Clients rate this firm highly on Google.
Hochberg Trial Lawyers is a Toronto sole practice run by Lenny Hochberg, who has practised law for about 25 years handling criminal defence and personal injury matters. Hochberg's education, according to the firm's site, includes York University and the University of Western Ontario, along with continuing legal education completed each year. Over that career, Hochberg has represented clients in criminal court, civil court, and before tribunals and boards, with the firm's site describing advocacy work touching human rights, Charter rights, gender equality, and biker rights, as well as the rights of business owners, the insured, and the imprisoned.
The firm is selective about the cases it takes on. Prospective clients are asked to send a written outline of their case, and the firm says it turns down more matters than it accepts, responding within five days if interested. Alongside criminal and personal injury work, the firm also practises what it calls sneaker law, representing clients in disputes over collectible sneakers now valuable enough, the firm notes, to cost more than a car or an apartment.

The neighbourhood
Hochberg Trial Lawyers' office sits at Dufflaw Road and Lawrence Avenue West in North York, in a business corridor that a listing for the building describes as close to Highway 401, Allen Road, and TTC transit, with immediate access to Dufferin Street. It's an office and industrial stretch rather than a traditional storefront strip, with big box retailers including Costco, Walmart, and Yorkdale Mall nearby. The firm's own site describes Hochberg's caseload as reaching well beyond the immediate area, serving clients across Ontario rather than just North York.
