Leone Murray LLP is pleased to announce that Partner Aaron Murray and Associate Michael Unea have been included on the list of The Best Lawyers in Canada for 2027, both in the Personal Injury Litigation category.

For Murray, the recognition marks his seventh consecutive year on the Best Lawyers list. For Unea, it represents an important professional milestone as this is his first year recognized individually on the prestigious ranking. The honour reflects the experience, advocacy and commitment to client service that both lawyers bring to their personal injury practices.

The Best Lawyers in Canada is one of Canada’s longstanding legal peer-review programs. Recognition is based on confidential evaluations by other lawyers practicing in the same geographic region and area of specialization. Lawyers are assessed on their professional abilities and the quality of their work, with those receiving the highest levels of peer recognition included in the annual publication.

For Leone Murray LLP, the accolade is particularly meaningful because it comes from members of the legal profession who understand the demands of complex personal injury litigation.

“I’m honoured to be recognized by Best Lawyers for another year,” says Murray. “Having Michael acknowledged alongside me makes this year’s announcement particularly meaningful. Our work is ultimately about helping people and families navigate incredibly difficult circumstances, and that requires a team that’s committed to excellence at every stage as we help clients return to life on their terms.”

Unea joined Leone Murray LLP after practicing insurance defence litigation for a major Toronto law firm. His practice is centred on plaintiff personal injury litigation, where he represents individuals and families dealing with the consequences of serious injuries. He regularly pursues claims arising from slip and fall incidents, motor vehicle accidents and disability benefit claims including long term disability and life insurance. He has represented clients at trials and tribunal hearings at all levels of the Ontario court system.

“I’m very grateful to be recognized by Best Lawyers, particularly because this recognition comes from fellow members of the legal profession,” says Unea. “Every case presents its own challenges, and I’m proud to be part of a team that approaches each one with compassion, preparation and determination.”

Experience that extends to the courtroom

Murray brings extensive litigation experience to his practice and has argued a number of reported decisions before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. His reported cases include including: Farrugia v Ahmadi decision (ONSC 4261), Seetaram v Allstate (ONSC 683), David v Tangri (ONSC 5361), Resch v Canadian Tire and  Wakelin v gourley (canlii 23123).

These cases reflect Murray’s willingness to take on complex legal issues and advocate for his clients through litigation when necessary. His broader professional recognition has also included placement in the Lexpert ranking.

“Strong advocacy means being prepared to do what it takes to help our clients obtain the compensation they deserve after experiencing a catastrophic personal injury,” says Murray. “Our goal is always to achieve the best possible result for our clients, so we believe in preparing every file thoroughly and being ready to litigate when necessary.”

At Leone Murray LLP, that commitment to preparation is matched by an emphasis on understanding the person behind the injury. Serious personal injuries can affect every aspect of a client’s well-being, from their health and ability to work to their relationships, independence and future ambitions.

“We represent people whose lives have often changed dramatically,” says Unea. “Our responsibility is to understand those changes and build a case that reflects the full impact of the injury. It’s a privilege to advocate for our clients and to help them and their families move forward.”

For Leone Murray LLP, the recognition of both Murray and Unea reinforces our firm’s commitment to combining legal experience, strong advocacy and compassionate client service in the pursuit of the best possible outcomes for injured individuals and their families. We’d like to thank the team at Best Lawyers for once again considering our lawyers our inclusion on this important ranking.
