Free consultationAbout Anthony Martin Law
Anthony Martin Law is a Toronto practice devoted entirely to family law, and it's worked in no other field for more than 15 years. People come to it after a separation for help with parenting arrangements, child and spousal support, and dividing family property, whether the matter settles through negotiation or has to be argued in court.
The lawyer behind the firm is Anthony V.R. Martin, a Barrister and Solicitor and the firm's Senior Family Lawyer, called to the Ontario Bar in 2008. Martin earned an LL.B. at Dalhousie University in 2007, after a B.A. (Hons.) in history through King's College and an M.A. in history, both at the University of Western Ontario. Martin's courtroom work takes in both the Ontario Court of Justice and the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
Every file stays with Martin from start to finish. No junior associate or legal assistant takes over the work, and a call to the office goes straight to Martin instead of to a receptionist or an answering service. Certain services are priced at one flat fee, and the rest are charged hourly at $425. (Fees as of October 2026.)
The office is at 516 Gladstone Avenue in Toronto. New clients can start with a free telephone or Zoom consultation of about 20 minutes to talk through a family law problem, with no cost and no obligation to retain the firm afterwards.
Practice areas

Property files include equalization of net family property, the date of marriage deduction, excluded assets, and trust claims (both constructive and resulting).

Free consultationHow Anthony Martin Law works
Anthony Martin Law commits to transparent billing. Clients are billed in small amounts, each bill describes the work in detail, and the cost of particular steps is talked through openly as the case goes on. On contested court files, where the retainer sits in a trust account, smaller bills let clients see what's been spent and what's left, and Martin commits to telling them before those trust funds run out.
The firm's practice favours settling without starting a court case. Mediation or a negotiated separation agreement is often far less expensive than litigation and leaves the parties more control over how they reach a deal, though some situations leave no choice but to file a court application.

Frequently asked questions
- What does Anthony Martin Law charge for an uncontested divorce application?
- Anthony Martin Law charges a flat fee of $2,100.00 plus HST. It's a two-step process: the divorce application is prepared, filed and served on the other spouse, who has 30 days to respond (60 if outside North America), and then a divorce affidavit goes to the court with the draft order. No court attendance is needed. Any open questions about children, support or property should be settled first, by a separation agreement or a court application. (Fees as of October 2026.)
- Can I hire Anthony Martin to draft my court documents while I represent myself?
- Anthony Martin Law offers unbundled legal services for exactly that kind of arrangement, such as preparing pleadings for a client who appears in court alone, or negotiating with the other lawyer on a matter that isn't before the courts. It starts with an initial retainer of $2,000.00, and the work is billed at $425 an hour plus HST. (Fees as of October 2026.)
- How does Anthony Martin Law put together an uncontested separation agreement?
- Anthony Martin Law asks for an initial retainer of $3,000.00, with the work billed at $425.00 an hour plus HST. Martin first meets the client to take instructions and sketch an outline of the final agreement, then lets the other party know the firm has been retained. Once both sides' financial disclosure is in, a draft goes to the client for approval and then to the other party, and any changes are negotiated between counsel until both spouses can sign. (Fees as of October 2026.)
- Is independent legal advice on a family law document a flat fee at Anthony Martin Law?
- Anthony Martin Law charges a flat $425.00 plus HST for independent legal advice. It's a meeting of roughly 1 to 1.5 hours about a particular document or any family law question the client wants to raise. (Fees as of October 2026.)
- What retainer does Anthony Martin Law need for a contested family court case?
- Anthony Martin Law asks for an upfront retainer of $4,500.00, held in a trust account, with all work billed at $425.00 an hour plus HST. The final cost of litigation can't be predicted with accuracy, since it depends on how complex the matter is, how many issues remain unresolved and how the parties conduct themselves. (Fees as of October 2026.)

- Anthony Martin Law's office is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and closed on weekends, but after-hours and weekend appointments can be arranged on request.
