About Costa Law Firm

A Toronto firm that began with criminal defence

Costa Law Firm describes itself as a full-service law firm in Toronto, with criminal defence as its best-known practice, and says it has served the city and the wider region since 1993. Its founder has been a criminal lawyer for more than twenty-five years, and its phone line is staffed at all hours for urgent matters such as bail hearings, police interview requests, surrender demands and immigration deportation.

Criminal defence

The criminal group handles bail hearings and bail reviews, impaired driving, fraud, break and enter, domestic and sexual assault, weapons offences, drug possession, pardons, Highway Traffic Act offences and extradition. The firm says its lawyers help clients decide what to say to police, immigration officers and children's aid workers, and can act even before a charge is laid, for pending questioning, a bail hearing, a pre-trial or a trial. It adds that it takes time to understand a client's situation before giving advice, since criminal cases are emotional and complex. The firm says it has won the Top Choice Awards for law firms repeatedly, a count it puts at ten.

Family law and estates

The family team deals with contested and uncontested divorce, custody and access, child and spousal support, division of assets, variation orders, adoption, separation agreements and prenuptial agreements, and the firm says its lawyers have argued before the Ontario Court of Justice, the Superior Court of Justice and the Divisional Court. The wills and estates group points out that blended families, common-law partnerships and dependants with disabilities make estate planning complicated, and says it can help throughout the life of an estate, including wills and powers of attorney.

Business, property and employment

On the business side, lawyers work on incorporation, partnership and shareholder agreements, the buying and selling a business, commercial leases, transfers of shares and purchases of assets. The real estate group is said to be well respected in the communities where it practises. The labour and employment group covers employment agreements, termination, notice, constructive dismissal and wrongful dismissal under employment standards. The firm also lists civil litigation and municipal matters.

How the lawyers work together

The firm says its lawyers in different areas work together as one practice to deliver efficient service at a fair price, and that it uses agents and a reliable working method in dealing with clients and with prosecutors.
