Joseph’s Italian upbringing taught him to work hard and work ethically. Every client he meets, every case he takes, benefits from his diligence and compassion. Joseph doesn’t stop until his clients receive the results they deserve. 

As an Adjunct Professor at Osgoode Hall Law School, Joseph has taught civil litigation and insurance law. He also teaches tort law in the Internationally Trained Lawyers Program of the University of Toronto, Faculty of Law. Joseph’s academic training has served him well in litigating claims and representing his clients. He has a doctoral degree (Ph.D.) in tort and Insurance Law and he has written academic literature on auto insurance law and access to justice.

Joseph believes that when you understand the law, you can better apply it to serve your clients. His commitment to justice and to helping those who have been treated unfairly, drives Joseph to work as long and as hard as it takes to achieve success for his clients. Given his academic background, Joseph is able to develop both sound and novel legal arguments in order to secure fair compensation, a perspective that is often lacking at other firms.  

Joseph completed his LL.B. degree and Master of Laws degree in Civil Litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution in 2004. He earned his Doctoral Degree in 2009. He has led the way in a truly groundbreaking case involving chronic pain.  In his free time, he serves on the Board of Directors of the Brain Injury Society of Toronto and he plays soccer.
