Reviews From Our Clients

We engaged Denis Grigoras to represent us in a defamation lawsuit a long-term care facility imposed on us, after the passing of our mother. Despite feeling discouraged about our chances of obtaining justice as advocates for our elderly mother, Denis conducted thorough research and assisted us in drafting an antiSLAPP motion, a novel strategy for addressing our situation. His exceptional dedication to research and preparation for the court hearing resulted in our victory. Denis exhibited professionalism, empathy, and a commitment to ensuring justice prevailed. We wholeheartedly endorse him to others in need of legal representation.

Tom and Maria Moore Clients

Selling our business for millions of dollars required a firm that was very detail oriented to ensure that all our interests were covered both legally and financially. I'm very please with the professionalism that Grigoras Law brought to the table on our behalf.

Rob Ward Client

Excellent communication, timeliness, expertise. Also takes time to explain things, and advocated for me. These things helped me feel comfortable trusting his judgment regarding what actions to take moving forward. Excellent transparency and rate as well. Would not think twice about going with Grigoras Law again if I had the need.

Hasan Baassiri Client

I met Denis 7 years ago when I was a Director of an fledgling organization. We needed professional advice to Incorporate expeditiously. I reached out to Denis, who was highly recommended as an expert in business Law. In my discussions with him I explained the 'time sensitivity' of our circumstances. The more I got to know Denis the more I could sense his professionalism and his eagerness to help. So we asked him to go ahead and get it done. Denis absolutely lived up to his reputation! He remained in close contact with us, providing regular updates and giving us realistic expectations. Sooner than we expected our organization had become a corporate entity. Denis' counsel was cogent, his work proficient, and the outcome exceeded all of our expectations! I would unquestionably recommend Denis and his associates to anyone who has Business Law dilemmas!

John Sisco Client

As an indigenous person seeking resolution of a matter with Indigenous Northern Affairs Canada, I requested legal support at Grigoras Law. Mr. Grigoras spent the time needed with me to craft and communicate my legal needs and I was totally shocked and amazed at how quickly INAC responded. It significantly changed my life and I am extremely grateful for how intelligent, informed, professional and responsive Grigoras Law was in the time of my legal need. Their fees were also fair. I highly recommend them!

Charity Fleming Client

I have only good comments about this law firm and Denis. Our case was out of Kansas City, MO in the states against a man in Canada. We didn't know a law firm in Canada and was referred to Denis. That was a lucky or wise move, probably both. He accomplished exactly what needed to be done. His legal expertise were ideas and knowledge we had never heard of but were very happy they existed in his brain. The opposing side I'm sure didn't know the whole story or truth from his client which made this awesome to watch to fruition. Denis' sense of humor and wisdom were very much appreciated. Needless to say we won! Thank you Denis!

Kathie Hockenberry Client

I am a US attorney and Denis helped me and my client secure a substantial refund on a private contract with a Canadian company. He was great to work with from the beginning. He was responsive, thorough, conscientious, and fair to me and my client, yet tough, deliberate and diligent to the defendants. He did a great job for us and got the job done without delay. I made the right choice by using Denis. I would definitely use him again should I ever have another dispute in Canada.

Anne Watanabe Client

Excellent services! I was seeking legal advise for an urgent problem, where someone has wronged me. After weeks of calls, emails, to all possible lawyers, that told me that they are not able to help, I have finally found Denis. I contacted him and within less then 48 hrs, Denis has reached out back to me, even on a Sunday, understanding how urgent the matter was. He advised me realistically and talked with me about an action plan even before we started the collaboration and was open to help. For the entire period while we collaborated, Denis has shown high professionalism and proven expertise, very well versed in his business and industry and he made it sure that I am always in the best position related to the legal scope, and that I will be rightdone. It was a pleasure collaborating with him, he was suportive and attentive to all my questions (and they were not a few), and in the end, it all ended up well for me. If you need a legal expert, don’t look any further and don’t waste time; I would highly recommend Denis anytime to anyone in need of legal expertise. Thank you, Denis!

When Does the Limitation Period Start for a Defamation Claim Stemming from False Police Reports?

The ruling in Kulyk v. Guastella reminds us of the importance of timely dealing with civil defamation claims, regardless of concurrent criminal proceedings. Justice Myers’ decision, grounded in the interpretation of the Limitations Act, emphasizes an objective standard for initiating defamation claims. Potential plaintiffs must therefore remain vigilant and proactive in protecting their legal rights against defamatory accusations, even amidst criminal proceedings.
