About Border Solutions Law Group

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Border Solutions Law Group is a small firm with its main office in downtown Vancouver and a second office in Bellingham, Washington. Founded in 2009, it focuses only on matters that touch the Canada-U.S. border: Canadian and U.S. immigration law, and personal injury claims that arise on either side of the line. Its lawyers are licensed in both British Columbia and Washington State, so a client with a claim that spans the border doesn't need to retain a second firm for the U.S. side.

Managing partner W. Mark Belanger has practiced for two decades in civil litigation, immigration, and cross-border injury law, is a member of the Washington State Bar Association and the Law Society of British Columbia, and has written on subrogation and border crossing issues for legal publications including BarTalk. Senior partner Suraj Johal, called to the Washington bar in 2014 and the British Columbia bar in 2015, worked in corporate immigration at PwC and Vialto Partners before joining the firm and now focuses on U.S. work visas and permanent residence. Associate James Hayes is licensed in Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia and speaks English and French, and senior associate Rubina Sidhu, who leads the firm's Canadian immigration practice, speaks English and Punjabi with intermediate Hindi.
