OUR TEAM
Trusted legal professionals.
Meet the experienced legal professionals dedicated to protecting your interests with trusted guidance and results-driven representation.
The people who will handle your file
The person you meet at the first consultation is the person who runs your matter. That is worth stating because it is not universal: in higher-volume practices the intake meeting and the file handling are done by different people, and clients often do not meet their actual lawyer for weeks. Zayouna Law Firm is built the other way round. The team spans personal injury, long term disability, medical malpractice, employment and commercial litigation, and between them the lawyers and staff serve clients in several languages, with interpreters arranged where the firm does not speak a client’s language.
A RECORD OF ADVOCACY AND RESULTS
Practice leads across the firm's five areas
Joseph Zayouna founded the firm in 2003 and leads its personal injury work, representing seriously injured Ontarians in motor vehicle, slip and fall and catastrophic injury claims. Samiya Ahmad leads the employment practice, covering dismissal, severance, workplace harassment and human rights matters. Sam Gebrael leads commercial litigation and dispute resolution, called to both the New York and Ontario bars. Anthony Windwar leads medical malpractice. The firm is a member of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association and the Ontario Bar Association.
We do everything we can to fight for your best interests.
We celebrate the fact that we are located in Toronto, the most multicultural city in the world, and can offer services in multiple languages to serve our clients in their language of preference. If you speak a language that we don’t speak, we have interpreters available to help you communicate with us.

REAL STORIES. REAL SUPPORT.
“Had Joseph and his team overlooking my long and unusual case (7 years) and Joseph did an excellent job settling my file in mediation with very satisfactory numbers. Most importantly, we had settled the file after 7 long years of ups and downs. I highly recommend Zayouna Law Firm to handle vour needs! Give them a call and go meet with Joseph, you have nothing to lose!”
“I am so glad I was introduced from a friend to Zayouna Law Firm! They’re unbelievably awesome!! I am very happy with all their help and efforts. Special thanks to Nadia who’s help is endless from start to finished! God Bless you all!”
“Very professional team of lawyers and clerks. They took the time to explain to me the law and the process. Their vast experience in personal injury law is evident in their dealings with all parties.”
“Zayouna Law Firm will fight on your behalf to obtain fair and just compensation for your sustained injury. Their lawyers are highly skilled, experienced in their field and most importantly they care, and provide the personal touch at all times to help guide you through a most challenging period of your life. They are there to help you in every step of the way. I strongly suggest you reach out to them to discuss your specific needs and to receive their advice and guidance. I highly recommend Zayouna Law Firm.”
“I have known Samiya Ahmad for many years and I can say, without a doubt, that she is an excellent lawyer with fantastic intuition and a genuine desire to promote the well being of her clients. In my opinion this is exactly what you should look for in a lawyer, someone with not just a degree, but rather an individual who has excellent legal skills and is able to apply them in a practical and passionate manner. In a marketplace with so many mixed messages and (unfortunately) unreliable service providers, I am glad that lawyers such as Samiya exist as an exception from the rule.”
“Like most MVA’s, litigation takes a long time. Joe and his team were great in all aspects of our representation, communication, follow ups, replies, and transparency over this extended period of time. Heaven forbid, if I did have another MVA that required a lawyer, this is the team I would choose to protect us.”
“Zayouna Law Firm is a very professional firm with kind, welcoming and understanding team. Very happy and satisfied that I have chosen them to represent me. Highly recommended.”
“Joseph and team were very professional and on top of every situation that arose. Joseph is a very kind and understanding Lawyer. We appreciate all that he did for us. Thank you is not enough for what Joseph has done for us. Once again, Thank you Joseph and team.”
