Toronto personal injury lawyer Jeremy Diamond must not practise law for three months and has been fined $100,000 after being found guilty of professional misconduct for misleading advertising, according to an order made by a Law Society disciplinary panel.
Diamond is the face of the firm Diamond & Diamond, known across the country for billboards, TV and radio spots boasting “nothing is tougher than a diamond.”
In a March 29 decision, the panel ordered Diamond not to practise law or provide legal services for three months starting April 28, 2023. The Law Society Tribunal is an independent adjudicative body that hears and decides regulatory cases between the Law Society and Ontario lawyers and paralegals “in a manner that is far, just and in the public interest.”
During that three-month period, Diamond must comply “as if suspended,” under some, but not all, of the Law Society’s guidelines for lawyers who are suspended. Reached by the Star, his lead lawyer, Brian Greenspan, emphasized Friday the penalty imposed on Diamond is not a suspension. “It is an order that does not affect or impact the operation of Diamond & Diamond nor of its 65 lawyers across the country. It only requires that Jeremy Diamond not personally attend at his office or personally take on new clients or personally provide legal advice for three months.
