About Grillo Law

One of the highest-rated law firms in Toronto, going by its Google reviews.

Grillo Law is a personal injury firm based in Toronto, founded by Salvatore Grillo in 1985. Grillo studied at Osgoode Hall Law School before starting the practice, and has said the reason was that accident victims were not being properly represented in personal injury litigation. The firm represents people hurt in motor vehicle collisions, slip and falls, and public transit accidents, along with claims involving long term and short term disability, product liability, wrongful death, and accident benefits. It works on a contingency basis, so clients don't pay legal fees unless a case is won or settled, and it offers a free initial consultation.

The firm has grown to include more than 90 staff, among them lawyers and licensed paralegals, and it says it can serve clients in more than a dozen languages. Several lawyers at the firm, including Giorgio Grillo and Christian Grillo, share the Grillo surname with the founder. Beyond its main Toronto office, the firm keeps consultation offices in Vaughan, Whitby, Mississauga, two Scarborough locations, and Barrie, so clients across the region can meet closer to home.

The neighbourhood

Grillo Law's main office is on Apex Road in Toronto, a one minute walk from Lawrence West subway station on Line 1. That's a fitting location for a firm whose caseload includes public transit accident claims alongside the more familiar car crash and slip and fall files.

Rather than asking every client to travel downtown, the firm also keeps consultation offices spread across the region: in Vaughan, Whitby, Mississauga, two Scarborough locations, and Barrie. The Toronto address is the head office, and the other locations exist for meetings closer to where clients live.
