MY BACKGROUND & PERSONAL NOTE
I am a Tort/ Personal Injury lawyer practicing in Mississauga and Greater Toronto. I focus on plaintiff's slip/trip & fall injury, dog bite attack injury and premises/municipal liability cases. I have a passion for injured plaintiff's trial advocacy.
I studied law at the Osgoode Hall Law School, York U, Toronto to graduate with a Juris Doctor (J.D) in 2011. I was called to the Bar in June, 2012 by the Law Society of Ontario. In the same year, I founded Hannan Hannan Barristers (HHB). With a focused practice and a non-stop pursuit of excellence, I passionately help plaintiffs in premises liability and dog bite cases against all the odds, whether small or big.
When I am not lawyering, I spend time with my family. I believe and pray to Allah (Arabic for God). I read anything and everything. I write on a range of topics from religion to black holes.
