Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The firm's office is in a commercial building at 45 St. Clair Avenue West, built in 1969, right at the corner of Yonge Street and St. Clair Avenue in midtown Toronto. The Yonge and St. Clair area is a business district with a mix of corporate offices, restaurants, and retail, and it sits next to the St. Clair subway station, which makes it a straightforward stop for clients coming from other parts of the city rather than a walk-in neighbourhood practice. Older residential areas like Rosedale, Forest Hill, and Lawrence Park are a short drive from the building.
Frequently asked questions
- What areas of employment law does Dismissed.ca handle?
- The firm focuses on wrongful dismissal, constructive dismissal, unjust dismissal, workplace discrimination, workplace harassment, breach of contract, and human rights complaints, along with reviewing employment contracts and severance packages.
- I think I was wrongfully or constructively dismissed. Can Dismissed.ca help?
- Wrongful and constructive dismissal are core parts of the firm's practice. Dismissed.ca offers a free 30 minute consultation to review the circumstances of a dismissal and any severance offer before you respond to your employer.
- Should I sign the release my employer sent with my severance offer?
- The firm's own FAQ page advises against signing a release without legal advice first, since a release is a contract that gives up your right to pursue other legal claims in exchange for the severance offered. Statutory termination and severance payments under the Employment Standards Act do not require you to sign anything.

- Yes. Dismissed.ca offers contingency fees, generally starting around 30 percent and going up to a maximum of 50 percent depending on factors like the complexity of the file and the result achieved.
