About Andrew

 I have been practicing as a paralegal since September 2011; I recently celebrated my 11th year of practice, with my 12 year anniversary soon approaching. In that time, my primary practice area has been residential tenancy litigation before the Landlord and Tenant Board, and before the Small Claims Court on a variety of matters ranging from breach of contract, to debt recovery, to condominium matters. I have also on occasion made appearances before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, the Labour Relations Board, the Ontario Court of Justice on matters under the Provincial Offences Act. A representative sample of my work can be found here.

During that time, I have had the chance to work as a sole practitioner,  in private practice for some prominent boutique law and paralegal firms in the GTA, as well as in-house for one of Ontario's largest landlord corporations, with holdings from Ottawa to Windsor. My litigation style combines a deep knowledge of the relevant case law with a practical eye towards the long-term outcome of any case.

I am available to attend at the Landlord and Tenant Board on both landlord and tenant matters ranging from simple adjournments to contested hearings. Additionally, I am available to assist in pre-hearing matters, including the drafting of notices, motions, and requests to review.

While my primary practice area has been residential tenancy litigation, I also have extensive experience in Small Claims Court matters. As such, in addition to the Landlord and Tenant Board, I am available for appearances before the Small Claims Court on pre-trial matters (Motions and Settlement Conferences) and to assist with drafting documents for use before the Court.

It is important to be able to give your file to a steady hand who is able to work towards the best possible outcome for you and your client(s). While I cannot guarantee any outcomes, I am confident I can be the steady hand who you can trust with your matters when assistance is needed.
