Alexei Goudimenko Law

About Alexei Goudimenko Law

Alexei Goudimenko Law is a solo practice run by lawyer Alexei Goudimenko, who works in family law, immigration and refugee law, and criminal defence, and takes on other legal matters as they come in. The firm's primary office is registered in St. Catharines, in the Niagara region, and the firm also lists a meetings office in Mississauga for Greater Toronto Area clients. The practice describes its service area as Niagara, Halton, Peel, and Toronto.

Goudimenko's academic path is unusual for a Canadian lawyer. Before law school, Goudimenko earned a Bachelor of Arts in English and French from Minsk State Linguistics University in Belarus, a Master of Arts in International Relations from Syracuse University in the United States, and completed graduate studies at Florida International University. Goudimenko then earned a Juris Doctor from Osgoode Hall Law School at York University. That linguistic background carries into the practice: Goudimenko is fluent in English, Russian, French, Polish, Belarusian, and Spanish, and has working knowledge of several more languages, a useful range for immigration and refugee clients who often need to describe their situation in a first language.
