Founded in 1991 under the leadership of Jacqueline Lewis, Lewis & Associates LLP stands as a boutique immigration and refugee law practice serving international clients for over 33 years. The firm has earned recognition for its unwavering commitment to providing personalized legal representation and meticulous attention to each client’s distinct needs.
Ms. Lewis has devoted her legal practice to ensuring clients receive unparalleled service throughout their immigration matters. Initially practicing family law, she later directed a high-volume refugee law department with more than 30 legal professionals and articling students. Her accomplished history features successful Federal Court appeals, Permanent Resident applications based on Humanitarian and Compassionate considerations, Pre-Removal Risk Assessment proceedings, and direct representation of over 3,000 clients before the Immigration and Refugee Board.
The firm’s legal professionals manage more refugee claims and appeals than any other practice across the nation. The immigration practice area encompasses all types of immigration matters, backed by more than 15 dedicated lawyers focused on achieving successful results.
With practitioners bringing more than a decade of experience, others with over a quarter-century, and some with more than three decades, alongside talented newer attorneys, the firm delivers an exceptional breadth of knowledge and professional capability.
On June 1st, responding to increased client demand and acknowledging the remarkable talent and support provided by team members, the practice transitioned to an LLP partnership model. Partners Ariel, Vakkas, Carla, and Adam joined with great pride and anticipation, enhancing the firm’s ability to serve all client requirements effectively.
