Civil litigation, family law (including Mehrieh / dowry), employment law, personal injury, insurance and disability disputes, and mediation. We act for both individuals and corporations.
Yes. Civil litigation is a core focus — including contract and commercial disputes, real estate litigation, construction matters, employment litigation, debt recovery, estate disputes, and court applications. See Team Civil Litigation.
Yes. Divorce, parenting, support, property division, separation agreements, marriage and cohabitation contracts, court-order enforcement, and Mehrieh / dowry disputes. See Family Law.
Yes — at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the Divisional Court, the Court of Appeal for Ontario, and before tribunals and regulatory bodies.
Mehrieh is a contractual obligation typically created in an Iranian / Islamic marriage contract. In Ontario, Mehrieh claims are usually brought as contract claims (often as part of a broader family law file), and they are increasingly recognized and enforced by Ontario courts where properly proved.
We act both for spouses seeking enforcement and for spouses defending — and we have the cultural and bilingual fluency these files require. See Mehrieh / Dowry.
Yes — for civil, family, employment, and Mehrieh-related disputes. We also attend mediation as counsel for clients with active litigation. See Mediation.
Once a retainer is in place and conflicts are cleared, work usually starts the same week. Time-sensitive matters — terminations, urgent injunctions, motions — receive expedited attention.
Most files are billed hourly against a retainer. For some matters, fixed fees, blended rates, or contingency arrangements may be available. Fee structure is confirmed in writing before work begins.
