Practice Highlights

Stacey Stevens had years of experience fighting to make a difference in people’s lives before she joined the Ontario Bar in 2005. Before being accepted at Osgoode Hall Law School, she worked with people who were hurt in car accidents and their lawyers to ensure their clients received full compensation available for their injuries. She led the fight against the City of Pickering to win approval for its first non-profit housing development. She initiated a Breakfast for Learning Program in Durham Region, where she lives, that helps feed over 200 students a day.

While at Osgoode, Stacey won the Tom Wilcox Scholarship award given annually to the top three law students in Canada on the basis of academic achievement and dedication to insurance law. She worked with the Innocence Project and helped win the release of Romeo Phillion, a man who spent 31 years in jail for a crime he did not commit.

Her passion for justice continues through her pro bono work. In 2007, she advocated alongside renowned civil liberties lawyer Clayton Ruby and won a landmark Charter of Rights and Freedoms case that overthrew amendments to Ontario’s adoption laws on the basis of an individual’s right to privacy.

Since joining Thomson, Rogers in 2006, Stacey has helped her clients and their families receive over $2 million in compensation. She has represented people injured in car and motorcycle accidents, slips and falls, boating accidents, medical malpractice and who have been denied disability benefits. Although her office is in Toronto, Stacey maintains her “small town” roots. She and her family live in Central Ontario, and many of her clients are from Simcoe County, Durham Region, Kawartha Lakes and surrounding communities.

Says Stacey: “One can really make a difference in personal injury cases. No one plans on being hurt in an accident. It happens in the blink of an eye and can turn a person’s life into a state of turmoil. The last thing they need is to have to fight the insurance company for accident benefits at a time when their focus should be on recovery. That’s my job.”
