About Bytown Law

Bytown Law is a solo law practice in Ottawa, and it's run out of an office on Cooper Street in the city's Centretown neighbourhood. The lawyer behind it, Joshua Chmielewski, focuses on family and divorce law, along with wills, estates and trusts, immigration, and civil litigation, and the firm says every file is handled personally rather than passed off to a larger team.

Chmielewski holds an Honours B.A. from Mount Allison University and a dual J.D./LL.L. from the University of Ottawa, and practices law in both English and French. The name Bytown recalls what Ottawa was called before it was incorporated as a city in 1855, a fitting reference for a practice based in the capital's older downtown core.

Consultations can be booked online, and the firm serves the wider Ottawa region, including Kanata, Orleans, Barrhaven and Westboro, not just the downtown core.
