About Friedman Estate Litigation

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Friedman Estate Litigation Professional Corporation is a Barrie firm that limits its practice to three areas: estate litigation, real estate litigation, and municipal law. Jonathan M. Friedman, the firm's Managing Partner, works alongside three other partners and a team of litigation associates, and the firm's lawyers regularly appear before the Superior Court of Justice, the Ontario Court of Appeal, and the Ontario Land Tribunal, which replaced the former Ontario Municipal Board and Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. The firm describes its approach as small firm service with large firm results, and it says clients work directly with the lawyer handling their file rather than being passed along a chain of staff.

The firm opened a second office on Leslie Street in Newmarket, off Highway 404, to serve York Region, extending a practice built out of Barrie into Vaughan, Richmond Hill, and Aurora while still serving Simcoe County towns such as Orillia, Innisfil, and Wasaga Beach from Barrie. Its estate litigation work covers will challenges, capacity and guardianship disputes, and passing of accounts, and Jonathan M. Friedman has been appointed by the court as Estate Trustee During Litigation in a number of contested estates. Several of the firm's lawyers also write on its site about recent Ontario case law, including a 2026 Superior Court decision on the limits of section 3 counsel under the Substitute Decisions Act.
