We give a voice to the silenced.

We fight for your livelihood.
We bring a timely resolution.

Termination Review

If you have been terminated UNDER ANY circumstances

DO NOT SIGN A RELEASE

Talk to us first. We will review your situation.

Employers often fail to provide the proper severance compensation.

In almost every case, we will obtain a significantly better outcome for our clients — in a timely manner.

Start The Process Here

Bullying, Harassment, and Human Rights Violations

Have you been subjected to an intolerable work environment?

As a result of your:

Age, Race, Religious Beliefs, Colour, Gender, Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, Physical Disability, Mental Disability, Ancestry or Marital Status

Or because of workplace:

Bullying, Harassment or any other form of Discrimination

We Can Help You Now

Self-Regulated Professional Representation

Disciplined by a professional regulatory body?

We have the expertise to properly defend you.

Flexible Fee Arrangements

BEWARE of firms that push for contingency arrangements

IE: working for “no money up front”

This may NOT be beneficial for you. In some cases it may be much better for you pay hourly for an action with high monetary return — keeping much more in your pocket.

If it’s free YOU could be the product! At Taylor Janis we give you the CHOICE.

Substantial and unilateral change to your employment contract

Have you experienced a change to your employment contract?

Written OR Unwritten

If an employer makes significant changes to your terms and conditions of employment, without consent, you have legal recourse for such changes.

This can include changes to pay, hours, or duties.

  • Sofiya Testimonial

Sofiya Japanwala

Taylor Janis Client

I was fired after my employer learned I was pregnant.

I hired Jon Dowhaluk. He helped me stand up for my rights so I could focus on my pregnancy.

He looked at my situation carefully, gave me great advice, and helped me get a good result.

I want to thank Jon and Taylor Janis.”
