Accepts Legal AidAbout Michael Cohen Barrister And Solicitor
Michael Cohen Barrister And Solicitor is a solo law practice in Toronto, established in 2015. It's led by Michael Cohen, a graduate of Western University's Faculty of Law who was called to the Ontario Bar in 2012. Before starting the practice, Cohen worked at Toronto firms focused on employment law and civil litigation, representing individual and corporate clients. During law school, Cohen was a peer mentor to incoming students, volunteered with a Family Law Clinic, and took part in advocacy and negotiation competitions.
The practice concentrates on employment law and civil litigation, with client work spanning termination and severance disputes, unpaid wages, short and long term disability claims, leaves of absence, and workplace harassment or discrimination. Civil litigation matters include property disagreements, custody issues, and business contract disputes, and the firm also takes on discrimination and human rights complaints, with legal aid available for qualifying clients. The main office is in Toronto's Yonge-Sheppard corridor, and the firm keeps a satellite office in Markham. It offers free consultations, evening hours until 7pm on weekdays, and weekend appointments by request, and Cohen holds membership in the Law Society of Ontario, the Ontario Bar Association, and the Canadian Bar Association.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The Toronto office is in Madison Centre at 4950 Yonge Street, an office and retail tower in the Yonge-Sheppard corridor of North York with direct underground access to the Yonge-Sheppard TTC station. That makes the office an easy stop for clients arriving by transit rather than hunting for street parking on a busy commercial strip. A second, satellite office at 7676 Woodbine Avenue puts the firm within reach of clients on the eastern side of York Region, in Markham, without everyone having to travel into North York for an appointment.
