Meet Eli Antel

Eli’s passion has always been helping people solve the problems they face.  That’s why after getting called to the Ontario Bar in 2006, he left the large Bay Street firm where his work was dedicated to assisting big corps to focus his practice on individuals, be it helping protect assets with marriage contracts, buying or selling a property, navigating the rough waters of a divorce or ultimately ensuring that assets acquired over a lifetime are properly passed down to next generations.

Eli loves spending time with his wife, dog and two daughters. Eli also is, unfortunately a long-suffering fan of Chicago Bears football.

“Working with Eli at ESA was hands-down the best part of my home buying experience. Highly recommended if you want someone you can trust. He was responsive and explained every step clearly in plain English. The closing went exactly as planned and I felt well protected throughout the process. Truly professional and worth every penny. … A special shout out to Manon who works with Eli. She was incredibly helpful as well.”

“Eli helped my fiancé and I close on our very first home. From our first conversation with him, we felt so comfortable. He was so helpful in guiding us through the process, made us laugh and feel at ease in stressful moments, and was upfront and transparent about what we could expect cost wise. If/when we need a lawyer again, Eli will be the one we call :) highly recommend!”

“Eli supported me during a spousal buyout and title transfer. He was gracious with his time answering my questions and very prompt in his responses. I was under some strict timelines and he went above and beyond to ensure that these were met. Appreciate his help!”
