About Althea Mitchell Barrister & Solicitor

Althea Mitchell Barrister & Solicitor is an immigration and family law practice for people hoping to live, work or study in Canada, and for clients facing family and divorce matters. Its immigration work covers Express Entry for skilled workers, spousal and family sponsorship, humanitarian and compassionate (H&C) applications, and business immigration for entrepreneurs and investors.

Althea Mitchell, an internationally trained lawyer, leads the practice and has more than 20 years in the legal industry. That experience includes recent work at a personal injury firm in Toronto, time with the Citizens Advice Bureau helping clients with legal disputes of every kind, and a start as a legal assistant at a Bay Street firm, after which came work as a legal research assistant.

Althea Mitchell's law degrees are a Bachelor of Laws from Coventry University in the UK and a Master of Laws from the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, on top of a Bachelor of Arts from York University. The path to law began young: losing a very close friend in a hit and run brought a vow to become a lawyer and help people find justice.

The office is in Suite 1600 at 2300 Yonge Street in Toronto, and the firm serves the Greater Toronto Area, Dufferin County, Peel Region and nearby parts of Ontario. A first consultation is free.
