Costa Law was founded by David Costa, and has expanded over the years to become what it is today - a well-established and respected firm. Our law firm marketing agency focuses on providing up to date website support.

Business people and individuals require cost-effective quality legal advice. The professionals at Costa Law Firm understand this and continue to meet and exceed client expectations.
These crimes are known as strict liability offences. Other crimes require the proof of mens rea - the intent to commit the act. Further, criminal cases may be prosecuted in different way. Some are prosecuted summarily, others by indictment. There are also offences known as dual or hybrid offences, which could be prosecuted either summarily or by indictment.
If I could give David Costa more than 5 stars I would. The moment that I called him in 2015, I knew right away that he was the right person to represent my son. He gave my son a list of things to do to help his case. David replied to every email that I sent to him and answered all my questions no matter how many times I asked the same questions.
Our office is located at 1015 Bloor Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M6H 1M1. We are between Ossington and Dufferin subway stations on Toronto's main Bloor-Danforth subway line. Call us at 416-535-6329 to book a consultation. Lawyers' fees are mostly based on experience and time spent to resolve your matter.

We have used Costa Law Firm on several occasions, and have always been very pleased with the results. The team is friendly and responsive. Kowlasar has assisted us with a few real estate transactions and they have all gone smoothly. We also had a friend who needed assistance from David, and they were very appreciative of the care and compassion he provided during a difficult time, but especially impressed with the expertise and knowledge he demonstrated in his field.

Wanted to thank Costa Law Firm for all the advice that they provided during our home closing. Being a first time home buyer is very stressful, there was a lot of important details that we were not aware of. Appreciated them taking the time reviewing all the documentation with us, and closing without any issue. Thank again for all your support and patience.

I contacted this law firm after I got scammed, now after justice was served I can say it was the right move. Being a victim of fraud I know what it's like to feel helpless and desperate, and having a lawyer like David is a relief

Costa Law. A place where the office administrator/Legal assistant, Ana Cardoso, will send a time-sensitive demand letter by email, and not by courier, or registered mail. Ask any other legal firm why that would be inappropriate and they will tell you that there is absolutely no proof that the recipient will have received the message. No signature, no proof. How useful will that be in court? It will not stand up in court - and when that demand letter is worth $25,000 for a counter suit.....I will let you figure out how that goes.
Here is the alternative review of the same demand letter from the

Trust me when I say this David is a scam artist he will rinse you of your money. You will receive unknown legal fees with no real explanation or breakdown of where they came from, combined with horrible communication ( I personally never heard from him for weeks about any updates, and when it was time for our meetings he'd literally forget my entire case). Save yourself the trouble and find another lawyer/law firm.

Thank you, David! You were really fighting to clear an innocent person of the crime he never committed! If any of my friends would ever need a good lawyer (God forbid) I will definitely recommend you!

Its comforting to see that we weren't the only people who got rinsed of all their money by this firm. We spent several years paying for unknown legal fees which we never saw a single breakdown for (or any progression in our case for that matter) and eventually our case was passed off shortly before trial. Do not recommend for serious criminal charges, save your money and find representation that is anywhere but here.

We needed a quick closing done for our recently bought home on Lawrence and Black Creek. Kowlasar from Costa law firm was very helpful in our closing. While the deal was pretty straight forward he was helpful in answering the questions we had. Pleasure to work with such a professional team.

I was helping my father help get his mother to immigrate to Canada and needed consultation from a lawyer. Didn't deal with lawyers ever but Costa law were quiet accommodating and helpful when it came to understanding the immigration processes.

Met with our real estate lawyer on Monday to finalize everything for our new home before the keys got released on Friday morning. Turns out our lawyer never sent the documents to the builder until Thursday night, so they didn't arrive by Friday morning. Although I had booked the day off work and planned to start moving early, we literally had to sit around all day waiting for the courier to deliver the documents late Friday afternoon before we could get the keys and move. A big stress that could have been avoided if our lawyer acted quicker.
