About Karoly Law

Karoly Law, formally Aliza Karoly Law Office Inc., is a small Toronto firm at 2828 Bathurst Street. Aliza Karoly founded the firm in 2018 after 17 years as a lawyer and partner at Carranza LLP, from 2000 to 2017. Karoly earned a Bachelor of Arts in religious studies from York University in 1995 and a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1998, and was admitted to the Ontario bar in 2000.

The firm's practice centres on personal injury work, including motor vehicle collisions, slip and fall claims, and injuries at school or camp, along with short term and long term disability claims and CPP disability appeals. It also handles employment law and severance, education law and school litigation, breach of contract disputes, and private defence for individuals and property owners facing injury claims without insurance coverage. Several of these areas can be handled through a limited scope retainer, such as a document review or an appeal letter, rather than full representation. Licensed paralegal Tiki Bleeman, who joined the firm in December 2020, taught Hebrew Studies at Eitz Chaim Hebrew Toronto Day School from 2011 to 2017 before moving into law, and brings that background to the firm's school injury and education law files.

The neighbourhood

Karoly Law's office is on Bathurst Street near Lawrence Avenue, in Toronto's Lawrence Manor neighbourhood. The area is a hub for Toronto's Jewish community, with schools, synagogues, and kosher shops within a short walk of the firm's suite.

It's a residential part of the city rather than a downtown legal district; this stretch of Bathurst Street is lined with a mix of low-rise and high-rise apartment buildings rather than office towers.
