Who handles what

The neighbourhood

The office sits on Wilson Avenue in Toronto's north end, close to Wilson subway station, which opened in 1978 in the median of Allen Road at Wilson Avenue. The station has grown into a hub for buses serving the area, and Highway 401 and Yorkdale Shopping Centre are nearby just across the expressway. For a family law practice that draws clients from both Toronto and Etobicoke, that combination of subway, bus, and highway access makes appointments easy to reach from across the west end of the GTA without needing a downtown office.
