ESA Lawyers

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.
