Robert W. Becker Robert has been practicing personal injury, estate litigation, and insurance law since 1984, bringing more than four decades of legal experience to every client he serves.

He has also represented clients at numerous administrative tribunals, including the Financial Services Commission of Ontario, the Canada Pension Plan Review Tribunal, the Pension Appeal Board, and the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Tribunal. His work extends to mediations, settlement conferences, and arbitrations. In addition to personal injury and insurance matters, Robert has built a strong practice in estate litigation, representing clients in disputes over wills, powers of attorney, estate administration, and capacity issues. He holds Certificates in both Motor Vehicle Accident Law and Practice: Tort and Accident Benefits, and Estate Litigation from Osgoode Hall Law School of York University Professional Development. He is known for his thoughtful, strategic approach to resolving emotionally and legally complex estate matters, and he is deeply committed to advocating for fair outcomes in difficult family situations. He has also acted extensively in breach of contract actions, mostly from real estate purchases and sale. Earlier in his career, Robert balanced representing injured individuals with defending some of Ontario’s largest insurers and institutional defendants. His experience in both roles has given him valuable insight into how insurers and opposing counsel approach claims, which he uses to his clients' advantage—whether the matter involves personal injury, insurance, or estate disputes. His broader litigation experience includes professional negligence, property damage, and municipal liability claims.
