When you’re facing legal challenges—whether it’s a denied long-term disability claim, a wrongful dismissal, or an injury from an accident outside of the workplace—the last thing you want is to be overwhelmed by legal costs. At Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, we understand your concerns, and we’ve structured our fees to be as transparent, fair, and accessible as possible. Our focus is on delivering results that matter to you. Here are five key things you should know about our fees – and why working with us is a smart choice.
1. Free initial consultations for most cases
If you’re dealing with a legal issue, we believe that understanding your rights shouldn’t come with a financial burden. That’s why we offer free initial consultations for most cases across Canada, with services tailored to specific regions.
For insurance claims—including short or long-term disability, CPP Disability, life, mortgage or critical illness—we provide free consultations in all Canadian provinces except Quebec. If you’re facing a personal injury, such as a car accident or slip and fall, our free reviews are available in Ontario and Alberta. For employment law matters, we offer free consultations for many wrongful dismissal cases in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia.
In some situations, a more detailed assessment may be required, which could involve a consultation fee. This fee is always transparent and discussed upfront, ensuring you fully understand your rights and the best course of action.
If you’re unsure about your legal situation, our innovative Pocket Employment Lawyer tool is available online for free, providing immediate answers to common employment law questions and helping you determine if you might have a case.

2. No upfront fees—You pay when we win
Whenever possible, we offer a contingency fee structure, which means you don’t pay anything unless we successfully resolve your case. This approach removes financial barriers, making quality legal representation accessible to those who might otherwise be unable to afford it.
Regardless of the fee structure, our commitment to your case remains unwavering. You can trust that we are fully committed to achieving the best possible outcome for you. With a contingency fee, we only get paid when you do, and we work diligently to resolve your case efficiently and favourably, keeping your best interests at the forefront. Over the years, we’ve won millions of dollars in settlements for our clients, ensuring they receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
