INTENTIONAL TORTS & CIVIL HARASSMENT DIVISION
Overview
Yazdani Law Group (YLG) represents victims of intentional wrongdoing across Ontario (Canada) and California (USA). Unlike traditional personal injury cases that arise from negligence, intentional torts involve deliberate, reckless, or malicious conduct — often with parallel criminal elements.
These cases demand a sophisticated approach that combines:
- Strategic civil litigation
- Understanding of criminal procedure
- Evidence coordination with police and prosecutors
- Trauma-informed client management
- Aggressive pursuit of punitive and aggravated damages
YLG is uniquely positioned to handle these cases due to our cross-border litigation experience, multilingual practice (English, Farsi, Spanish), and deep understanding of cultural dynamics within immigrant communities.
If someone has assaulted, threatened, defrauded, harassed, abused, or intentionally harmed you, we are here to protect you and hold them accountable.

Civil + Criminal Strategy: Our Unique Advantage
Many intentional tort cases carry criminal consequences. Most law firms handle either the civil claim or the criminal process — but not both. YLG handles both in parallel, offering an integrated strategy:
✔ Criminal Process (Victim Representation)
- Preparing police statements
- Attending criminal hearings with the client
- Liaising with prosecutors
- Ensuring victim’s rights are protected
- Supporting applications for restitution
- Ensuring bail conditions protect the client
✔ Civil Lawsuit (Contingency Fee)
- Suing for damages in tort
- Seeking punitive, aggravated, and emotional distress damages
- Obtaining civil restraining orders
- Negotiating settlements with criminal leverage
- Filing urgent injunctions when necessary
Our Process: What Clients Can Expect
