About Edward Tonello

Edward Tonello runs a solo civil litigation practice from an office on Dufferin Street in Toronto, serving clients in Toronto and Mississauga. According to the firm's website, Tonello has practised litigation for more than 40 years, handling matters that include breach of contract, negligence, fraud and misrepresentation, misappropriation, interference with business relations, lawyer malpractice, injunctions, real estate and mortgage litigation, invasion of privacy, and trusts and estates disputes. Tonello is a member of the Law Society of Ontario, the Toronto Lawyers Association, the Ontario Bar Association, and the Canadian Bar Association.

Tonello's education includes De La Salle, a Catholic private high school in Toronto founded in 1851, followed by St. Michael's College at the University of Toronto and the university's law school. The firm's website also describes two matters it says drew wider media attention: a lawsuit against Rogers Wireless over alleged invasion of privacy and breach of contract, seeking $600,000 in damages, and a fraud case in which Tonello obtained an injunction freezing jewelry allegedly used to fund a pyramid scheme that cost investors close to $2 million.
