Free consultationAbout Althea Mitchell Barrister & Solicitor
Althea Mitchell Barrister & Solicitor is a Toronto based immigration and family law practice serving the Greater Toronto Area, Dufferin County, Peel Region, and other parts of Ontario. The firm's founder, Althea Mitchell, holds a Bachelor of Arts from York University, a Bachelor of Laws from Coventry University in the UK, and a Master of Laws from the University of Southern California's Gould School of Law. Mitchell has more than 20 years in the legal field, starting as a legal assistant at a Bay Street firm before working as a legal research assistant, with the Citizens Advice Bureau, and later at a personal injury law firm in Toronto.
The practice concentrates on immigration matters, including Express Entry, spousal and family class sponsorship, humanitarian and compassionate applications, and business immigration, along with family and divorce law covering separation, parenting arrangements, decision making responsibility, and child and spousal support. Mitchell has said the decision to become a lawyer followed the loss of a close friend in a hit and run collision, with the aim of helping people get justice in their legal matters.

The neighbourhood
The firm's office is in the Yonge Eglinton Centre at 2300 Yonge Street, a mixed use office and retail complex at the corner of Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue in midtown Toronto. The complex is connected by underground tunnel to Eglinton subway station, and a 2016 renovation added several floors and a rooftop patio to the tower. Since the firm's clients come from across the Greater Toronto Area, Dufferin County, and Peel Region rather than just the immediate area, direct subway access gives people travelling in from outside midtown a straightforward way to reach the office.
