Lost your job, separating, or hurt? Talk to a lawyer today.
We represent people across Toronto and Ontario, never employers or insurers. Your first consultation is free, and we reply to every enquiry within one business hour.
- Free first consultation30 minutes with a lawyer, by phone or video.
- A reply within one business hourEnquiries are answered around the clock.
- No fee unless we winOn injury claims and most dismissal claims.
We only act for people. Never for employers, never for insurance companies. So there are no conflicts, and everything we know about how the other side works is used for you.
Three areas, done properly
We keep our practice narrow on purpose. Each team handles one kind of problem every day, so they know the deadlines, the judges and the insurers by name.
-
Employment law
Fired, pushed out or offered a severance package you’re not sure about. Most people are entitled to far more than the legal minimum.
-
Family law
Separation, parenting time and support, handled steadily. We settle when we can and go to court when we have to.
-
Personal injury
Hurt in a crash, a fall, or denied disability benefits. We deal with the insurer so you can focus on getting better.
What happens after you reach out
No forms to print and no waiting a week for a callback. Here is the whole process before you commit to anything.

Questions people ask on the first call
Still unsure? Call and ask. There’s no charge for the conversation.
What does the first consultation cost?
Nothing. The first 30 minutes with a lawyer is free, by phone or video, and there’s no obligation to hire us afterwards.
How quickly do I need to act?
Sooner than most people think. Many claims in Ontario have a two-year limitation period, some much shorter: injury accident benefits need notice within 7 days, and a fall on city property needs written notice within 60 days. Severance offers often come with a one or two-week deadline. Call before you sign anything.
What if I can’t afford a lawyer?
Injury claims and most dismissal claims are on contingency: we’re paid a percentage of what we recover, agreed in writing, and nothing if we don’t win. For family matters we offer fixed fees for common steps so you know the cost in advance.
Do I have to come to your office?
No. Most clients never need to. We meet by phone or video, sign documents electronically, and come to you if you’re in hospital or can’t travel.
Do you take cases outside Toronto?
Yes. We act for clients across Ontario, from Windsor to Ottawa, and travel for discoveries, mediations and court dates when needed.
