About Art of Law

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Art of Law is a Toronto firm whose work centres on family law, civil litigation, and wills and estates, with real estate files and a notary service alongside. Founder Ardeshir Tahbaz brings experience gained at other Greater Toronto Area law firms, and the firm takes on clients from anywhere in Ontario.

Tahbaz is fluent in English and Farsi and commits to working around clients' busy schedules. The goal on each matter is to move a client toward a favourable outcome while steering clear of legal fees and disputes that don't need to happen.

The notary side handles notarization and commissioning in person or online, and notary public and commissioner for oaths services are offered in Farsi at the North York location. When a document has to be used abroad, the firm notarizes it and then looks after the whole apostille process, working through Global Affairs Canada or the Ministry of Public and Business Services' Official Document Services as the document and destination require.

A first notarization costs $37.99, each additional one is $24.99, and the notary's stamp and signature are included.

Art of Law acts on property purchases and sales, and it gives guidance when a real estate matter turns into a dispute or a legal complication.

Notary and document services

The notary desk commissions affidavits, oaths and sworn statements, certifies true copies, and verifies signatures and identities.
