Nicholson Gluckstein Lawyers are ready to take on complex personal injury matters throughout Ontario, helping victims secure the compensation they deserve as they recover from their injuries. With offices in Toronto, Niagara and Ottawa, our team of experienced and compassionate lawyers are committed to assisting clients in returning to their highest functioning potential.

History of Full Circle Care

Nicholson Gluckstein Lawyers was founded in 1962 by Bernard Gluckstein, one of Canada’s most prominent Personal Injury lawyers for more than five decades. His success in the courtroom won him accolades and has helped build the reputation of Nicholson Gluckstein Lawyers as an honest and caring law firm. In addition, Bernard generously volunteers his free time to work with Personal Injury victims and people with disabilities, helping them lead productive and fulfilling lives.

Nicholson Gluckstein Lawyers is dedicated to supporting and empowering non-profit organizations and causes within our community, with these groups sometimes led by our former clients. Giving back is incredibly important to us, which is why we regularly sponsor annual conferences, symposia and social events for associations and foundations connected with the medical and disabled community.

Today, Bernard’s son Charles Gluckstein is leading the firm in innovation and thought leadership. An award-winning lawyer himself, Charles is known for his active support of the medical and disability communities. His transformative mindset and his embrace of technological advancements in law provide better and faster resolutions to all Gluckstein client cases.
