The neighbourhood

Fine & Associates runs its practice from three offices spread across the western half of the GTA rather than a single downtown address. The North York headquarters sits on Finch Avenue West, the Thornhill office is on Leslie Street just south of Highway 7 in the Markham area, and the third office is on Upper Middle Road in Oakville. That spread lets the firm meet family law clients closer to home in three different municipalities instead of asking everyone to travel to one central courthouse district.

The firm's language list, which includes Hebrew, Russian, Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi and Gujarati alongside English, and its dedicated Jewish divorce and Get practice reflect the multicultural client base it serves across the region.
