About Ryan Zigler

Ryan Zigler Law is a solo Toronto family law practice run by Ryan Zigler from an office on Sheppard Avenue East. Zigler earned an LLB from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1983 and was called to the Ontario bar in 1985, and is a member of the Ontario Bar Association and The Advocates Society. The firm has served Toronto families for more than 35 years, working on divorce, child custody and access, child and spousal support, property division, separation agreements, premarital agreements, and cases involving relocation or parental abduction. It also handles domestic violence restraining orders and offers mediation as a faster, less costly alternative to a fully litigated separation.

Beyond family law, the firm takes on wrongful dismissal and personal injury claims, including slip and fall, insurance, and medical malpractice matters, and has represented clients before the Ontario Court of Justice, the Superior Court of Justice, the Ontario Court of Appeal, and various administrative boards and tribunals. It says it has helped clients reach settlements or judgments of up to $3 million in these cases. Legal assistant Nicole Peart, who holds a Legal Assistant diploma from Centennial College and a Law Clerk diploma from the Institute of Law Clerks of Ontario, has worked in family and litigation law support for more than 20 years and joined the firm in 2017.

Who handles what

The neighbourhood

The firm's office sits in a Sheppard Avenue East building in Toronto's Pleasantview neighbourhood, right off the Sheppard exit from Highway 404, in a property classified as office space. Fairview Mall is nearby. That kind of highway access makes the office easy to reach for clients travelling in from other parts of Toronto, which fits a practice that draws family law, wrongful dismissal, and personal injury clients from across the city rather than from one neighbourhood.
