I was constructively dismissed from my employer of 9 years. I spoke with David Vaughan who connected with me on a human level. The result ended with a better than expected settlement. If it wasn't for Dave, I would have continued to believe that the employer is always right!

I was assisted by Chantel Goldsmith in getting a fair settlement from my former employer after being terminated without cause after 11 years of employment in North York. She and her assistant Cassandra were very helpful and I highly recommend Chantel to anyone seeking legal assistance!a

I was wrongfully terminated after 4 years on the job. After trying their Severance Pay Calculator and watching a few episodes of the Employment Law Show, I reached out to Samfiru Tumarkin LLP and I'm glad I did. They settled my case out of court and got me a very fair settlement in what I consider to be a very short amount of time.

I contacted Sivan Tumarkin because my insurance company denied benefits to my paraplegic son. Prior to contacting Sivan, I had reached out to several other law firms. I was thrilled when he took on our case. The entire team went above and beyond to fight the insurance company.

FAQs About Toronto Employment Lawyers

✅ What Does “No Fee Unless We Win” Mean?

For many severance and termination cases, we don’t charge upfront. You only pay if we recover money for you. Not all matters qualify — it depends on your case.

✅ Do You Always Offer Free Consultations?

We offer free consultations for many employment law matters, especially involving wrongful dismissal, termination without cause, and severance package reviews.

However, some legal issues may require a fee for a detailed assessment. The cost varies depending on the matter and legal representative.
