Pace Law Firm seeks to effect positive change in people’s lives by helping them to navigate the legal process in a timely, less stressful, and cost-effective manner that leads to the best results they can find anywhere. History of Pace Law Corp Pace Law Firm traces its roots to 1980 when Al Pace, the founder, started practicing law in the west end of Toronto. He took a courageous and bold step by starting his own firm in 1981. As a young lawyer, he started as a general practitioner, taking on any case where he could help a client. His practice expanded through his dedication and attention to client service, and as a result, the foundation to Pace Law was established. His first foray was litigation and as the practice flourished, his business evolved in the area of personal injury. He was loved by his clients and the demand for his services increased. Today the firm has diversified in many ways. Added to the personal injury portfolio, it has one of the strongest investor immigration practices in Canada. The firm also practices in wills, estates and commercial litigation. Al has always insisted on giving the highest levels of excellence in all areas and disciplines within his firm. Al Pace has always believed that his clients come first. Today, Pace law consists of more than 120 professionals that still dedicate themselves to maintain his original philosophy, that every client matters. This is the guiding principle of Al Pace and the entire organization.
