About Anser Law Professional Corporation

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Anser Law Professional Corporation is a law firm in Mississauga, Ontario, practising criminal defence, family law, civil litigation, and immigration law. It's led by Anser Farooq, who earned a B.A. (Hons) in anthropology with a minor in psychology from York University, then a law degree from the University of Alberta, and was called to the Ontario bar in 2002. Farooq worked at a downtown Toronto law firm before starting Anser Law, and has since argued cases before the Superior Court, the Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court of Canada.

The firm's work has drawn national attention. In 2008 the Crown stayed terrorism-related charges against one of its clients, one of several people arrested in the 2006 investigation that became known as the Toronto 18. The current team includes lawyers and articling students called to the bar in Ontario, Guyana, and Nigeria, and between them they speak English, Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi, Gujarati, and Yoruba. The office is on Cawthra Road, one of the streets that form the boundary of Applewood, a Mississauga community where more than half the residents are immigrants.
