About Pilon Barristers

Pilon Barristers is a small firm in Scarborough, a district of Toronto, with two lawyers working out of an office on Ellesmere Road. The firm's about page describes "40 years experience in law" behind a practice covering family law, wills and estates, employment law, and general civil litigation, with matters ranging from cohabitation and marriage contracts to separation and divorce, wills and powers of attorney, employment disputes, and breach of contract or negligence claims. The firm's about page states that every effort will be made to conclude a fair settlement, but that it will advocate a client's case in court when necessary.

Maurice W. Pilon, the firm's senior lawyer, was called to the bar in 1981 after attending Osgoode Hall Law School and earning an LLM. Maurice Pilon's work has touched criminal, real estate, family, estate, employment, and corporate matters, with appearances in the Ontario Superior Court and Court of Appeal. Johanne S. Pilon was called to the bar in 2017, after a law degree from the University of Ottawa, where coursework centered on trial advocacy, and an honours undergraduate degree from York University. Before law school, Johanne Pilon worked closely with Maurice Pilon for many years, and gained further experience through legal aid work while in law school.

The neighbourhood

The firm's office is on Ellesmere Road in Scarborough, which was its own city until it amalgamated with Toronto, East York, Etobicoke, North York, and York in 1998 to form the current city of Toronto. Scarborough still has a distinct history within the amalgamated city, and a two lawyer general practice there is serving a community that spent most of the twentieth century running its own local government rather than being part of downtown Toronto.
