“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.”

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 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.”
COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT EMPLOYMENT LAW
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I BELIEVE I WAS WRONGFULLY DISMISSED?
You should seek legal advice before signing any severance agreement. A lawyer can help determine whether the offer is fair.
DO I HAVE TO ACCEPT THE SEVERANCE PACKAGE OFFERED BY MY EMPLOYER?
Statutory notice runs one week per year to eight weeks. Common law reasonable notice is separate and usually larger.
CAN I CHALLENGE WORKPLACE HARASSMENT LEGALLY?
Yes. An Ontario employer generally needs no reason to end your employment, only adequate notice or pay in place of it. Falling short of that is what makes a dismissal wrongful.
HOW LONG DO EMPLOYMENT DISPUTES TAKE TO RESOLVE?
Not always. Unpaid wages and statutory notice claims suit the free Ministry of Labour route. Advice pays once a dismissal or a contract clause is in play.
