Damien Frost & Associates LLP
Damien Frost & Associates LLP is a Toronto firm whose core work is defending regulated professionals. It handles College complaints and investigations, written responses to the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee (ICRC), discipline and fitness to practise hearings, Health Professions Appeal and Review Board (HPARB) reviews, registration and good character matters, and judicial reviews. Its health care practice spans audiologists, chiropractors, dental hygienists, naturopaths, nurses, opticians, optometrists, pharmacists, physiotherapists, massage therapists, psychotherapists and more.
The firm also takes white collar and insurance fraud files, which matters when a College complaint and an insurer or police investigation grow out of the same facts. Partners Rebecca Young and Daniel Libman lead the work, and both are named in client reviews. The office is paperless and serves clients across Ontario, and the first consultation of 30 minutes is free. The team will also check whether your liability insurance covers the fees.
