About GB Law

One of the highest-rated law firms in Vaughan, going by its Google reviews.

GB Law is a small law firm in Vaughan, Ontario, practising personal injury, criminal defence, employment law, and wills and estate law. It's led by lawyer Godfrey Bakeerathan, who holds a B.A. (Hons) and a J.D. and has appeared before the Superior Court of Justice, the Ontario Court of Justice, and the License Appeal Tribunal, as well as in private and mandatory mediations.

The firm takes personal injury cases on a 35% contingency fee and employment cases on a 30% contingency fee, so clients aren't billed unless a case is resolved in their favour.

In 2025, GB Law was named a Diamond Winner in the Readers' Choice Awards for best law firm, best legal services, and best personal injury law services, recognized across Toronto, Markham, Vaughan, Newmarket, Richmond Hill, Thornhill, and Stouffville.

The neighbourhood

Frequently asked questions

Does GB Law take personal injury cases in Vaughan on contingency?
GB Law takes personal injury cases on a 35% contingency fee, so there's no upfront or hourly charge and the fee comes out of a settlement or award. If a case doesn't result in a financial settlement, the firm doesn't charge a fee for the work it did.
I think I was wrongfully dismissed. Can the firm review my severance package?
GB Law reviews severance offers and represents employees in wrongful dismissal and constructive dismissal matters. Employment cases are handled on a 30% contingency fee, so clients aren't billed until the case is resolved.
What criminal charges does GB Law defend in Vaughan and the surrounding area?
GB Law defends people charged with impaired driving, assault, theft and fraud, drug offences, weapons offences, and criminal harassment, and it handles bail hearings and youth criminal matters. The firm offers a free consultation and explains its fee options, a block fee or an hourly rate with an initial retainer, before taking on a case.
I have young children. Can I name a guardian for them in my will?
GB Law prepares wills that let a parent designate a guardian for their children, though the named guardian still has to file a formal court application within 90 days to secure approval. The firm also advises on how marriage or separation can affect an existing will.
How much does it cost to hire GB Law?
GB Law offers a free consultation and takes personal injury cases on a 35% contingency fee and employment cases on a 30% contingency fee, so clients pay nothing upfront and owe a fee only if the case is resolved in their favour. Criminal matters are billed through a block fee or an hourly rate with an initial retainer instead, with fees and costs explained before the firm starts work.
