About Hailey J. Zysman, Barrister & Solicitor
Hailey J. Zysman, Barrister & Solicitor is a sole practice based on Yonge Street in Thornhill, Ontario, serving family law, wills and estates, bankruptcy and insolvency, and civil litigation clients across the Greater Toronto Area. The firm has prepared family court materials and appeared at the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice for matters in Toronto, Newmarket, Brampton, Mississauga, Milton, Oakville, Markham, Richmond Hill, Orangeville, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, and Oshawa. Hailey Zysman is a collaboratively trained lawyer who takes a settlement first approach to family law files, working to resolve separation and divorce issues through negotiation before going to court.
The firm also runs a pilot project that extends wills, powers of attorney, separation agreements, and uncontested divorce services to Northern Ontario communities, including Sudbury, Parry Sound, the French River, Killarney, Muskoka, Owen Sound, Kawartha Lakes, and the North Bay area, through in-person appointments booked in advance. Zysman teaches Business Law at the University of Guelph-Humber and belongs to the Toronto Lawyers Association, the York Region Lawyers Association, and the Family Law Association.

The neighbourhood
The firm's Thornhill office is the address listed on its contact page, on Yonge Street, with a direct phone and fax line. For clients who prefer public transit, the firm also arranges special appointments at Dufferin and Finch in North York, a location it names specifically for TTC access. Keeping a Yonge Street base in Thornhill while offering a transit-connected North York option reflects how the practice draws clients from across York Region and the wider GTA rather than from one neighbourhood alone.
