About ESA Lawyers
ESA Lawyers is a small Toronto firm working in family law, real estate law, and wills and estate planning, with an office at 250 Davisville Ave in the city's Davisville Village neighbourhood. Eli Antel started the firm in 2018 after being called to the Ontario bar in 2006 and spending years at a large Bay Street firm working with corporate clients. Antel left that practice to concentrate on individuals instead, and the firm today also includes Stacey Mintsopoulos, who was called to the bar in 2018 and practices in the same three areas.
The firm's real estate work covers residential purchases, sales, and refinancing, along with more specific matters like matrimonial home designations, severance of joint tenancy, and intra family transfers. Its family law practice runs from cohabitation and marriage contracts through separation agreements, custody and access arrangements, and support, and cases can go through mediation, arbitration, or litigation depending on what fits. On the estates side, the firm drafts wills and powers of attorney for personal care and property, and handles estate administration and probate. ESA Lawyers says it serves clients across Ontario in English and French.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
ESA Lawyers is on Davisville Ave in Toronto's Davisville Village, a short walk from Davisville subway station on the Yonge line. The area grew from a small nineteenth century settlement into one of the city's most densely built residential neighbourhoods, mixing houses from the 1920s and 1930s with newer condo towers, and most residents there now live in high rise or low rise buildings rather than detached homes.
That mix of longtime homeowners and newer condo buyers lines up with the firm's day to day work: closing residential purchases and sales, drafting wills and powers of attorney, and putting together separation agreements and parenting arrangements for families in the neighbourhood around the office.
