Enough about my law school going down the chute. I’m tired of writing about it, and I’m sure you are tired reading about it. The fat lady hasn’t sung yet so the story isn’t over, but it’s time to move on to other things.

Recent news articles that featured the referral fee practices of a select few personal injury legal firms have cast a negative light on personal injury lawyers specifically, but on lawyers as a whole.

Common questions that clients have but seldom ask a lawyer when they go to see a lawyer for the first time is “what is a retainer?”, “How do retainers work?” and are there different types of retainers?” While most lawyers think that the answers to these basic client questions are self evident, the answers are not really self evident to clients or potential clients looking to engage the services of a lawyer, especially those contemplating retaining a lawyer for the first time. Therefore the purpose of this paper in a very general way is to explain what retainers are and the different types of retainers that lawyers can offer to perspective clients.
The elimination of mandatory mediation under Ontario’s new Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule was a mistake, Toronto-area personal injury lawyer Darryl Singer tells Law Times.
“It gets rid of a lot of files that then don’t have to go through to an arbitration,” says Singer, principal of Singer Barristers Professional Corporation.
