Larson Lawyers Is Dedicated To Thunder Bay. We work hard first to ensure that the people of Thunder Bay understand how the law impacts them. After they understand how the laws work, we offer help dealing with any related problems they may have. Finally we also do pro bono work and community service as may be needed in the City of Thunder Bay. We think it is equally important to focus on offering legal services and providing value for the community.
This blog is also a small part of our commitment to the welfare of our community. From time to time please check back here for updates about the changes to the laws that impact you as a citizen of North Western Ontario.
If you eventually come across a topic that you require the assistance of a lawyer to learn more about, then please contact us using the popup chat icon at the bottom right corner of your screen. After clicking the icon you can text directly with a staff member in Thunder Bay Ontario. During work hours our typical response time is about 5 minutes.
