Who we are

Our Practice Areas

Immigration and Refugee Law

We are highly equipped to handle immigration and refugee matters. As immigrants ourselves, we understand the anxiety, and in some cases trauma, associated with the entire process of immigrating to Canada, having gone through the same process ourselves. We approach our clients’ matter as if their lives depend on it because they surely do in many instances. Among other things, we help our clients with packaging such applications as Study Permit Visa, Visiting Visa, Permanent Residence, Sponsorship, Investor Visa, and Provincial Nomination Program. We also offer representation either before the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada or the Federal Courts.

Criminal Law

We are criminal defence attorneys. We recognise the exposure to which a person charged with criminal offence faces and we do our utmost best to either eliminate or mitigate such exposure. We defend a wide range of criminal offences including murder and manslaughter.

Family Law

Generally speaking, family law matters present very unique set of challenges. For instance, the process of separation or divorce can be one of the most difficult times in the lives of persons involved. It is for this reason that we handle this genre of matters with the care and expertise that it deserves. We provide representation in all family matters such as Domestic Contracts (Marriage Contracts, Separation & Cohabitation Agreements), divorce, property division, custody and access matters, representation in court, variation hearings, child and spousal support & default hearings, and child protection proceedings

Mental Health Law

Mental health law is a very challenging aspect of law practice, as it lies at the intersection of the protection of the right of vulnerable person – specifically mentally impaired persons – to take decisions concerning their medical treatment, and the assumption of such right by the state following its determination that a person no longer has the capacity to make such decision. A mental impairment could arise from several causes such as dementia, brain injuries, developmental or intellectual disabilities. In Ontario, there are basically three legislations that govern consent and capacity and mental health law: the Health Care Consent Act, the Mental Health Act and the Substitute Decisions Act. A determination by the state that a person lacks the mental capacity to take decision concerning his or her medical treatment often results in legal challenge by the person affect, and this is litigated before the Consent and Capacity Board (CCB). We offer our representation before this Board.

Civil Litigation

We provide qualitative legal services to persons involved in civil claims arising from either contractual obligations or tort. We are experienced in both out-of-court settlement (alternative dispute resolution) and litigation. We are very aggressive in the pursuit of our clients’ claims or defence. Because civil matters are time sensitive due to operation of the Limitation Act, we encourage you to contact us if you believe you have a claim but are not clear whether or not your claim is already statute barred.

Notary Services

We offer the following services: notarization and commissioning of documents under oaths, drafting of affidavits and statutory declarations, and marriage contracts, including cohabitation and prenuptial agreements.
