About Law Office of Howard S. Dyment
The Law Office of Howard S. Dyment is a solo wills and estates practice run from the Yonge Eglinton Centre in midtown Toronto. Howard S. Dyment holds an LL.B. from the University of Ottawa Law School, graduating in 1976 after undergraduate studies at York University, and has practised law since 1978. The practice has also held a licence as an arbitrator since 1997, which supports its work in estate and family mediation alongside the will and estate planning docket.
The firm's core work is estate planning: wills, powers of attorney, and estate administration, with related services in mediation and arbitration, family consultation about estate planning decisions, and review of marriage and cohabitation agreements as they affect an estate plan. For estates that need broader financial forecasting, the office works alongside outside forensic accountants, estate accountants, and a financial and estate planner. Clients can meet by Zoom or in person, and beyond the Yonge and Eglinton office the practice also meets clients at branch locations in the Hudson's Bay Centre and First Canadian Place, giving it reach across midtown and the downtown core.

The neighbourhood
The office is at 2300 Yonge Street in the Yonge Eglinton Centre in midtown Toronto. For an estate planning practice, that midtown base is only part of the picture: the firm also arranges client meetings at Hudson's Bay Centre near Bloor and Yonge and at First Canadian Place in the financial district, so clients working or living downtown do not need to travel to midtown for an appointment. Consultations by Zoom round out the arrangement for clients anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area.
