Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I need help with an administrative tribunal or board?
If you are dealing with an Ontario administrative board, tribunal or agency, the most important step is seeking professional representation early. Administrative law governs the relationship between individuals and government bodies, and these processes can be incredibly complex. Racioppo Giangrande Law assists clients in understanding their options and completing necessary forms accurately. We provide diligent advocacy at boards and tribunals to ensure your voice is heard. Early intervention helps you navigate the system with greater confidence while protecting your rights against unfair government decisions or procedural errors.

What happens during a judicial review or an appeal process in Ontario?
It’s imperative to understand the differences between judicial review and appeal including when each can be pursued to address a problematic decision of a tribunal/board/agency. These processes require a sophisticated understanding of procedure, the applicable law and meticulous attention to details. At Racioppo Giangrande Law, we understand what courts look at, we take time to review the records of the initial proceedings to identify grounds for applications, and assist in drafting these with persuasive legal arguments, and providing representation before the court. Because these matters are time-sensitive and highly technical, having an experienced lawyer is vital to ensuring that your case is presented effectively and professionally.
How does the process for drafting Wills and Powers of Attorney work?
We help you with your estate planning needs and offer customized, sound guidance and advice so you can make the best decision for your unique circumstances. Drafting a Will or Power of Attorney begins with a thorough review of your assets, family structure, and long-term goals. We help you set out your final wishes regarding the distribution of property and designate trusted individuals to make decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. By having these documents drafted by a professional in Ontario, you ensure that your legacy is protected and that your loved ones avoid the stress of unclear instructions. We focus on addressing potential issues today to eliminate challenges for your beneficiaries and executors during estate administration.
Can a lawyer assist with certifying documents or commissioning as a Notary Public?
At Racioppo Giangrande Law we can notarize documents, assist with certifying true copies of original documents, and commission declarations, oaths and affidavits. These services are often required for various legal forms and documents, government applications, or other transactions. We ensure they are properly executed.
