About Golestani & Pop-Lazic LLP

Golestani & Pop-Lazic LLP is a small family law firm founded by Sanaz Golestani and Gabrielle Pop-Lazic. The firm works out of North York, with an office at 5200 Yonge Street, and serves clients across the Greater Toronto Area, the Durham region and the Golden Horseshoe/Niagara region through a virtual-first practice that meets clients where they are.

Golestani holds an LL.M. in family law from Osgoode Hall Law School, a JD from the University of Ottawa and a BA from York University, and has practiced family law exclusively since being called to the Ontario bar in 2013. Golestani is also fluent in English and Farsi. Pop-Lazic has appeared at every level of court in Ontario, including the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada. Together the two lawyers cover divorce, parenting time and decision making, child and spousal support, property division and domestic contracts, moving between negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation as a file requires.

The neighbourhood

The firm's office is at 5200 Yonge Street, right above North York Centre subway station near the corner of Yonge Street and Empress Avenue. This stretch of Yonge Street is North York's own downtown, a high density business district anchored by Mel Lastman Square, the North York Civic Centre, the North York Central Library and the Empress Walk shopping and entertainment complex. For a firm that runs a virtual-first practice reaching clients across the GTA, Durham and the Golden Horseshoe/Niagara region, sitting right on a subway line makes the in-person meetings that do come up easy to get to.
