About Concillia Muonde Law Office

Concillia Muonde Law Office is a family law firm in Ottawa's Barrhaven neighbourhood, founded by lawyer Concillia Muonde. Muonde holds a Bachelor of Science in Economics with Honours from the University of Zimbabwe in Harare, a Bachelor of Social Work with Highest Honours and a Master of Social Work from the University of Ottawa, and a Juris Doctor also from the University of Ottawa, and is a barrister and solicitor in Ontario. Before practicing law, Muonde spent over 10 years as the public education coordinator at the Sexual Assault Support Centre of Ottawa, working with survivors of family violence.

The firm handles family law matters, including custody, access, child support, and divorce, along with child protection files involving Ottawa's Children's Aid Society, plus real estate transactions and wills and powers of attorney. It describes its approach as client centred and client directed, and it accepts legal aid certificates. The practice states a particular focus on equitable access to justice for survivors of family violence and for LGBTQ2S+ clients, an emphasis that traces back to Muonde's own description of the legal process as being about relationships and sorting out the issues that happen between people.
