About Anthony Martin Law

Anthony V.R. Martin, Barrister and Solicitor, runs a solo family law practice from an office on Gladstone Avenue in Toronto. The firm's own site says Martin has practiced exclusively in family law for over 15 years, working on parenting arrangements, child and spousal support, and the equalization of family property for clients across the Greater Toronto Area. Martin holds an LL.B. from Dalhousie University (2007), a Master of Arts in History from the University of Western Ontario (2002), and a B.A. (Honours) in History from King's College at Western (2001), and was called to the Ontario bar in 2008.

The practice is built around a hands-on model: Martin personally handles every file rather than passing work to junior associates or legal assistants, and a client calling the office reaches Martin directly rather than a receptionist or answering service. Work covers court litigation before both the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice, as well as mediation and arbitration, domestic contracts like separation agreements, and flat fee options for services such as an uncontested divorce application. New clients can start with a free, no obligation 20 minute telephone consultation.

Who handles what

The neighbourhood

The office sits on Gladstone Avenue, within Toronto's M6H postal area, known as Dufferin/Dovercourt Village on the city's west side. It's a residential stretch rather than a downtown legal or courthouse district, which fits a solo practice built around telephone consultations and scheduled in-person meetings instead of walk-in traffic.

Frequently asked questions

Does Anthony Martin only handle family law, or other areas too?
The practice is exclusively family law: parenting arrangements, child and spousal support, equalization of family property, domestic contracts like separation and cohabitation agreements, and both court litigation and alternative dispute resolution. It doesn't take on other areas of law.
Will I actually deal with Anthony Martin directly, or will a junior lawyer or assistant handle my file?
According to the firm, Martin personally handles every aspect of each file rather than delegating to junior associates or legal assistants, and clients who call reach Martin directly instead of a receptionist or answering service.
How much does an uncontested divorce cost?
The firm charges a flat fee of $2,100.00 plus HST for an uncontested divorce application, covering the application filing and affidavit steps, with no court attendance required.
Can I get help with just one part of my case instead of a full retainer?
Yes. The firm offers unbundled legal services with an initial retainer of $2,000.00, billed at the hourly rate, so a client can pay for a specific task, like reviewing a document or handling one negotiation, rather than a full file.
Does the firm do mediation, or is court the only option?
Alongside court litigation, the firm offers mediation and arbitration as alternative dispute resolution options for family law matters.
Is there a free consultation before I have to pay anything?
Yes. The firm offers a free, no obligation 20 minute telephone consultation to discuss a family law matter before a client decides whether to retain the firm.
