Diamond & Diamond Lawyers LLP is a personal injury firm whose lawyers have served clients in Toronto and across Ontario for 40 years. Personal injury, corporate and class actions are among its main groups. Today it has offices in Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia and Nova Scotia, and its team numbers more than 65 lawyers across Canada.
Sandra Zisckind is a co-founder and the managing partner, and began in insurance defence before moving quickly into personal injury law. Founding partner Jeremy Diamond has led the firm's national expansion across several provinces and has been a member of the Florida bar since 2002. Isaac Zisckind, the third founding partner, holds an honours business degree and a law degree from the University of Windsor.
There are three head offices: Ontario's on the fifth floor of 255 Consumers Road in Toronto, Alberta's on 97 Street NW in Edmonton, and British Columbia's at 1727 West Broadway in Vancouver. In Ontario you'll also find offices in Windsor, London, Kitchener, Ottawa, Sudbury, Timmins and Barrie. Out west there's a Calgary office on Macleod Trail SE, and the Halifax office is on Windmill Road.
The Toronto head office is available 24 hours.
History
Diamond & Diamond took its current form in 2013, when Jeremy Diamond, Jeremy's spouse Sandra Zisckind and Sandra's sibling Isaac Zisckind took over ownership. That year the first location opened in North Toronto, with radio spots on Z103.5 and Newstalk 1010. At the time, advertising personal injury services was still fairly new ground in Canada.
In 2014 the firm's advertising spread to Toronto transit along with more radio and television, and it announced a partnership with the Toronto Raptors. A partnership with the Ottawa Senators followed, and in 2015 a hiring push took the team past 50 as new offices opened around Ontario. Over 2017 and 2018 the firm added wills and estates and real estate work and built a civil litigation division under Darryl Singer, and it also partnered with the BC Lions. In 2021 a new office in Miami marked its expansion into the United States.
Personal injury is the heart of the practice, and the team has experience across the full range of injury claims, supporting clients at every stage of a case. Car crashes are only part of it: the accident work reaches ATV, bicycle, boating and e-scooter collisions, and the claims side includes accident benefits, long-term disability, occupiers' liability and wrongful death.
Medical malpractice
Medical malpractice is a form of personal injury, and the firm has experience helping patients and families whose care didn't meet a reasonable standard. Birth and obstetric injuries are a distinct focus, covering hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, midwife and pediatric malpractice, and wrongful birth. Jeremy Syrtash, who leads this litigation, was named to Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Canada 2026 and wrote on biased expert witnesses for the Winter 2023 issue of The Litigator.
For families settling or disputing an estate, the firm handles both administration and contested matters. On the administration side that means probate and passing of accounts, and on the contentious side estate litigation and guardianship applications.
The corporate team has represented companies and professionals on trademarks and copyrights, on incorporations and shareholder and partnership agreements, and on construction, real estate development and investment, and information technology matters.
Founding partner Isaac Zisckind's practice spans real estate and corporate law along with personal injury, and Isaac has given talks on negotiation, fraud and litigation in real estate to audiences of brokers, mortgage agents and business clients. In Alberta, partner Basil Bansal handles real estate transactions as well as litigation for commercial and individual clients.
Ronald Davis is senior counsel for the class action group, and Sandra Zisckind has led the firm's class work on nursing-home negligence and other multi-plaintiff cases. Its matters include a certified claim for residents of Revera long-term care homes in Manitoba and their families, a mass tort over the COVID-19 outbreak at Roberta Place Long-Term Care Home in Barrie, and a claim by former cadets alleging sexual misconduct in the Canadian Cadet Program.
Accessibility, accountability and empathy are the values Diamond & Diamond holds to, and its aim is to use its legal experience to simplify complex cases so clients can move forward with clarity. It commits to remaining a firm for everyday people, easy to reach and free of elitism. In that spirit, its lawyers give out their personal cell phone numbers.

The neighbourhood
The Ontario head office is on the fifth floor at 255 Consumers Road, M2J 1R4. ConsumersNext is a City of Toronto study looking for ways to enhance the Consumers Road Business Park and the blocks around the Sheppard and Victoria Park intersection. The business park and that intersection give work to more than 18,000 people and form one of Toronto's densest clusters of office jobs, and the study area covers almost 100 hectares across North York and Scarborough.
Frequently asked questions
Does Diamond & Diamond cap its injury contingency fee at 33%?
Diamond & Diamond's fee won't exceed 33% plus HST and disbursements, though if a case goes to trial the firm will also ask for costs awarded as regulated by the law society. If a tort case settles before a claim is issued, the fee is 30% plus HST, inclusive of costs, and in many more serious cases the firm discounts its fee. (Fees as of September 2026.)
Does Diamond & Diamond's free consultation and contingency arrangement cover wrongful dismissal?
At Diamond & Diamond, free consultations and contingency fees apply to all personal injury cases and to select wrongful dismissal cases, but not to other commercial and civil litigation.
If Diamond & Diamond can't take my case, will it pass me to someone else without asking?
Diamond & Diamond refers callers to another lawyer or a paralegal in good standing with the law society only with their verbal consent. A referral fee may or may not be attached in some cases, and it has no effect on the claim.
Who runs Diamond & Diamond's Trial Lawyers' Division?
At Diamond & Diamond, partner Jillian Carrington heads the Trial Lawyers' Division. Called to the Ontario Bar in 2012, Jillian joined the firm in 2017 after building a trial record as a partner at a criminal defence firm in downtown Toronto.
