JACOB SAZIO
With an undergraduate degree in sociology and a passion for people, Jacob never had any doubt that he would be a litigator. “I wasn’t totally sure if I wanted to work in commercial litigation or personal injury. As an articling student in Ottawa, that’s when I first developed a connection with our clients and learned plaintiff work was for me.”
Working primarily in plaintiff personal injury with Jim Scarfone, Jacob combines his love of law and technical legal arguments with his passion for helping people. As Jacob says, “the great thing about the work we do in plaintiff personal injury is we’re actually dealing with real people. The goal is you want to help make things right for this person or this family. If it’s seeking compensation for a loss, whatever that may be, the difference you can make in the life of an individual client… it’s not just some numbers on a balance sheet, it’s someone’s life.”
As part of the personal injury group, Jacob may charge for legal services on a percentage basis, and may enter into a contingency fee retainer agreement with clients. The maximum contingency fee is 30%.
