    About James

    As a seasoned civil litigation lawyer with 18+ years of experience, I’ve dedicated my career to fighting for the underdogs and taking on the bullies. With a proven track record of winning trials and applications in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, and successfully arguing appeals in the Court of Appeal and Divisional Court, I’m known for being the voice of reason that gets fair deals.

    I practice what I preach. When you hire me, you’re getting an accomplished and respected litigation lawyer who genuinely cares about your situation.

    “James Katz is smart, knows the law, and asks the right questions to understand the facts of your case. He successfully represented me in an eight-year legal odyssey of civil litigation, culminating in a final victory at the Ontario Court of Appeal. Throughout the case, James demonstrated patience, dedication, and, perhaps most importantly, a warm sense of humor, no matter what the other side tried to throw at him. ”

    “From the first consultation with James Katz, I knew I was in good hands. James spent time explaining complex legal terms and processes in an easy-to-understand way, making sure that I was always comfortable. His prompt and clear communication made me feel like a top priority. What truly made James unique was his kindness.  He was genuinely concerned about my situation and worked tirelessly to ensure the best outcome. Not only is he a skilled lawyer, but he is also a trustworthy and empathetic supporter.”

    Case Results

    Results speak for themselves. I’ve helped my clients obtain thousands of dollars in settlements.

    The outcome of a legal case can never be guaranteed, and past successes don’t predict future results. Every case is one-of-a-kind, with its own set of facts and circumstances. The results mentioned on this website are specific to those individual cases and shouldn’t be taken as a promise or expectation for your own legal matter.

    Online Defamation

    Case Type

    Details: I represented a client who suffered relentless online libel attacks on their website. After a rigorous three-week civil jury trial, I obtained a permanent injunction, halting the defamation and protecting my client’s reputation. It was a big win for my client and a reminder that you don’t have to take online harassment – you can fight back and protect your good name.

    Contract Dispute

    Case Type

    I helped someone in a tough spot, standing up for his fair share in a property dispute. I advocated for the property to be sold and the proceeds split 50/50. The court ruled in our favour, and my client got the fair share he deserved.

    I helped a commercial landlord get the rent they were owed from a former tenant who refused to pay. I took the tenant to court and won a decisive victory, securing a significant amount of money for my client. It was a big win for a hardworking business owner who just wanted what was fair.
