Martel Law Office

About Martel Law Office

Martel Law Office is a sole practitioner firm in Ottawa run by Alexandre Martel, a bilingual barrister, solicitor, and notary public who holds an LL.L. and a J.D. The office is on Montreal Road and handles family law, employment law, civil litigation, landlord and tenant disputes, wills and estate planning, and immigration and refugee matters. Martel has appeared before the Court of Appeal for Ontario, the Superior Court of Justice, the Ontario Court of Justice, the Federal Court of Canada, and the Federal Court of Appeal, as well as before administrative bodies including the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, the Ontario Labour Relations Board, the Landlord and Tenant Board, the WSIB, and the Immigration and Refugee Board, including its Refugee Protection Division and Immigration Appeal Division.

The firm has a formal collaboration agreement with lawyer Francois Kabemba, meant to keep client files moving if something unexpected happens, and it uses law clerks to help manage cases day to day. Fees are billed hourly for complex matters, with fixed fees offered for more routine work such as wills and powers of attorney, and the firm provides detailed invoices at each stage of a file.
