Howard Ian Markowitz

Wrongfully dismissed himself, Toronto lawyer Howard Markowitz (B.Com, Juris Doctor) recalls his own anger, uncertainty, and frustration at employer's unlawful withholding of fair severance pay.

Now recognized as one of "Toronto's leading employment law firms" by Lexpert/Thomson/Reuters news - I restrict my employment law practice specifically to maximum fair termination pay recovery for the wrongfully dismissed.

Prosecutor of more than 3000+ lawsuits, this is my 3rd decade providing aggressive fixed-fee representation of wrongfully-dismissed employees for maximum fair se verance pay.

Referred by lawyers, this firm has expanded to serve more wrongfully dismissed employees with new/novel lawsuits - particularly in the areas of alleged misconduct, theft, fraud, against larger corporations, banks, law firms, and government - which we'll then prosecute through trial (if necessary) at no upfront cost.

Ranked Canada's #1 best employment lawyer by client reviews since October 2018 (lawyerratingz.com, out of 200+ rated). Howard averages 50 contested trials per year, for which he was called a "heavy-hitting do-gooder" in the November 2017 issue of MacLeans Magazine. In September 2017, two-thirds of the Canadian National Journal of Human Resource Management's “notable cases” were personally litigated by Howard Markowitz himself – including leading cases in the area of probationary rights and Employment Standards Act termination agreements.
