About AP Lawyers

One of the highest-rated law firms in Toronto, going by its Google reviews.

AP Lawyers is a family law firm founded in 2014 by Angela Princewill, a University of Windsor law graduate admitted to the Ontario Bar in 2008. The firm handles divorce and separation, custody and parenting arrangements, child and spousal support, property division, and prenuptial and cohabitation agreements, and it offers mediation, collaborative family law, and litigation depending on what a case calls for. It also drafts wills and powers of attorney. Princewill describes the firm's approach as redefining the practice of law "one day at a time, one client at a time." The firm now works from five Greater Toronto Area addresses: an office suite in Toronto's Financial District plus locations in Pickering, Markham, Scarborough, and Oakville.

AP Lawyers built part of its practice around unbundled, flat fee options rather than only a full retainer. Its website prices individual steps, such as $90 per block for a quick question and $2,300 for drafting only agreement work, alongside full representation for clients who want ongoing counsel. Princewill hosts the AP Legal Zone Podcast, a 34 episode series on family law topics, and the firm's website lists television and print appearances on Canadian outlets including CTV, Global News, and CBC.

The neighbourhood

AP Lawyers' Toronto address, 120 Adelaide Street West, sits inside the Richmond Adelaide Centre, a Financial District office complex whose buildings date back to the 1920s and connect into the underground PATH system. It's an office suite in a multi tenant tower rather than a stand alone building, and it's one of five addresses the firm keeps across the Greater Toronto Area rather than a single downtown headquarters.

The firm's Pickering office, on Pickering Parkway, sits in Durham Region. The About Us page states that AP Lawyers has won the Top Choice Award for Top Family Law Firm in the Durham Region for six consecutive years, and the Pickering office page separately displays a Top Choice Awards badge for 2026.
