Toronto Lawyers – Downtown & North York Offices
Our Law Services has two Toronto offices: downtown at 52 Fort York Boulevard near CityPlace and the waterfront, and in North York at 77 Finch Avenue East, near Yonge Street and Finch subway station. Clients across Toronto can meet us close to home or work, or by phone and video.
Toronto has some of the busiest criminal courts in the country, the Federal Court registry where immigration refusals are challenged, and a condo market with risks of its own. We help Toronto residents with immigration applications and appeals, criminal charges, condo and freehold transactions, and wills and powers of attorney.

Immigration Lawyer in Toronto
Many Immigration and Refugee Board hearings are held by video, and the Board decides the format for each hearing. We prepare clients for Immigration Appeal Division hearings, including sponsorship refusal appeals and removal order appeals. We also respond to procedural fairness letters and seek judicial review of refusals in the Federal Court.
For applications, we handle work permits, study permits, Express Entry and provincial nominee permanent residence, spousal and family sponsorship, and visitor visas. When an application involves a past criminal record, a medical issue or an alleged misrepresentation, we build the strongest possible case and explore options such as temporary resident permits and rehabilitation.

Charges laid by the Toronto Police Service are heard in the Toronto courts. We represent clients charged with impaired driving, assault, theft, fraud, drug and weapons offences, starting with bail and continuing through disclosure, resolution discussions and trial.
For non-citizens, a criminal charge can threaten immigration status. Because we practise both criminal and immigration law, we consider the immigration consequences of every resolution before you accept it.

Toronto courts and tribunals
Toronto criminal charges are heard in the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice in Toronto. Immigration appeals go to the Immigration and Refugee Board, often by video, and refusals can be challenged in the Federal Court. Because we practise criminal and immigration law, one firm can manage both issues together.
Two offices, one team
Our downtown office at Fort York Boulevard serves clients in the core, the waterfront, Liberty Village and the west end. Our North York office at Yonge and Finch serves North York, Willowdale, Thornhill and the northern suburbs.

Downtown at 52 Fort York Blvd, Toronto, ON M5V 4A6, and in North York at 77 Finch Avenue East, Unit #807, North York, ON M2N 6H8. Meetings are by appointment; call (289) 652-0529.
Can you help with an Immigration Appeal Division hearing in Toronto?
Yes. We prepare evidence and submissions and represent clients at Immigration Appeal Division hearings, including appeals of sponsorship refusals and removal orders. Many IRB hearings are held by video, and the Board decides the format for each hearing.
I received a procedural fairness letter from IRCC. What should I do?
Respond before the deadline in the letter, and get legal advice first. Your response is often your only chance to address IRCC's concerns before a decision is made.
My IRCC application has been delayed for a long time. Can a lawyer help?
In some cases, yes. After a reasonable period, an application for a writ of mandamus in the Federal Court can compel IRCC to decide a delayed file. We assess whether your delay qualifies.
Will a criminal charge in Toronto affect my permanent residence?
It can. Some convictions make permanent residents inadmissible for serious criminality. Before you plead guilty or accept a resolution, get advice on the immigration consequences.
What should I check before buying a Toronto condo?
Review the status certificate for special assessments, the reserve fund, pending lawsuits and rules on rentals and pets. Also confirm that parking and locker units are properly included in the purchase. We review these documents before your deal goes firm.
Do you offer a free consultation?
We offer a free 15-minute phone consultation for criminal and immigration matters. Call (289) 652-0529.
