Toronto Civil Litigation Lawyer
Civil litigation refers to a legal dispute between two or more parties that does not involve a crime or any criminal charges. This generally consists of one party (the plaintiff) seeking monetary or alternative damages from another party (the defendant). Small claims court in Ontario includes any civil dispute under the monetary value of $35,000. Due to the comprehensive nature of civil litigation cases, the type of cases varies per client. Litigation can be a very complex process, however, at Juzkiw Law, we can help simplify and guide you through it.
Our Areas of Litigation Expertise
Breach of Contract
If you have entered into a contract with another party whom you feel has breached the terms of the contract, Juzkiw Law can help. Moreover, If one party fails to do or perform the duties required under the contract or fails to make payment(s) pursuant to the contract agreement, we can help guide the suffering party to seek compensation and/or damages. At Juzkiw Law, we can review your case with you and give legal advice on how to proceed with a contract dispute.
Property Disputes
Property rights are about disputes over what people have and how they can use them. The property dispute law does not only apply to the ownership of the real estate, but it also applies to the possession of the personal property, which is why it is common to appear also within family law. At Juzkiw law, our property lawyer has experience in property disputes and can guide you through the process.
Fraudulent Invoices & Billing
Fraudulent invoices and billing can occur when you pay a fake or divergence invoice. That means that you pay for a good or service that you did not buy with information that differs from your purchase. At Juzkiw Law, we can review your case, provide legal advice and help you proceed with your fraud litigation.
Insurance Claims
If you are dealing with an insurance claim in Toronto, Juzkiw Law can help.

At Juzkiw Law, we will carefully review your insurance policy and the reasons given for denial and will obtain the necessary information to achieve a fair result for you.
Property Damage
Property damage occurs when there is damage to physical property (personal or real estate).

- What is a demand letter?
- A demand letter is simply a letter in which one party demands something from the opposing party.
- Why send a demand letter?
- More than 90% of Legal cases are resolved before trial by simply a strong demand letter. A Demand Letter simply increases the chances of gaining what you want without proceeding to court. On the other hand, you show the other party that you have retained counsel and are serious about enforcing your legal rights
Receiving a Demand Letter can be harsh and you may disagree with what’s being written about you on the Demand Letter. It is best to start preparing your defense by having a lawyer on your side to review the demand letter you received. Once the Demand Letter is carefully reviewed, it can be countered with a strong reply to prevent the other party from initiating a Lawsuit.
