OUR AREAS OF PRACTICE

Small Claims

Ontario’s Small Claims Court handles civil disputes up to $35,000 for money or property. It offers a less formal process than Superior Court, often without lawyers. Common claims involve unpaid debts, property damage, and breach of contract.

Landlord/Tenant

Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act governs landlord-tenant relationships, outlining rights and responsibilities. Key aspects include standard lease agreements, regulated rent increases (2.5% for 2025 guideline), and specific rules for eviction handled by the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB).

Provincial Offences

The Provincial Offences Act in Ontario governs non-criminal charges like traffic violations, municipal by-law infractions, and offences under provincial statutes (e.g., Liquor Licence Act). These matters are typically heard in Provincial Offences Courts, with various options for resolution including paying fines, meeting with prosecutors, or requesting a trial.

Ontario Tribunals

Ontario has numerous tribunals that resolve specific disputes outside traditional courts. These specialized bodies, like the Human Rights Tribunal or the Ontario Land Tribunal, handle issues from discrimination claims to land use planning, offering expertise and often more accessible processes.

Non-Legal Assistance

There many ways in which we interact with the bureaucracy of government, from applying for a marriage license to changing your name.

Contract Review

Contract reviews involve carefully examining a legal agreement before signing. This process identifies potential risks, clarifies obligations, and ensures the terms align with your interests. Legal counsel can help interpret complex clauses and negotiate favorable conditions, protecting you from future disputes.

Our focus is on the small details, allowing you to relax.
