About Hodgson Law
Hodgson Law is a law firm in midtown Toronto whose team includes barrister and solicitor J. Alan Hodgson. The firm says it has provided legal services for over 25 years, and its practice covers real estate, business law, and wills and estates work. The office sits at 830 Mt. Pleasant Road, one block north of Eglinton at the corner of Mt. Pleasant and Roehampton.
The real estate practice handles residential, recreational, and commercial or industrial transactions, along with mortgage work such as refinances, construction financing, and lines of credit. On the business side, the firm assists with buying and selling a business, incorporations, and shareholder agreements. Its estate work covers wills, powers of attorney, and trusts, plus estate administration, including probate applications and acting as executor or trustee. The firm describes its approach as educating clients through each step of a transaction so the process feels less intimidating, and it invites real estate clients to have their Agreement of Purchase and Sale reviewed before it's signed, since changes get harder to make once it's accepted.

The neighbourhood
The firm's office is on Mount Pleasant Road just north of Eglinton Avenue, in the stretch of the street that Wikipedia describes as running through established midtown neighbourhoods after it leaves Mount Pleasant Cemetery to the south, the source of the road's name. The office sits at the corner of Roehampton Avenue, with free client parking on the south side of the building off Roehampton.
Line 5 Eglinton's Mount Pleasant station opened at the Eglinton and Mount Pleasant intersection in February 2026, putting a subway stop within a block of the firm's door. For a real estate and business law practice that draws clients from across the city, an office this close to a brand new transit line is a genuine convenience, not just a nearby amenity.
Frequently asked questions
- Can Hodgson Law help me buy or sell a home in Toronto?
- Yes. Hodgson Law handles residential real estate transactions, including condos and cottages, from reviewing the Agreement of Purchase and Sale through to closing. The firm suggests having your agreement reviewed before you sign it, since it's harder to change terms once an offer is accepted.

- First time buyers can qualify for a provincial land transfer tax rebate of up to $4,000 and, for properties in the City of Toronto, a municipal rebate of up to $4,475. Hodgson Law prepares the paperwork for these rebates as part of a standard purchase, and asks clients emailing for a quote to confirm first time buyer status along with the property details and closing date.
