Clients rate this firm highly on Google.
Azimi Law is a litigation firm for injured Ontarians and for immigrants, and it goes up against insurance companies, tribunals and the Federal Court on their behalf. Personal injury and immigration litigation are the two pillars of the practice, built side by side. Based in North York, the firm takes on clients from across the Greater Toronto Area and the rest of Ontario.
Bahman (Ben) Azimi founded the firm in 2016, aiming to give injured people and immigrants the kind of legal representation that used to be within reach only of the wealthy. Azimi earned a J.D. at the University of Windsor Law School after an honours B.A. at York University, and had hands-on exposure to every part of injury litigation before opening the firm. Today Azimi brings more than ten years of personal injury and litigation experience to each file and works with clients in English and Farsi.
Across the whole team, clients can be served in English, Farsi (Persian), Spanish and Arabic.
Consultations on personal injury matters are free, and Ben Azimi will come to an injured client's home, hospital room or rehabilitation facility, or arrange transportation to the office at 685 Sheppard Avenue East, Suite 508. Injury clients pay nothing upfront: legal fees, disbursements and expert costs come out of the settlement or judgment.
Practice areas
Accident and injury claims
In rideshare collisions, Azimi Law uses trip logs and app data, along with the driver's app status, to pin down which insurance policy, or mix of policies, has to pay. On transit injuries it asks for camera footage to be preserved the moment it's retained, since recordings are often overwritten quickly. In wrongful death claims it brings in economists and other experts to measure the family's loss, with particular care that dependent children are provided for.
Accident benefits and disability
Azimi Law takes accident benefits disputes through the Licence Appeal Tribunal, from the dispute resolution stage to arbitration hearings, and seeks judicial review of LAT decisions at the Divisional Court where warranted. On long-term disability, it challenges denied claims, including disputes over the 24-month point where a policy moves from an own-occupation to an any-occupation test.
Immigration litigation
Azimi Law's immigration practice is litigation: Federal Court judicial reviews, RAD and IAD appeals, mandamus applications and detention reviews, among other proceedings. Emergency stay motions to stop an imminent deportation are filed within hours of the firm being retained. On refused family sponsorships, the firm reviews the refusal, assembles evidence that the relationship is genuine and prepares the sponsor and witnesses for the IAD hearing.

Civil litigation for plaintiffs and defendants
Azimi Law runs civil files from the first demand letter through discovery, motions, trial and appeal, in matters such as contract and commercial disputes, landlord and tenant cases and debt recovery. The firm has acted for both plaintiffs and defendants, and it defends people who are sued without insurance or whose insurer has refused to provide a defence.

Defamation and online reputation
Azimi Law takes on defamatory online reviews, social-media posts and anonymous attacks, including steps to identify an anonymous poster where appropriate, while weighing the public-interest and anti-SLAPP issues that online speech can raise.

Contingency
Free consultationHow Azimi Law works
Azimi Law treats a contingency file as a financial commitment of its own. The firm advances legal fees, disbursements and expert costs itself and gets them back only if the case is won. It retains and funds experts, from medical specialists and life care planners to engineers who reconstruct accidents and vocational experts, to build a case that holds up both at the bargaining table and in front of a judge, and it tracks every deadline from the first consultation so documents and evidence are secured before they're gone.
Settlement isn't automatic. The firm won't recommend an offer that falls short; if an insurer's number isn't reasonable it goes to court, if a tribunal gets it wrong it appeals, and if IRCC leaves an application sitting for years it takes the matter to the Federal Court. Its commitment to clients is to explain each development clearly and stay reachable long after the first meeting, and Ben Azimi personally reviews every inquiry that comes in.
