About Belmont Lawyers

Belmont Lawyers is a Toronto firm that takes pride in giving clients quality personal service at reasonable rates. Its work covers corporate, commercial and civil litigation, estates and incompetency litigation, business law, wills, estates and trusts, and wrongful dismissal. One less common line: the firm collects debts that local businesses owe to creditors outside the country.

Brian D. Belmont graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1989 and was called to the Bar two years later. After practising with a Toronto litigation firm, Brian opened an independent practice in 1993. Brian's own files are mostly business law plus litigation over companies, commercial deals and estates, and entrepreneurs make up the majority of those clients.

The firm commits to being up front and clear about its fees, to giving each client a clear game plan, and to making sure clients understand all of their rights and options.

The office is Suite 601 at 1120 Finch Avenue West in North York, close to the corner of Dufferin and Finch. The first consultation is free, and you can ask for one by email.
