ABOUT PELZ LAW GROUP

Elena Pelz is the founder of Pelz Law Group, where her practice is devoted exclusively to plaintiff side personal injury litigation. Before opening her own firm, she spent more than fifteen years working as an associate lawyer at a well known personal injury law firm, building the experience, judgment, and litigation skill required to establish her own practice.

Her vision has always been to make the claims process as clear and stress free as possible for injured clients, while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, preparation, and determination. Each client relationship is treated with care and sincerity, with a clear focus on maximizing results rather than processing claims. Every matter is handled with personal attention from start to finish.

The firm represents individuals involved in slip and fall accidents, motor vehicle collisions, motorcycle and snowmobile incidents, long term disability claims, and other serious personal injury matters. Over the course of her career, cases have been argued before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and numerous tribunals, including the Financial Services Commission of Ontario, the CPP Disability Benefits Appeal Tribunal, the Criminal Victims Compensation Board, and the Licensing Appeal Tribunal.

From initial consultation through resolution, clients receive direct guidance on every aspect of their case. The goal is always to secure fair and full compensation for injuries while ensuring clients feel supported and informed throughout the process. Ongoing legal education and awareness of developments in personal injury law allow for smoother claims and stronger outcomes.

Pelz Law Group is supported by a dedicated legal team that has worked together for many years. Their shared commitment, consistency, and attention to detail form the foundation of the firm and the level of service clients can expect.

Our Commitment in Action

Most personal injury law firms split your case into third-party claims and accident benefit claims. Your accident benefit claim is handled by a paralegal, and you don’t get a chance to discuss your case with a lawyer. A year or two later your third-party claim is given to a lawyer who has never met you, never heard your story and never had a chance to hear from you how the accident impacted your life.

Pelz Law Group does not believe in this approach. Elena handles your case from start to finish. She understands the importance of building your third-party legal case properly around the foundation of your accident benefits claim. Elena stays on top of every aspect of your case and builds the correct strategy to fight for your rights from the onset. Whenever you have a question, you deal directly with your lawyer and reliable support team at Pelz Law Group.
