About Metelsky Law

Metelsky Law is a law office headquartered in Ajax, Ontario, with additional offices in Bowmanville and Toronto. The firm practices family law, criminal law, wills and estates, and corporate law. Principal lawyer Rhonda A. Metelsky was called to the Ontario Bar in February 2001, after earning an Honours Bachelor of Arts in political science from York University and a law degree from the University of Ottawa. Metelsky is a member of the Law Society of Ontario, the Criminal Lawyers' Association, the Durham Regional Law Association, and the Advocates' Society.

Associate lawyer Linda Wilson joined the firm after being called to the Ontario Bar in June 2008, holding an Honours Bachelor of Arts in music from Brock University and a law degree from Queen's University. Before law school, Wilson worked as a policy analyst in social assistance at Ontario's Ministry of Community and Social Services, and later articled with that ministry's legal services branch. Wilson has practiced family law exclusively since May 2011. The firm doesn't operate from a single office; Ajax is listed as the head office, with Bowmanville and Toronto as additional locations. The support team includes a senior law clerk who has worked in family law and criminal law matters at the firm since 2007, and a law clerk who has worked exclusively in family law, child protection, and adoption matters since 2012.

The neighbourhood

The firm's head office is on Westney Road South in Ajax, a Durham Region municipality, and its second location is in Bowmanville at the Wellington Lofts on Wellington Street, a building offering shared workspaces and private offices that operated as The Park Coworking before taking its current name.

A third office at 45 Sheppard Avenue puts the firm in the Yonge and Sheppard area of North York, at the southern end of what's known as North York City Centre, giving clients in Toronto a location separate from the firm's two Durham Region offices.

Frequently asked questions

Can Metelsky Law help with a divorce or child custody dispute?
Yes. Metelsky Law's family practice covers divorce and separation, parenting plans, child support, spousal support, and dividing property when a marriage or common law relationship ends. It's paired with paternity and parentage, adoption, child protection, relocation, and domestic contract work such as cohabitation agreements.
I've been charged with a criminal offence. Does Metelsky Law handle criminal defence?
Yes. The firm represents clients on violent offences, drug offences, property offences, weapons offences, domestic assault, and young offender matters, and helps prepare for bail hearings and pursue disclosure from the Crown.
Can Metelsky Law prepare a will and powers of attorney?
Yes. The wills and estates practice includes wills, powers of attorney for personal care and for property, estate planning, estate administration, codicils, and applications for probate and administration.
I'm starting a business. Can Metelsky Law help incorporate it?
Yes. The firm's corporate practice covers incorporations, start-ups and business planning, professional corporations, corporate records and compliance, board advisory and governance, and advice for not-for-profits and charities.
Does Metelsky Law accept Legal Aid certificates?
For eligible family law matters, potentially. Legal Aid Ontario lists Rhonda A. Metelsky as a lawyer providing advice on family law and domestic violence matters, so contacting the office directly is the way to confirm whether a certificate applies to a specific case.
Where is Metelsky Law located?
The head office is in Ajax at 230 Westney Road South, and it's not the only location: the firm also has offices in Bowmanville at the Wellington Lofts on Wellington Street and in Toronto at 45 Sheppard Avenue.
