Franklin Law, a Toronto-based employment law firm, has distinguished itself through an innovative flat-fee billing structure and exceptional advocacy for marginalized clients facing workplace issues. Led by principal Ron Franklin, has developed a reputation for strategic creativity and meticulous preparation that has impressed both clients and opposing counsel in employment tribunals across Ontario.
The firm’s approach begins with a comprehensive initial consultation priced at $325, which includes thorough document review before the meeting, an in-depth consultation, and a detailed follow-up report outlining case strengths, weaknesses, and recommended next steps.
This client-centered strategy stands in contrast to traditional hourly billing models common among employment law practices. Clients report that this approach places the focus on achieving optimal resolutions rather than accumulating billable hours.
Franklin Law has successfully represented clients before both the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario and the Ontario Labour Relations Board, with particular success in resolving cases during mediation.
The firm has developed specialized expertise in representing clients from marginalized communities, including racialized individuals and persons with disabilities. This focus has proven particularly valuable in employment and human rights cases where issues of race, disability, gender identity, and faith intersect with workplace disputes.
Former clients note that Franklin’s strategic thinking often produces innovative solutions that surprise opposing counsel and mediators. His thorough analysis and preparation have been cited as key factors in achieving favorable outcomes in complex cases.
Beyond technical legal expertise, clients highlight the firm’s exceptional client service. The practice maintains strong communication throughout legal proceedings and demonstrates sensitivity to the emotional challenges clients face during employment disputes.
In a field where top-tier representation often comes with prohibitive costs, Franklin Law has created an alternative model that balances affordability with high-quality representation. This approach has made sophisticated employment law advocacy accessible to clients who might otherwise struggle to secure effective legal support.
The firm’s commitment to both legal excellence and accessibility reflects an understanding that employment disputes often create significant financial and emotional strain for individuals already navigating difficult circumstances.
