Founded by Laura Setzer, a seasoned lawyer called to the Ontario Bar in 1993, the firm has provided compassionate and fearless representation to vulnerable individuals since 2005.

We are committed to ensuring that every client receives a fair hearing and the protection they are entitled to under Canadian law.

- Refugee Claims: Representing claimants before the Refugee Protection Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB).

- Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) Applications: Assisting individuals who do not fit standard immigration categories but have compelling reasons to remain in Canada.
- Detention Reviews: Advocating for the release of individuals detained by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
