Clients rate this firm highly on Google.
Alam Law Firm is a personal injury practice for people hurt in Ontario, and its legal practice is limited to injury, disability and denied-insurance claims. The Mississauga team takes on the legal, insurance and medical side of a claim so injured clients can put their energy into recovery. Since 2009 the firm has handled thousands of cases across the province.
Muhammad M. Alam founded the firm in 2009 and leads it as Founder and Managing Barrister. Before licensing in Ontario, Alam practised civil litigation, insurance litigation and human rights law internationally, then earned an LLB at the University of Windsor Faculty of Law, articled at Diamond & Diamond and Bergmanis Preyra LLP, and went on to practise at Misir & Company.
The lawyers bring varied backgrounds. Managing Barrister M. Aftab Alam holds degrees in engineering and in law. They include a master's in mechanical engineering from Ryerson University and an LL.M from Osgoode Hall Law School. Naina Tandon was called to the bar in India in 1988 and spent several years practising in New Delhi before moving to Canada; that work included acting for a U.S. engine maker at a Court of Inquiry into an Airbus A-320 crash in Bangalore. Laurencia Fasoyiro has more than 15 years of combined practice in Texas and Ontario, Nkiru Nwabudike spent over five years litigating in Nigeria, and Jaswant Malhi trained as a student-at-law with Jane Finch Community Legal Services.
The head office is on Dixie Road in Mississauga, with consultation offices on Milner Avenue in Scarborough, Main Street East in Hamilton, Danforth Avenue in Toronto and Bayly Street West in Ajax. The first consultation is free, with no obligation, and always with a qualified member of the legal team, and injury clients pay the firm only if their case is won.
Practice areas
Car, truck and road collisions
Crash claims for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists, along with truck, e-bike and rideshare collisions. M. Aftab Alam handles accident benefits and tort matters arising from motor vehicle accidents, and also takes on product liability, professional negligence and occupier's liability matters.
Catastrophic and brain injuries
Serious injury claims cover brain, spinal cord and orthopedic injuries, and the firm also takes on pediatric injury cases.
Accident benefits and the Licence Appeal Tribunal
Statutory accident benefits claims under Ontario law are a core part of the work. M. Aftab Alam leads both the accident benefits and tort departments, and Naina Tandon's practice covers accident benefits and tort claims from motor vehicle accidents, occupier's liability and insurance litigation.
Disability and insurance denials
The firm acts on insurance claims and denials, including critical illness coverage, and where it fits a case it can help clients negotiate compensation with their insurer or CPP.
Medical malpractice
Claims arising from medical errors, including birth injuries like infant brain damage, brachial plexus injury or cerebral palsy. These cases are hard to prove in Ontario, and doctors and nurses usually defend them hard.
Workplace injuries
For people hurt on the job, a lawyer at the firm can talk through the risks and advantages of the different legal routes, and for some workers a lawsuit against a negligent party is the sounder choice.
Boating, snowmobile and ATV accidents
Recreational accident claims include boating, snowmobile and ATV incidents. On a boating file, the firm writes to every possible defendant and to nonparties early on so evidence is preserved.
Mediation
Alam Law Firm offers mediation shaped around each dispute. Muhammad M. Alam regularly mediates, and the matters handled include construction and renovation disputes and business and partnership conflicts. M. Aftab Alam is accredited by the ADR Institute of Canada and the ADR Institute of Ontario as a Qualified Arbitrator and Qualified Mediator.

Alam Law commits to keeping clients up to date for the life of a claim: where the file stands, how to get ready for the next stage, and what comes after that with an expected timeline. When litigation is held up, the firm's practice is to make sure the client knows the reason. Explanations come in plain language, so clients aren't left decoding legal terms, and from the start the firm walks new clients through its contingency fee, the percentage it takes and the costs they may face.
Online enquiries get a reply within one business day, a commitment that sits alongside an emergency line for injury victims that's answered 24/7.
