Amanda S.
David Kelman at Schwartz and Schwartz really came through for me on my real estate deal. He is a class act and I highly recommend him!
Shaun D.
We used David and his team to close on our new house; there were a lot of moving parts on a tight timeline but they handled everything perfectly (including a claim we ended up having to make on the title insurance due to the previous homeowner not paying a utility bill). Competitive pricing as well. I’d definitely use them again.
Katrina L.
David Kelman is an excellent lawyer who is equally personable. He will help you along the way.
Heather M.
My husband and I worked with Schwartz and Schwartz — David and Grace did a fantastic job with our real estate legal needs, and closing our house. It was a little complicated, and they handled it so smoothly we didn’t worry. Their level of professionalism and customer service is so appreciated, and especially for such a major transaction. David and Grace are highly responsive, all our questions were thoughtfully answered. We were referred to this law firm, and now I highly recommend using Schwartz and Schwartz for your legal real estate needs.
Scott W.
Great service from David Kelman at Schwartz and Schwartz. He helped us with what we saw as a complicated real estate transaction, but walked us through it all and explained it all clearly (no legal mumbo jumbo) so we knew what we were signing. Felt so relaxed knowing that David had it under control, and he got our deal done and close before the deadline. Thank you David for your responsiveness and professionalism.
Jaclyn M.
Would definitely recommend. Quick and efficient, very helpful and explains things in an easy way to understand, professional with a side of humour! Always felt as though David had out best interest in mind.
Howard W.
Friendly legal firm. Helped me a lot .
John F.
I was given a list of 5 different Realestate Lawyers from my agent.. I left messages for 4 out of the 5 but Schwartz & Schwartz answered the phone.. The reason I chose them is because David Kelman was down to earth, very informative and extremely professional in a friendly way. Him and Diana made the sale of my property so easy. I would highly recommend using them. Schwartz & Schwartz will be my “go-to” firm from now on… Thanks To David and Diana for a smooth deal.. This is a genuine review.. I did not know anyone at this firm before the sale of my property.. I am extremely happy with the service that was provided.. Thank you and God Bless… John Fiore

Frequently Asked Questions


We’ve answered some of the most common questions we receive.

Don’t see yours here? Visit our FAQs for answers to your questions.

Or give us a call, we’re happy to help.

What areas of law does Schwartz & Schwartz practice?

We focus on three core areas: Real Estate Law (residential and commercial transactions, private financing), Business Law (contracts, corporate matters, commercial transactions), and Wills & Estates (estate planning, powers of attorney, estate administration). Our concentrated expertise in these areas allows us to provide in-depth, practical guidance.

How quickly can I expect a response when I contact your office?

We pride ourselves on responsiveness. Whether you call or email, you can expect to hear back from us the same business day, often within a few hours. We understand that legal matters are time-sensitive, and we prioritize clear, timely communication.

Do I need to come to your office for consultations?

While we welcome in-person meetings at our North York office, we also offer virtual consultations via video call for your convenience. We can accommodate your schedule and preferences to make the process as smooth as possible.

How long does a typical real estate transaction take?

Most residential real estate transactions take 4–8 weeks from offer acceptance to closing, though timelines vary based on factors like financing, inspections, and title searches. Commercial transactions may take longer depending on complexity. We keep you informed at every stage and work efficiently to meet your closing date.

What should I bring to my first consultation?

We’re happy to review documents that you email to us, and to consult with you over the phone or by exchange of emails.

For transactions we start with a review of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale. If you want help with your Will or Powers of Attorney, we can send you a questionnaire that will guide you.

For business matters, bring relevant contracts or corporate documents.

Do you handle matters outside of Toronto?

Yes. While we’re based in North York, we serve clients throughout Ontario. We use Teranet technology for real estate transactions province-wide, meaning you can work with us regardless of where your property is located.

What are your fees?

Our fees vary depending on the nature and complexity of your matter. We provide transparent fee estimates upfront and discuss billing arrangements during your initial consultation. For many real estate transactions, we offer flat-rate fees and add the disbursements that we incur on your behalf. We believe in no surprises, you’ll always know what to expect.

Can you help with estate administration after someone passes away?

Absolutely. We guide executors and families through the estate administration process, including probate applications, estate accounting, and asset distribution. We handle the legal complexities with sensitivity during what is often a difficult time.
