I’m Bradley Pleavin, the Founder and President of Bradley Legal. My practice is solely dedicated to pursuing claims on behalf of individuals who have had disability claims wrongly or unfairly denied.

Bradley Legal is the start of a new initiative. We strive to provide a select group of clients dedicated and personalized legal services to serve you better. We maintain a small case load so we can provide a big impact. Because of this, we ensure your claim gets the attention and focus it deserves.

My pathway to working in disability law was neither direct nor planned. Following law school, I moved to Toronto, after accepting an articling position at the largest law firm in Canada. While the experience was valuable, the environment didn’t lend itself to the hands-on litigation work I most desired. To that end, I accepted my first role as a licensed lawyer with a small firm that focussed on insurance defence work – but more specifically long-term disability claims.

I gained years of concentrated experience defending claims on behalf of insurers, banks, and employers. I had the pleasure of working with wonderful mentors and colleagues and I am lucky to still consider them friends and respected colleagues in this field all these years later. That experience was invaluable on a professional level but I was not personally inspired by the work of representing corporate insurance and employers.

In 2012 I made a life defining choice – to “change sides” and I began representing exclusively disabled individuals. For 10 years I worked at one of the largest disability specialist firms in Canada, representing people from coast to coast. I am proud of the work me and my colleagues did, and the positive impact we had on thousands of lives.
