Virtual appointmentsAbout DomusLegal
DomusLegal is a small real estate law firm based in Toronto, working out of an office at The Galleries on Morrow Avenue in the city's Roncesvalles neighbourhood. The firm is led by Steven Safieh, who has practised law since 1995 and is licensed to practice in Ontario, in California, and in England and Wales. Safieh works alongside paralegal Michelle Sousa Melo, who has been dedicated to real estate transactions for 21 years and has practised as a paralegal for 16 years. Melo is a member of the Law Society of Ontario, teaches as a law instructor at Trios College, and speaks Portuguese.
The firm's practice centers on residential and commercial real estate: buying, selling, and financing property, including mortgage work. DomusLegal also offers virtual closings, which lets it handle a purchase or sale anywhere in Ontario without requiring clients to visit the Toronto office in person. That reach carries the firm's real estate work well beyond its own neighbourhood, to homebuyers and sellers across the province.
