JOHN D'AGOSTINO
B.A., LL.B., J.D.
OWNER/MANAGING PARTNER

Born and raised in North Bay, John D’Agostino brings a unique, practical perspective to his legal practice. Before entering the courtroom or the boardroom, he spent years working within his family’s new home construction business. It was there that he learned the "nuts and bolts" of operating a family-owned enterprise—an experience that continues to inform his pragmatic approach to corporate and commercial law.

John’s academic journey began at Laurentian University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Political Science in 1987. He went on to pursue his legal education at the University of Windsor, graduating with a Bachelor of Laws in 1990, followed by a Juris Doctor from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law in 1992. That same year, he was admitted to the Ontario Bar and began his career as an articling student with the Toronto-based firm Loopstra Nixon and McLeish.

After establishing a robust foundation in corporate commercial and real estate law in Toronto, John and his wife, Cindie, chose to return home to North Bay in 1997 to raise their young family. Today, John’s practice is deeply rooted in the community, specializing in Business Mergers, Acquisitions, and Divestitures, as well as Corporate Financings and Reorganizations. His expertise further extends to Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Real Estate, Not-for-Profit and Charities Law, and the sensitive areas of Wills, Estates, and Trusts.

RANDEE GRECO
B.A., M.A., LL.B.
ASSOCIATE LAWYER

Randee Greco began her legal career at the Department of Justice in Ottawa, where she articled and practiced following her call to the Bar in 2009. Her tenure with the federal government provided her with invaluable insight into the complex mechanics of government program operations—a background that now enhances her strategic approach to private practice.

Randee’s academic foundation is extensive, beginning with an Honours Bachelor of Arts from Carleton University in 2002, followed by a Master of Arts from Saint Paul University in 2005. She completed her legal studies at the University of Ottawa, earning her Bachelor of Laws in 2008.

Currently, Randee’s practice is focused on a broad range of Corporate and Commercial Law, including business mergers and acquisitions, corporate reorganizations, and incorporations. She is also highly experienced in Residential and Commercial Real Estate transactions and commercial leasing. In addition to her business-focused work, Randee assists clients with the essential matters of Wills and Powers of Attorney.

An active member of the legal community, Randee belongs to both the Nipissing Law Association and the Canadian Bar Association. When she is not in the office, she makes the most of the North Bay area, enjoying the great outdoors and spending quality time with her family.

DANIELLE BROOKS
B.A., J.D.
ASSOCIATE LAWYER

Danielle Brooks joined D’Agostino & Associates immediately following her call to the Ontario Bar in 2013 and has been a vital part of the firm ever since. A graduate of the Faculty of Law at Queen’s University, Danielle brings a dedicated and detail-oriented approach to a wide range of personal and commercial legal matters. While attending Queen’s Law, she received course prizes in Real Estate and Wills & Estates for achieving the highest academic standing in both subjects.

Her diverse practice is centered on residential and commercial real estate including land use planning and development, complex financing transactions and business sales and acquisitions. Danielle also provides compassionate and comprehensive guidance in Estate Planning and Administration, specializing in the preparation of Wills and Powers of Attorney to help clients secure their family’s future.

Beyond her legal practice, Danielle is deeply committed to the health and well-being of the North Bay community. She currently serves as the Chair of the Board of Trustees for the North Bay Regional Health Centre Foundation and is also the Chair of the Foundation's Gift Planning Committee.

Having grown up in Corbeil, Danielle remains a local at heart. She continues to enjoy the quiet beauty of the country life, though she is just as likely to be found at the rink—trading her legal briefcase for a hockey stick and enjoying the view from center ice.
