Customized Care from Our Legal Team

No two clients are the same, and our team is committed to taking a highly customized approach to our services. When you contact us about wills and probates, we'll schedule a meeting at your earliest convenience. We will take the time to understand your situation, your wishes, and any concerns you have before moving forward.

Will Services

Writing your will is one of the most important things you can do to ensure a smooth transition for your family and loved ones in the case of your death. Your will states your wishes and who will inherit your assets once you pass.

It is never too early to write your will, and while thinking about death may not be cheerful, you never know what the future holds. Being prepared in the case of an untimely death is much better than having your family scramble to decide what to do with your estate.

If you are interested in writing a will or changing your will, our expert team is more than happy to help. Reach us to get started.

Probate Services

The probate process happens in the event of your death or the death of a loved one. Probate is a legal process by which one's will is reviewed, and the assets are distributed according to the wishes of the deceased.

If the deceased does not have a will, the probate process will distribute the assets according to state laws.

The probate process isn't always easy, but our team will work to make it as smooth and conflict-free as possible. We understand that families come to us in difficult times, and we'll do everything we can to support you and get these matters squared away in a timely fashion.

Competitive Rates on Probate and Will Services

Our team wants to deliver will and probate services to as many deserving clients as possible, and that's why we are proud to offer some of the best rates in the area. When you choose to work with our lawyers, you can expect rates that are:

  • Fair
  • Competitive
  • Transparent

If you want to learn just how much these legal services will cost you, don't hesitate to reach our team at any time.

Am I Entitled to Personal Injury Compensation in Canada?

You’re entitled to compensation if you’ve been:

  • Injured in an accident
  • Hurt due to unsafe premises
  • Inflicted with pain due to the negligence of a third party

Some common personal injury cases are due to:

  • Motor Vehicle Accidents
  • Slips and Falls
  • Medical Malpractice
  • Birth Injury
  • Long-Term Disability
  • Brain and Spinal Cord Injury
  • Wrongful Death

If any of the above situations concern you or a loved one, reach out to our team of legal experts today. We have a large team of lawyers with specialties in nearly every avenue of personal injury law. Whatever your case may be, we have the expertise to help.

The laws in Canada are clear: if you’ve been hurt by someone else’s negligence or carelessness, you are entitled to financial support from the guilty party. However, damages must be proved in front of the court. That’s where your lawyer from Verhaeghe Law Office comes in.

This personal injury compensation is to help cover the costs related to mobility issues you may have developed, health care costs directly related to the injury, rehabilitation costs, as well as damages caused by loss of income and the stress related to the incident.

When you partner with an experienced law firm with years of successfully obtaining results for clients in personal injury, you maximize your chances of obtaining the greatest possible settlement—reducing you and your family’s financial stress and allowing you to move on from this incident.

Find a Personal Injury Lawyer Now

Time is of the essence in personal injury cases; they must be filed by the plaintiff (the victim of the injury) within two years of the incident in most cases. This can be stressful and unfair to the plaintiff, who is usually trying to regain their physical faculties within this period.

Quickly soliciting help from a top personal injury firm—such as Verhaeghe Law Office—as soon as you or your injured family member is able will increase your chance of success. There is a lot of paperwork that must be collected in a compelling personal injury case. By speaking with our personal injury lawyers, we get the ball rolling for you, reducing the amount of work you will need to take on during a time when you should be healing from your injury.

Meeting with Your Personal Injury Lawyer for the First Time

From the moment you step into our office, your best interests are our priority. We believe your lawyer should make you feel safe and supported. That’s why we’ll begin your appointment by actively listening to you. Then, working with you, we’ll gather all the necessary information and documentation that will make up the foundation of your case. The building blocks of your case include:

  • Assessing Your Injury
  • Investigating the Liability of the Incident
  • Determining Fair Compensation

When we’ve established the details of your legal rights, we’ll attempt to reach a mutually beneficial resolution with the other party out-of-court. You can rely on your personal lawyer to advise you on your options at every stage of this process. In some cases, a settlement isn’t possible, and your best course of action will be going to trial. Our team has many years of in-court experience and is fully capable of protecting your financial and medical well-being in front of a judge, if necessary.

The Personal Injury Law Firm Committed to Serving You

Our law firm is known for providing our clients with a highly individualized approach. Your case is not just a number to us. We’ll listen carefully to your needs and desires and make sure your voice is heard. You can count on us to fight for your rights and the justice you deserve. We’ll use all the resources available to us to ensure an optimal outcome for your case.

Our legal team believes that you are under enough stress as it is. When you come to us for your personal injury claim, we’ll take the added weight of legal procedure off your shoulders, letting you get back to focusing on your recovery and rehabilitation. Entrust all aspects of your claims process to an experienced lawyer who is committed to serving you.

Accident Lawyers That Deal with Your Insurance Provider for You

Unfortunately, insurance companies are not always sympathetic to those who have just undergone an accident and are dealing with accident-related trauma. As a result, paperwork is often mismanaged, and the facts of the case are misreported.

This is where your personal injury lawyers step in. We’re very familiar with the procedures and formalities of insurance companies and can assist you with any insurance-related task. We’ll deal with your insurance provider on your behalf, ensuring a streamlined process with no misinformation.
