Biography
“It is a tremendous privilege to guide and support my clients as we navigate, together, through personal tragedies towards making their lives whole again. Although this work is often challenging, it is extremely gratifying – on a daily basis. I am honoured to play a pivotal role in advocating for fair and practical solutions for my clients and their families.”
Steven Arie Glowinsky is the Founder and Principal Lawyer of Glowinsky Law, which he launched in September 2020. Prior to his admission to the Ontario Bar in 2010, Steven graduated from the University of Western Ontario in 2004 and from the University of Calgary’s Faculty of Law in 2009. He is currently a member of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association, for whom he has contributed case summaries and articles of interest to its quarterly The Litigator magazine. Steven has argued cases before the Divisional Court of Ontario, Superior Court of Justice, Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO), Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT), Small Claims Court, Social Security Tribunal of Ontario, and Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority.
When not working tirelessly for his clients or spending time with his wife and four children, Steven enjoys running, cycling, golfing, and playing hockey. He has a keen interest in international politics, has a secret love for sour candy, and is a passionate Blue Jays and Leafs fanatic.
Steven takes tremendous personal gratification in working with a diverse range of personalities, making interpersonal connections, and helping accident victims and their families navigate through a life crisis and litigate insurance claims. His practice is devoted exclusively and entirely to personal injury litigation on behalf of injury victims, including motor vehicle accident claims, accident benefits claims, falls, and other tort claims and disability-related matters. He prides himself on being an incessant student of the law; a technical expert in accident benefits legislation; and a strong, but fair, advocate for his clients. For these reasons, he has a proven track record of attaining favourable results on behalf of his clients.
