Meghan’s practice is devoted to all types of personal injury litigation on behalf of seriously injured plaintiffs and their families. She has genuine concern for the predicaments of her clients and goes the distance to do everything she can for the best possible result, in order to assist them in reshaping and rebuilding their lives. Meghan has appeared before the Superior Court of Justice, the Divisional Court, the Court of Appeal of Ontario, the Financial Services Commission, and the Licence Appeal Tribunal. She has also appeared before the Court of Queens Bench of
New Brunswick.
My clients’ lives have often been irreparably changed by their accident or disability. They require a caring ear, knowledgeable counsel, a creative problem-solver, and someone who is ready to go the distance. It is incredibly rewarding to be all of these things for my clients.
Meghan began her career defending insurance companies and quickly realized that her passion lies in assisting people whose lives have been forever impacted by unexpected events. She joined Howie, Sacks & Henry in 2004 and has enjoyed a full and rewarding career since.
Meghan is active in the legal community, holding several memberships with legal associations and organizations, writing for their publications and speaking at conferences and events. Meghan is on the Board of Directors of the Ontario Trial Lawyers’ Association, and volunteers as a mentor with the Women’s Law Association of Ontario. She is also heavily involved in fundraising efforts for a national charity, Shelter Movers. In the past, Meghan has volunteered with the Canadian Brain Injury Association and the Brain Injury Society of Toronto.
