About Polaris Lawyers
Polaris is the name of the North Star: the first and brightest star in the night sky. Because it is stable, it has been used for centuries by explorers in navigation, and for European explorers Polaris showed the way home. We believe that at their best, lawyers serve as navigators: guiding our clients through a complex legal system.
Why Polaris?
If you’ve been injured or have a disability, you deserve the best legal representation from your personal injury law firm; whether it be in a motor vehicle accident, a workplace accident, as a result of medical negligence or as result of someone else’s negligence.
At Polaris Lawyers, we are expert lawyers who provide clear advice in plain English, when and where you need it, and with no hidden costs.
We are an innovative boutique personal injury law firm combining decades of big firm expertise, with the personal service and empathy you only get with a team dedicated to you and your case. We provide our advice in plain English and with no hidden costs.
