Facing a Family Matter
in Pickering?
Protect Your Rights & Your Family.
Pickering sits right where Toronto's Scarborough border meets Durham Region, and that geography means we regularly field questions from residents unsure whether their matter belongs at a Toronto courthouse or the Durham Region Courthouse — it's almost always Durham. Legal Solutions Law Firm represents Pickering families there, with a free consultation and flat fees.

Client Testimonials
What Our Pickering Clients Say
I had a very positive experience with Legal Solutions Law Firm. Ryan represented me in a family court matter and provided excellent guidance and support throughout the entire process. He was professional, knowledgeable, and always took the time to answer my questions and explain everything clearly. Family court matters can be stressful, but Ryan helped make the process much easier and gave me confidence every step of the way. I truly appreciated his dedication, responsiveness, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Legal Solutions Law Firm and Ryan to anyone looking for a compassionate and experienced family lawyer.
We tried to defend ourselves in civil court, but ultimately decided to hire Ryan — and it was the wisest decision we have made in the last two years of hell with our condo managers. Ryan and his team have been exceptional: swift, sharp, on the ball, and always asking the right questions while making the right arguments to move our case forward to the Superior Court.
Ryan did an outstanding job on my case. He was clear, professional, and always kept me informed. Thanks to his hard work, my charges were dropped. I’m very grateful and highly recommend him.
I wish I could add five more stars to show how happy we are with the legal services of Ryan J. Manilla and his team. They took charge of our legal matters, worked tirelessly on short notice, and delivered outstanding legal documents on time. Their teamwork, professionalism, patience, and understanding of our situation gave us tremendous peace of mind. Most importantly, we sleep better at night knowing that we are in good hands, with a legal team that has the expertise and compassion to handle sensitive matters with care.
I had a great experience working with Ryan at Legal Solutions. He is professional, responsive, and very knowledgeable. Any time I had questions, he got back to me quickly and provided practical advice. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.
I was going through anxiety not knowing what to expect with my case. Ryan explained everything simply and stood up for me at my hearing. I’m really thankful for his help!
I had such a stressful time trying to find legal help. I felt lost and hopeless when I got a notice to appear at the LTB. When I found Ryan, he stepped up and defended me. He’s knowledgeable about both the LTB and criminal law, and most importantly he’s tough! Exactly what I was looking for. I’m so glad I found him.
Ryan is a tough lawyer who defended us during a very difficult time. He helped me with a Landlord and Tenant Board issue. People told me to get a paralegal, but the ones I contacted either wouldn’t help or couldn’t communicate well in English. When I found Ryan, he explained the situation clearly and told me what to do. He showed up to the hearing tough and ready to go. I’m so glad I found him!
One of the best. Well poised, smart articulate. Know his stuff and one of the best lawyer out there to work with.

From My Experience: Pickering Families Deserve Local Court Familiarity
Pickering clients sometimes come in confused about basic logistics — which courthouse, which region, which forms — before we've even discussed the substance of their case. That's a normal starting point, not a sign you're behind.
Every courthouse has its own rhythm — the scheduling practices, the judicial expectations, even the informal norms around how disclosure and case conferences are handled. Knowing the Durham Region Courthouse well means we can navigate your matter more efficiently, anticipate procedural issues before they arise, and give you realistic expectations from the outset rather than generic advice that doesn't account for local practice.
If you're facing a family law matter in Pickering, call before assuming you know how the process works. The consultation is free: 416-274-2222.
