to see you guys again but if something ever were to happen again, I know exactly where to go. Thanks again Guys!!

john wightman

In April 2014 I was involved in a traffic accident on the Gardiner Expressway in Toronto. I was hit from behind while at a dead stop by another driver travelling at roughly 90 Kms/hour. As a result of the accident I was left with head, neck, shoulder and back injuries. A good friend recommended that I speak with Thomson Rogers and specifically with Stephen Birman one of the Partners of the firm. Stephen took the time to meet with me to discuss the details of my accident and together with a diary that I kept from the day of the accident, he took copious notes of the event and laid out the approach that he would take to represent me. Due to the nature of my injuries, I regularly met with doctors and specialists to address my medical condition over a period of more than 2 years and I met with Stephen on a regular basis to discuss my medical condition and to obtain updates on the status of the work being done by the Firm to as part of the preparation of the Statement of Claim that was being prepared on my behalf. The attention to detail, the communication and the approach used by Stephen was first class and exceeded my expectations. Over a period of more than 2 years, Stephen represented me and my Statement of Claim eventually resulted in mediation taking place in late 2016. Stephen fully briefed me before the mediation and he outlined the process and what I should expect to take place on the day of the mediation. The result, an acceptable settlement was reached in late 2016. If you are looking for a first class firm to represent you in the event you are in an accident, I recommend that you contact Thomson Rogers and Stephen Birman. Many thanks to the firm for representing me during this difficult time in my life. John Wightman

lopez bernie

I had a fantastic experience with Mr.Birman. I recommend Mr.Birman and Thomson Rogers every day of the week. Mr.Birman took over my case and i had peace of mind through the entire process.

grant Hallman

Following a nasty trip-and-fall injury in Barrie, Sloan Mandel carried my case to a successful conclusion. He and his support staff were unfailingly sympathetic, helpful and knowledgeable. Sloan is the person you want in your corner when something nasty and costly has happened to you. I would unreservedly recommend this firm to anyone who has been injured through negligence.

Andrea Donaldson

Richard Halpern and Kate Cahill are highly skilled lawyers with the expertise necessary to handle complex birth injury cases. I have no hesitation recommending Richard and Kate for any birth injury or other medical malpractice claim.

Daniel Sloan

This law firm is simply amazing, does great work and I cannot be more satisfied than I already am with the experience! My mother was struck by a vehicle some time ago and required legal assistance and advice. Her attorney at the firm was Stephen M. Birman. He was very kind and professional from the very first meeting and readily available through phone and emails whenever necessary. I, honestly, didn't expect to receive a lot of help. The whole insurance claims process seemed very daunting. My mother is not financially well-off and lives day by day with the little money she has. My mother didn't even think pursing legal action was worth it because she didn't think she could receive anything. We were both VERY surprised! Right off the bat, he got my mother some financial assistance through accident benefits and a personal support worker to help my mother through her recovery. I thought this sort of help would take forever, but it all happened very fast. The actual process in receiving further compensation took much longer, but that's perfectly normal. My mother could not believe how much compensation she received when the whole process was over. She had never seen so much money in her life! And she is now much better off both physically and mentally after the accident! Thank you very much Stephen for providing exceptional service! I cannot praise and recommend using this law firm and Stephen M Birman more than I already have!!

Kj Williams

I am writing on behalf of my fiancee and our experience with Thomson Roger's. Nov 2018 in the blink of an eye our lives were changed with my fiancee being involved in a motorcycle accident leaving him a quadriplegic. Within 4 days I had secured Thomson Roger's to represent him and I am so glad we did. Our lawyer Stacey Steven's was assigned to the case and she was amazing every step of the way. We have already settled the case in record time and we are pleased. We will highly recommend this firm in the future

Deborah Rowden

Excellent results

L. Graham

An extremely professional and knowledgeable lawyer. We are so thankful we had Mr. Sloan Mandel and his dedicated team assisting us at the most difficult time ever. Always there to help us and answer any questions or concerns in the most compassionate way. A skilled and quality lawyer in every way that we could completely count on and sincerely provided only the very best services to our family. Thank you.

Ihor Birka

Over many years, we received not only outstanding professional support but also emotional understanding from the entire team of Thomson Rogers, especially Mr. Darcy Merkur and Mr. Leonard Kunka. We will always be thankful for the help they gave us during such a difficult time in our lives.

Lorann Ginger

no words can describe how disappointed I am in this firm.

Kim Davies

If you are injured but have not suffered an severe amputation or other immediately obvious "catastrophic injury" these lawyers will ignore you for 2 years untill your case is ready for a catistropic assessment. Since my assessment and my catistropic determination (and a new lawyer) things have looked up.... but those initial 2 years I really needed support were long.

Ash Hari

Mr.david Macdonald is hard working caring and sincere lawyer. I highly recommend david to anyone who has car accident or personal injury

Ebyan Hassan

My experiences with Thompson Rogers has been wonderful. Thanks to Stephen Birman, he has helped me with the entire process! His advice was sound from the beginning and I got exactly what I wanted. Thanks Stephen.

dimitra hartsias

Thomson Rogers handled my experience with genuine care. Stephen Birman and his team were clear and concise with me every step of the way. They ensured that communication was always timely and always responded to any concern or question that I may have had with my personal injury case. Thankyou Stephen Birman.

Patti Lemene

It has been just over 5 years since my accident. David Macdonald and his team that included Robert Ben, Diane Bregg and the rest of Thomson Rogers assistants are beyond competent. They are a compassionate team that fight tooth and nail against the insurance companies to get you the best possible settlement without deepening their pockets and taking from yours. I can honestly say that I made the best decision one year after my accident to dismiss my original lawyer and hire David Macdonald. I was so unhappy with my previous lawyer due to the fact that she was making me feel unjust in my needs and increased my level of depression and lack of purpose. My neuropsychologist suggested that I might want to consider changing lawyers based on the unneeded mental anguish that my previous lawyer was adding to my life especially when the accident wasn’t my fault. When I interviewed three lawyers, my comfort and decision was made in choosing David MacDonald at Thomson Rogers. He has won several awards for civil litigations because he knows what he is doing and is extremely good at what he does. David, Robert or Diane would call me within hours to at most a day to answer any of my questions. They would help clarify and repeat information in layman’s terms for me to understand. I can’t say enough about David Macdonald and Robert Ben. It has been a long and hard road to get to a settlement but I can assure you that you are in very good hands. I highly recommend this team if you need legal counsel for a civil litigation case.

Brenda Plant

I was very satisfied with the professional service I received from Darcy Merkur and the personal way he handled himself made me very comfortable.

Hal Griffith

Stephen was very helpful and professional..he always made himself available to me whenever I needed to ask a question or discuss an issue with him. He was very good at resolving our case in a timely and efficient manner. He explained things very clearly when we didn’t understand and made us feel valued.

My husband was hit by a car and suffered very serious injuries. A family member who had Darcy Merkur from Thomson Rogers represent them advised that I contact Darcy for advice. From the moment Carmen and I met him at the Rehab Hospital, I knew that we were dealing with a caring and extremely skilled professional. Darcy gave us a clear understanding of the process and assured us that we would deal directly with him and his staff and he would make sure that my husband had the services he needed for his recovery. This gave me a great sense of relief. Throughout the first year when so many decisions were required I knew that I could count on Darcy to immediately respond to my questions and direct the excellent staff so that my husband received the appropriate equipment and care. Everyone we dealt with provided excellent service including the staff at Thomson Rogers, the Occupational Therapist, the Physio Therapists and my husband's care provider Sam Dean. We really believe that the support that Darcy ensured my husband received made a significant difference in his recovery. As our case progressed Darcy advised us with realistic advice, expertise and compassion. Our case was completed in a reasonable time frame and although my husband will always have to deal with the impact of his injuries on his health and lifestyle, the care and compensation for future care have helped us move on. (Note: Prior to reaching out to Darcy I had another very aggressive lawyer from another firm approach me. That lawyer who not only made me feel uncomfortable was going to charge an unreasonable fee. I am so glad that we contacted Darcy and that he agreed to represent us.)

When our son was involved in an accident and sustained a catastrophic brain injury, Sloan Mandel handled any issues we had with our accident benefit insurer and our tort case. We can't thank him enough for taking that burden from us and successfully assuring our sons future.

I thank God for leading me to Darcy Merkur. After my accident, I was in constant pain and worried about paying for months of physiotherapy. Everyday tasks became almost impossible, and it all became overwhelming quite quickly. Darcy and his amazing team were my lifeline out of the maze. Darcy managed to calm my anxiety, not only was he direct and honest, but also very patient. He provided my family and me with constant updates and clear direction throughout the legal process and delivered more than we had hoped for. Although my injury left me with life-altering consequences, I will be eternally grateful for the legal expertise provided. I would not hesitate to recommend Darcy Merkur and Thomson Rogers to anyone looking for sound and expert advice.

I can't speak highly enough about Stacey Stevens and all that she has done for my young family after my motor vehicle accident. Stacey went above and beyond to help me and even came to my home and if i have to describe Stacey in one word it will be an ANGEL. Stacey has an amazing team that takes care of everything and they truly care about their clients and their wellbeing. Stacey helped me more than just a car accident and i am very thankful and grateful for Stacey. Accidents can happen to anyone and dealing with insurance companies can be a nightmare but Stacey and her team took care of everything and my situation was as complicated as it gets but Stacey never quit and worked hard and Stacey's main goal was and still is to make sure that i am ok and that is just amazing to see. I would recommend Stacey Stevens to anyone who had been an accident or needs a lawyer NO MATTER what's their situation is and know that you will have an ANGEL in your corner that truly cares about you and will do anything to help you. From my 3 young boys Zain, Zakaria, Zia and me, from the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU Stacey Stevens and God bless you.

We were very fortunate to be referred to Stephen Birman at Thomson Rogers 6 years ago. Mr. Birman is professional, responsive and a man of his words. He worked on our case tirelessly over 5 year and was our champion to ensure an equitable outcome. We appreciate the excellent service he and and his associates at Thomson Rogers provided.

Kassie Souva

2 1/2 years of exceptional 'customer service' from the moment David MacDonald at Thomson Rogers took over my case. I was not 'just a file or a number', I was very much a 'person', being taken care of and helped along my rehabilitation journey after suffering a Traumatic Brain Injury in a motorcycle accident. Whatever and whoever I needed to get better was promptly put in place, up and running with incredible service providers. Diane Bregg was amazing! My TBI caused incredible anxiety and she was patient yet thorough, explaining everything to me along the way, clarifying any questions I had. Robert Ben provided incredible support during my Examination for Discovery. Thomson Rogers provided me the BEST legal team led by David MacDonald. I will forever be grateful as a year and half later I can afford the people I need as I continue my recovery journey. David, Diane and Robert worked WITH me as opposed to for me n I couldn't have asked for a better team!

Wally Jaroslawski

I have had the pleasure getting to know many of the lawyers at Thomson Rogers over the years. They provide clients with representation that is second to none. They are highly skilled, caring, compassionate and put their clients needs first. I have referred friends and colleagues to the firm and will continue to do so.

I would like to thank Stacey Stevens and her team at Thomson Rogers for all their help. Stacey is kind, caring and dedicated to her clients. I found stacey at a difficult time in my recovery from a MVA, and I felt like I could focus on healing while she helped take care of the legal side. I knew I was in good hands. I was happy with the settlement she got me as it was more than we were both expecting. I would not hesitate to recommend Stacey Stevens and Thomson Rogers to anyone needing a personal injury lawyer. Thank you Stacey, from the bottom of my heart. I appreciate all your hard work.

I was very impressed with Darcy Merkur at Thomson Rogers! He is knowledgeable about the law, and he will advocate for you to ensure that you receive what is rightfully entitled to you. I highly recommend Darcy!

My first meeting with Stephen Birman was on Friday May 17, 2013 at the 390 Bay Street offices of Thomson Rogers. Though in pain after a motor car accident, I was wowed by his courteous listening and tone reflected in his responses. His attitude and behaviour turned out to be therapeutic by the way he empathized and solved problems. Throughout our interractions which went on till October 2016, Stephen was highly professional. He came accross - borne out by results he obtained - as very competent, confident, and experienced in handling accident benefit and tort claims. He provided invaluable advice, set the right expectations and delivered beyond the set expectations. Stephen Birman is an excellent communicator. In being so, he allayed my fears, my anxieties and lowered my stress levels. The masterful way in which he orchestrated/coordinated referrals to/with various therapists went a very long way in providing me with the healing I needed. Stephen Birman is a natural, born into his profession. I was lucky to have met Stephen Birman of Thomson Rogers upon whom I cast all my accident benefit and tort claims cares. I could not have had any better!

Roberta Hochman

Darcy Merkur is kind, compassionate, professional and enormously knowledgeable about the practice of law...a winning combination for his clients. I was in a pedestrian accident, hit by a vehicle rushing for a parking lot space. I was injured physically and sustained comparable emotional trauma. Lucky for me I was referred to Darcy by a friend. He took charge of my case, informing me of my rights, guiding me through the legal process, keeping me informed, and advising me at each step. It was a lengthy process but he was calm, patient and persistent throughout until we achieved a successful outcome. I have recommended Darcy and Thomson Rogers to others requiring legal representation and will continue to do so. He made a challenging, stressful situation as manageable as it could have been and I will always be grateful for his help through a very difficult time.

Sandra Pacheco

Darcy Merkur at Thomson Rogers was amazing to work with. He was knowledgable, professional, courteous, empathic and listened to my story, resulting in a favorable outcome. He definitely exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Darcy Merkur at Thomson Rogers to anyone looking for an injury Lawyer.

In 2016 when my husband suffered a severe brain injury, it was a family nightmare. However, Darcy Merker of Thomson Rogers made the difficult journey for me and my family so easy with his professionalism, empathy and awesome services. He was always a phone call away. His team worked with us very efficiently throughout the process which was prompt and satisfactory. We thank Mr. Merker and would more than highly recommend his service.

Louise Arruda

Stephen went beyond the call of duty in assisting my relative who suffered a traumatic head injury due to an accident. In less than a year, Stephen successfully negotiated an excellent settlement for him and ensured that he received the best of care and equipment from the very first month. He was extremely knowledgeable and well connected to community and treatment resources. Therefore, my relative was expertly assessed and treated throughout his recovery. Stephen also guided us to excellent financial guidance for the settlement funds. I do not think anyone else could have done a better job for us than Stephen did. Sincerely Louise Arruda

Terry-Lynn Weese

My family and I are extremely grateful for the hard work and dedication Denitza Koev from Thomson and Rogers demonstrated while representing us. Throughout the long four year process of expropriation she has been an incredible advocate, educator and strong team player. The City would often use bullying tactics on us which left us feeling helpless. Denitza would always reassure and redirect the power and control back to us. She would not stand down to even the smallest injustice the City would impose on us. Any lack of understanding on my part of the expropriation process would be clarified and explained to me in great detail by Denitza. Gaining a thorough understanding empowered me to make the right decisions throughout the process. She would always contact me back in a timely manner. There was never a time I was left wondering what was happening with the case. Ultimately, we ended up moving into a more superior home and in a more desirable neighborhood. We are extremely happy with the final results and could not have had a better outcome thanks to Denitza Koev.

I was in a car accident a few years ago & David MacDonald at Thomson Rogers was my lawyer. David & his team (Ian, Diane & Elaine) all did an excellent job! They were always quick to get back to me whenever I called and pleasant to deal with. David was very diligent and went above and beyond in handling my case. David's knowledge of the law and the written material he prepared (for example, a mediation memorandum) were outstanding & very persuasive. His analytical skills and judgment were very good as well. I recommend David highly.

wendy tibbles

Thomson Rogers gave me back my son when the medical community felt they had gone as far as they could. David MacDonald, our lawyer, supported us all the way, advising, listening, supporting and fighting for my son's future. Due to David MacDonald and all the good people at Thomson Rogers my son has a full and comfortable life in spite of his disabilities. Twenty-seven years later David still keeps in touch!

When I was injured in a very serious and traumatic accident, Stephen Birman helped me make sure I would get the compensation I needed. I am grateful for his professionalism and dedication to aid and guide me through the entire litigation process. Although I was anxious for my future, Mr. Birman and his whole team truly supported me during our time together. I always had an open line of communication with the team and him, with continuous updates on my case. No matter what the question was, the firm would answer it sincerely. Consultants hired by Mr. Birman gave me various recommendations to improve my health and recovery. I was put at ease knowing my case was in such capable and caring hands. With my stress levels down I was able to focus more on my health. In the end, my case was wrapped up relatively quickly with a fair settlement. Overall, I thank Stephen Birman and his team, and would highly recommend Thomson Rogers Law Firm. - Minh

Bozena Dupira

I had an accident in 2015 and when I was looking for a lawyer, I found Thomson Rogers at the hardest time of my life I'm thrilled that I found them because I got to work with Deanna Gilbert. She is an incredible lawyer. Deanna and her team kept me informed of what was happening with my case, I found her to be thoughtful and kind and compassionate. If it wasn't for her I would have not received the help I did and my rehabilitation outcome would have been different. Because of her and her team I was able to focus on healing and getting better. I'm so grateful to Deanna for taking such good care of me and getting the best possible outcome for my case. She has made a world of a difference in my life and I would certainly recommend her to anyone who has had a personal injury. She will fight for you until the end.

Angela Singh

I am eternally grateful for Darcy representing me. His research, diligence and professionalism makes him an exceptional lawyer. Darcy was the first lawyer I consulted with and I never bothered to consider meeting with any other firm. He was hired at our first meeting and that says a lot about his passion, dedication and ability to "argue his case". Very accomplished Lawyer!

Cameron Shoesmith

Darcy Merkur and his incredible team was a beacon of light for my personal injury case. Mr. Merkur was my last hope of continuing my ABI treatments. After visiting several lawyers in my area who couldnt help me. I decided to make a trip to Toronto to see what the legandary Thomson Rodgers had to say about my brain Injury case. My insurance was going to hit the time limit and stop covering me in 1 year, I had put off seeing a lawyer right away and this was 9 years later. Needless to say Thompson and Roger's changed my life, I'm so incredibly thankfull for Mr.Merkurs hard work and astounded at the results. I ended up getting the help I so desperately needed when all hope seemed lost. 10/10 highly recommend.

Karla Forgaard-Pullen MSW RSW

I have several clients in common with Thomson Rogers and Stephen Birman. As a member of the clients' treatment team post accident, I find this firm and Stepehn to be the best at keeping the client and the team informed of progress. I also appreciate Stephen's sensitive handling of clients' needs during the (sometimes) long process toward settlement.

Supeshala Wijesuriya

When one encounters a traumatic life altering circumstance, it’s rather difficult to see the ‘silver lining’; however, I consider being represented by Stephen Birman to be just that – the very best thing that happened during the most challenging of times. Stephen’s knowledge and compassion coupled with his high regard for integrity and professionalism truly makes him exceptional. From the very outset, his advice to me was very simple – to focus my efforts on my recovery, he’ll focus his efforts on the legalities – as simple as that may sound – it speaks volumes to his competence, integrity and professionalism – qualities that were of utmost importance to me. At every turn, he kept me well informed, always direct and precise and never left pondering of the outcome. From being a sounding board during difficult times, to ensuring every concern of mine was thoroughly addressed (and responding to emails and voice messages within the hour!), he ensured I was consistently provided excellent service. Thank you Stephen for all you’ve done for me, words will never be able to capture my appreciation; I cannot imagine getting through the past few years without your guidance and support. You are truly gifted at what you do!

Sasan Bakh

I was in a severe car accident with a catastrophic brain injury. While I was at the hospital I happened to be informed about Thomson Rogers. When my family memebr contacted them, Darcy Merkur arrived and immediately made me feel like I was in good hands. Following my transition home I was met with great people who helped me recover to the best of my abilities. They made me feel comfortable and I enjoyed every meeting we had. Darcy helped me with every aspect and I have nothing but gratitude for him and the entire staff.

I was on my way to work at 7:00 am, when suddenly I was t-boned on the highway. Instantly, I lost feeling in my feet. I was taken to a trauma centre and had suffered multiple low-back spinal fractures, causing a disc impingement. Through a referral of a friend, we reached out to Stephen Birman at Thompson Rogers. Stephen and his team of experts supported my need for physical and occupational rehabilitation, and counsel during the course of my recovery. They work with professionalism and dedication to my case, to the assurance of a positive long term outcome for me and my family. Thank you Stephen for your assistance, it truly meant the world.

Robin Bird

Although my lawyer Melaine LaRock has been doing the majority of my divorce work for free and trade for services. She has not be able to get me a settlement with my former husband. I am very disappointed and feels she’s dragging this case out. Thank god they have been doing the majority of my work for free. I do not recommend this form to anyone.

rick brown

An amazing lawyer who was there when I needed someone to listen. I was in a motorcycle accident with no tort and charged with careless driving. I was laying in a hospital bed with a fractured neck, two broken wrists, a broken ankle which later developed into CRPS. After a visit from the insurance company occupational therapist to assess my injuries, I knew I needed help in a big way! I was scared, pain so bad from nerve damage and my thoughts were so mixed up from pain killers and emotional stress, I couldn't help or explain myself. I come from a small town north of Toronto, because of the seriousness of my injuries I was put in a geriatric ward. A hospital staff member seeing what I was going through, my bleak future and old people dying around me, gave me an information package from Darcy Merkur. I called Darcy and Darcy was there! That is when everything changed! I'm not saying it was easy, I was on that ward for eleven weeks, being transferred to larger hospitals for CRT's, MRI's, surgeons who had to re break my fractures because they originally set wrong and specialist after specialist. Since there was no tort, Darcy put me in contact with an AMAZING Occupational Therapist who coordinated my recovery. To make a 3yr and 9-month story short, Darcy maintained a record of my injuries, Without Pay and regularly kept in contact with me. My OC was with me every step of the way. I received a Catastrophic Designation and Darcy was there with all my records. I’m not able to work now, but because of this Amazing, Generous lawyer, I received a settlement that ensures a full life. THANK YOU Darcy, you are the Best and thank you for being there! R. Brown

Meggie Hilborn
