About Shafouri Law Firm

Shafouri Law Firm is a Toronto practice led by lawyer Melika Shafouri, who received a Juris Doctor from the University of Toronto's Faculty of Law in 2013 and a Bachelor of Arts in political science from York University in 2009. Before starting the firm, Shafouri completed articles at a personal injury firm, gaining litigation experience that carried into the practice built afterward. The firm focuses on personal injury claims, immigration law, and general civil litigation matters, working from an office on Frederick Street in Toronto's Old Town and including Students-at-Law such as Shuqin Weng and Cynthia Yan on its team.
