ACCESS TO JUSTICE AND CONTINGENCY FEES

Michael Thiele is today celebrating his 12th year of being called to the Bar of Ontario.  It has been 12 very good years of helping clients fight their cases and obtaining justice for them. Upon being being asked how access to justice has changed over that time Mr. Thiele noted that contingency fees--no fee until you win or settle-- as offered by Plant Quinn Thiele LLP were not actually a permitted practice in Ontario in 1997.  The change in the law allows Plant Quinn Thiele's personal injury client's  to pursue cases even though they do not have the money for litigation expenses. Plant Quinn Thiele LLP assumes the risk of those costs for the client and only gets reimbursed from a settlement or judgment.  This change in the law is a tremendous increase in access to justice for clients of Plant Quinn Thiele LLP.  Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyers-Plant Quinn Thiele LLP-- www.pqtlaw.com
