One of the highest-rated law firms in Thornhill, going by its Google reviews.
Kazandji Law is a criminal defence and family law firm with its founding office in Thornhill and additional locations in Toronto, Oakville, and North York, serving clients across the Greater Toronto Area. Founding and Managing Partner Fadi Matthew Kazandji was called to the Ontario Bar in 2017 and practises in English and Arabic. The team of about a dozen lawyers handles criminal charges ranging from impaired driving to more serious matters such as assault, fraud, and firearms offences, along with family law work in divorce, custody, support, and property division.
The firm leans on mediation to keep family law disputes out of court where it can, walking clients through a structured process from an initial consultation to a signed agreement. Its team also includes a registered social worker with a Master of Social Work, who brings a trauma informed lens to cases involving high conflict, mental health concerns, or domestic issues and works alongside the lawyers on research, drafting, and client support.

The complex combines a hotel, a shopping mall with a supermarket, and four residential condo towers, with office space suitable for a range of businesses. It's a fitting spot for a firm that draws clients from across the Greater Toronto Area rather than one neighbourhood.
