About Patrick Brown

Patrick Brown was called to the bar in 1993 and is an owner and partner of the firm. Having practiced personal injury in Ontario for over 25 years, his cases have involved children, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, wrongful death, biking/cycling injury, boating, daycare and camp negligence, drowning, road disrepair, and motor vehicle collisions. In addition, Patrick has extensive experience advocating for those suffering from hospital negligence and medical malpractice.

He is one of a select set of lawyers who have been certified as a Specialist in Civil Litigation, voted as a leading lawyer in Best Lawyers Canada, listed as Most Frequently Recommended by other lawyers in Lexpert®, and granted the AV Preeminent Rating from Martindale- Hubbell. Patrick is the past President of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association and was nominated as one of Canada’s Most Influential Lawyers in Canadian Lawyer Magazine. He was awarded the Professional Award of the Year by the Ontario Brain Injury Association for his work advocating for those living with brain injuries.

During his career, he has successfully conducted jury and non-jury trials and has been recognized for his advocacy skills. After successfully obtaining the jury verdict in the case of Ishoy v. Abreau, which involved a five-time Olympian who was seriously injured, the trial judge stated “counsel presented their case in a focused, well-organized fashion. Their trial preparation resulted in well prepared and focused witnesses. The charts, aerial photographs, medical illustrations, and demonstrative evidence both assisted the jury in understanding the medical and liability issues…Mr. Brown was lead counsel …his closing address to the jury was dramatic, focused, and effective.” After obtaining a multi-million- dollar award in Roberts v. Morana, a case involving road disrepair, Justice O’Brien noted “I have not seen a case which has been better prepared or presented than this one.” His advocacy skills have assisted Patrick in ensuring his clients are awarded fair and reasonable awards.

He initiated the most comprehensive Coroner’s Review of Pedestrian and Cycling deaths in Ontario and was awarded the Active Transportation Champion of the Year by Toronto Centre for Active Transportation. More recently he was awarded the “Safety Award of Excellence” by the Ontario Safety League (est. 1911) as presented by the Minister of Transportation.

Patrick lectures widely to other lawyers, is the author of law books, and is the Civil Subject Matter Expert for the Ryerson Law Practice Program. Patrick proudly sits on the Steering Committee of Friends and Families for Safe Streets and is the lead organizer of the Vulnerable Road User Coalition of Ontario.

He has been a guest speaker across Canada and has appeared on television and talk radio including Canada AM, CBC News, CP24, CTV News, Global Morning Show, CityTV News, CFTO, Le Drew Live, Goldhawk Fights Back, John Moore Show 1010, Dave Agar Show 1010, Live Drive John Tory, Moose FM, 680 and other talk radio shows in the province. He also started the annual Toronto Helmet on Kids program where he and McLeish Orlando have donated over a thousand helmets to children across Toronto to reduce head injuries. He was Co-Chair with Dr. Charles Tator for Concussion Ontario on their Recognition and Awareness Committee which seeks to prevent the impact of concussions within team sports. He is a former director and founding member of Cycle Toronto, a proud member of Bike Law, and the past Chair of the Ontario Safety League and the Ontario Bar Association’s Insurance Law Section.

Reviews & Testimonials

Patrick was a pleasure to work with over the course of my engagement with him and his firm. 

In 2011 I was in a devastating car accident – a fully loaded transport truck struck me at full speed on the highway.  I was diagnosed with a catastrophic brain injury that left me severely impaired physically and mentally.

Things started getting better once Patrick began to represent me.  He was professional, diligent and always listened to me and my family’s needs.

Navigating the complicated post-serious injury process would have been impossible without his help.

I am very happy with the outcome of my recovery and the insurance cushion that will continue to help me recover moving forward. My family and I are forever grateful for Patrick and his team

McLeish Orlando is the best in the business!

Trevor Koverko, CEO, Polymath

My experience with McLeish Orlando involved their work with the Bike Law network, and their assistance was *extremely* valuable to me both practically, and for peace of mind. Its good to know someone has your back as a cyclist, and both Melissa and Patrick were extremely generous, communicative, and helpful. That goes to everyone I interacted with on the firm- thanks a lot!!

Curtis McCord

After a near-death accident in which a truck ran me over from behind, McLeish Orlando took charge of my case in a way that made a dramatic impact both immediately and in the long term.  Patrick Brown and his team assembled high-quality health professionals who helped with everything from new living arrangements to cope with life in a wheelchair, to rehabilitation and paper work. 

Patrick and his colleagues are meticulous, professional and humane.

They assured that no detail was overlooked, either in terms of my personal convalescence, or in building the case against a determined and deep-pocketed insurance company.  The stakes became desperately clear when I  realised that even as the victim, riding my bike legally with the right of way, and run over from behind, I could still lose everything if so much as one aspect of the case was overlooked or mishandled.  

Having endured long periods of penury, facing accusations by the driver’s lawyers that I was to blame for my multiple injuries because I wasn’t wearing a helmet, wondering whether I would ever see the case resolved, I began to have doubts.  But I was relieved to see that everyone at McLeish Orlando pressed on, and saw my case through to a very satisfactory conclusion.

And I can walk again, too.

Kyle Brown

In 2010 I met with a car accident. I hired a law firm. After few weeks it came to my attention their incompetence, callousness and mismanagement.  I called McLeish Orlando and met with Patrick Brown. I explained him my situation. He and his team were competent, compassionate and extremely well managed. They provided me excellent service. Thanks pat once again.

If you are looking for a personal injury lawyer who is honest, genuine and really truly cares, the only one to turn to is Patrick Brown.

Sanjiv Dhawan

I am forever grateful to Patrick Brown and the wonderful team at McLeish Orlando for their incredible work. 

In 2009 I was in a car accident that left me with multiple injuries.  After 6.5 years, I have finally been able to move forward from it, with the support and help from Patrick Brown and the team at McLeish Orlando. 

I had originally started with another personal injury lawyer, who definitely wasn’t able for the case.  If it hadn’t been for Patrick Brown’s expertise and stamina, as well as the help of his team, I know I wouldn’t have gotten very far!   

If you are looking for a personal injury lawyer who is honest, genuine and really truly cares, the only one to turn to is at McLeish Orlando!

Thank you very much, Pat and team, I so genuinely appreciate your help!

Deanna Copley

Katherine, Executive Director of Charlie's FreeWheels

In 2011 I was involved in a major accident that left me with catastrophic and permanent injuries.  While in search of a law firm Patrick Brown from McLeish Orlando visited me at the rehabilitation hospital and after speaking with him his firm was our choice.  From the first meeting the experience was positive.  Unlike other firms that we met with, Patrick was honest, knowledgeable and clear on what i should expect.  Throughout the entire time that Pat was my lawyer, him and his team ensured that i was well taken care of.  They provided me with everything that i needed to know and represented me not only against the person who was at fault for my accident, but he also ensured that my insurance company was providing me with the coverage that was required on an ongoing basis. 

I would recommend Patrick Brown and the entire McLeish Orlando team as an exceptional Law firm that will always work for your best interests

Sean Wellsbury

We had a great experience working with Patrick Brown and the team at McLeish Orlando!  Our case was handled in a professional manner and brought to a very successful conclusion.  In addition to their high level of legal skill, we found the people at McLeish Orlando to be friendly and always helpful.  We highly recommend working with them.

Karina Bukhanov and Peter Hodgson

Pat Brown of McLeish Orlando represented our family in a case against Leisureworld pertaining to negligence in the care of our mother which resulted in her death. Pat showed personal interest and consideration when dealing with our family and particularly our elderly father. Pat and his team are excellent at what they do and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a personal injury lawyer

Kim Bernst

McLeish Orlando helped my family through a very difficult situation involving an injury resulting in the death of my mother.  The team was caring, professional and we were pleased with the settlement.  Pat Brown, our personal lawyer, was competent and knowedgeable in the area of personal injury.

Laurinda Dovey

McLeish Orlando is a Toronto based law firm that handles personal injury cases. In my opinion, they are the best firm in the city. They have a great amount of experience and are well known as one the leading personal injury law firms in Toronto.

I was hit by an SUV and seriously injured. Patrick Brown, the lawyer with Macleish Orlando who took me on as a client, was a warm and wonderful lawyer who consistently demonstrated a professional and caring attitude towards both me and my case. After you have been seriously injured in an accident, dealing with the demands of the legal system can be an exhausting and horrendous experience. Patrick, and I’m sure it is true of the other lawyers at the firm, worked endlessly to ensure that I was kept informed every step of the way and also made sure that I was as comfortable as possible with he process. The staff at Macleish Orlando – the law clerks, the receptionists, and the other lawyers – were all always consistently professional, helpful, and welcoming. 

If you are ever unfortunate enough to get injured in an accident I would recommend McLeish Orlando’s law firm without reservation. They are exceptional.

Charlie Groh

While searching for legal representation  I found words you don’t often see on a law firm’s website, “Caring and Family” which I read and experienced often while working with Pat Brown and his team.  

I have recommended McLeish Orlando to people I know as well as my healthcare team – because if you ever want someone on your side and are in need of advice, Patrick Brown will look after your best interests.

As a pedestrian who survived a catastrophic and nearly fatal car accident, (almost a decade ago) I live with some physical and neurological limitations.  During the past few years, although still in need of physiotherapy, I’ve really moved forward toward independence,  while realizing my new redefined lifestyle.  Pat Brown’s assistants and associates kept me informed, while explaining what was required of me through litigation – which allowed me to focus on my rehabilitation. They were professional, patient, along with giving me kudos on my rehab progress.

After searching for a litigation lawyer to take over my MVA case, I am so pleased I chose Mr.Patrick Brown of McLeish Orlando. Patrick Brown and his team treated me with dignity and kindness. As well, they came through for me in with substantial results.
