SMP Law is wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday! Please be advised that SMP Law will be closed for the Christmas Holidays effective 12:00 p.m. on Friday December 17, 2021 through to 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, January 4, 2022.

The current guidelines indicate that civil appeals, criminal solicitor appeals and oral panel motions would return to in person attendance. Lawyers and self-represented people may appear virtually by zoom if they prefer. Check out SMP Law's tips on returning to court in person.

In a recent situation with a Toronto Long Term Care Facility, the care facility refused to allow my client to take her mother home for visits and refused her wishes to bring her mother home permanently to care for her on her own.

During the summer, people like to slow down, maybe take some vacation and generally try to enjoy the nice weather.  It won't be long before we start seeing those commercials advertising back to school supplies.

Here at SMP Law we believe in keeping things as SiMPle as possible.  One key component to keeping things SiMPle is planning ahead.  Planning ahead when organizing your estate matters is particularly important to ensure your wishes are followed.
