About Cote Law Firm

Cote Law Firm is a litigation firm based in Etobicoke, in Toronto's west end, where Patrice A.J. Cote practices as a senior lawyer. The firm says it was built on two principles, justice and compensation, and describes its approach as smaller, personalized service rather than a large firm model. It handles personal injury and professional negligence claims, family law matters including divorce, custody, support and property, wills and estate planning, and business law work such as contracts, commercial leasing, franchise agreements, employment issues and debt collection.

Cote was born and raised in Montreal before studying communications at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. Cote then earned a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School and a master's degree in environmental studies from York University in Toronto, and was called to the Bar of Ontario in 1999. The firm practices in both English and French, offers a free initial consultation, and says it will take some personal injury and negligence matters on a contingency basis or with a reduced or waived fee depending on the case.

The neighbourhood

Cote Law Firm's office is at 10 Four Seasons Place in Etobicoke, in Toronto's west end. The firm consistently markets its family, business and negligence work to clients in Etobicoke and the wider Greater Toronto Area rather than describing itself as a downtown Toronto practice, and it pairs that local focus with a bilingual practice, meeting English and French speaking clients from the same office.

Frequently asked questions

Does Cote Law Firm take personal injury cases on contingency?
In some cases, yes.

Can Cote Law Firm help with a divorce or a custody dispute?
Yes. The firm handles divorce, custody, support and property matters. It says it encourages clients to try to resolve family disputes amicably first, through a separation agreement, negotiation or mediation, and will go to arbitration or court when that isn't possible.

Yes. Senior lawyer Patrice Cote is bilingual and practices in both English and French, so French speaking clients can be served directly in French.
