About Farjoud Law

Farjoud Law is a criminal defence firm run by lawyer Arman Farjoud, based in North York with an office in the Madison Centre building at 4950 Yonge Street, near Yonge and Sheppard. The firm's own site states it has served Toronto, the Greater Toronto Area and other Ontario jurisdictions for over eight years. The practice is limited to criminal law and covers bail hearings, impaired driving, assault charges (including domestic and sexual assault), drug offences, theft, fraud, robbery, weapons and firearms charges, and more serious matters such as homicide.

The firm offers services in Farsi/Persian and Dari, as well as Spanish, Arabic and Italian on request, and says it's one of a small number of GTA criminal defence firms that can work directly with Ontario's Iranian and Afghan communities in their own language. Farjoud is a member of the Law Society of Ontario, the Ontario Bar Association and the Criminal Lawyers' Association. The firm's FAQ page states that a licensed criminal lawyer, not a paralegal or student, handles every aspect of a client's matter, and that clients typically don't need to attend their own first court appearance because the firm attends on their behalf.

Who handles what

The neighbourhood

Farjoud Law's office is in Madison Centre, a 24 storey, 445,000 square foot office tower at 4950 Yonge Street in North York's Yonge and Sheppard area. The building has direct underground access to the Yonge-Sheppard subway station and sits under five minutes from Highway 401. For a firm that takes cases from Scarborough to Mississauga to Newmarket rather than relying on walk-in clients from the block, that kind of transit and highway access fits how the practice actually works.

Frequently asked questions

Does Farjoud Law offer services in Farsi or other languages besides English?
Yes. The firm offers criminal defence services in Farsi/Persian and Dari for Ontario's Iranian and Afghan communities, and in Spanish, Arabic and Italian on request.
Is the initial consultation free?
Farjoud Law provides a cost free initial consultation, where the lawyer reviews the case, discusses possible defences, and goes over options before any cost is determined.
Will I have to attend my own first court appearance?
Not usually. A first court appearance is administrative rather than a trial date, and Farjoud Law's FAQ page states that clients who retain the firm typically don't need to attend because the firm attends on their behalf.
How does Farjoud Law charge for a criminal case?
The firm says cost depends on the specifics of the case, and that clients often prefer a block fee over hourly billing for a predictable total. It accepts cash, credit cards, cheques, bank drafts, e-transfers, Legal Aid Ontario certificates, and payment plans.
Will a lawyer or a paralegal handle my case?
According to the firm's FAQ, a criminal lawyer licensed with the Law Society of Ontario handles every aspect of a client's matter, and the firm does not have paralegals or students handle cases.
What kinds of criminal charges does Farjoud Law handle?
The firm's practice covers bail hearings and reviews, impaired driving, assault (including domestic and sexual assault), drug offences, theft and fraud, robbery, weapons and firearms charges, criminal harassment, and more serious matters such as homicide.
