Areas of Appeals Expertise
Allan Rouben has experience in a variety of appeals to the Superior Court of Justice, the Ontario Court of Appeal, the Supreme Court of Canada and the Federal Court of Appeal. Types of Appeals, allan can assist you with:
- Family law appeals such as custody, access, property and support cases.
- Commercial Law appeals such as shareholder disputes, partnership disputes and contract cases.
- Personal injury law appeals such as car accidents, slip and fall, medical malpractice and professional liability.
- Judicial Review applications covering appeals and reviews of boards and tribunals.

A note on judicial review: While an appeal challenges a court’s verdict, judicial review challenges the decisions of administrative boards and tribunals — such as immigration, licensing, or labour boards. These are distinct processes, and Allan Rouben handles both.
Important: Appeal deadlines in Ontario are strict. In most cases, a Notice of Appeal must be filed within 30 days of the decision you are challenging — and missing that deadline can forfeit your right to appeal entirely. If you believe you have grounds for an appeal, contact Allan Rouben as soon as possible to protect your options.
