| Did you know that our three partners at Burn Tucker Lachaîne have been certified as specialist in civil litigation by the Law Society of Ontario and are the only women in Ottawa to be certified as such?
The Law Society of Ontario is the legal regulatory body of lawyers and paralegals in Ontario. When you are licensed as a lawyer by the Law Society of Ontario, you can practice in any area of the law. Some of us practice in only one area and others practice in several areas of the law. The only distinction amongst lawyers licensed by the Law Society of Ontario is one where some lawyers are certified as specialists in a specific area of the law.

As such, if the person responsible for the accident is properly insured, the insurance company will respond to the lawsuit and essentially take the individual’s place. |
