Justin Robichaud, KC
Justin Robichaud, KC, is a founding partner of Fidelis Law. He was appointed King’s Counsel in 2021.
His legal practice is focused mainly on personal injury and insurance law litigation. He has seen first-hand the disastrous effects an accident can have on the life of a person, and as a result of these experiences, he decided to dedicate his work to personal injury claims. Justin is sensitive to the specific needs of his clients and is committed to helping them navigate the road to recovery.
Justin advocates for services that are tailored to his client’s individual needs, while supporting them through their rehabilitation and ensuring the best possible results.
“One of my greatest motivations is without a doubt to help further the rights to benefits and compensation for car accident victims and victims of other forms of negligence. Through my work and my involvement, I wish to improve the life of current and future claimants.”
Justin is known for his civic engagement, both within the legal sphere, and in the community at large. He was elected President of the Law Society of New Brunswick for the 2022-2023 term, becoming the youngest member to hold this position in the history of the law society.
