About Bonilla Legal Services
Clients rate this firm highly on Google.
Bonilla Legal Services helps Toronto clients through separation and divorce, child and spousal support, wills and powers of attorney, and Canadian immigration applications. Most of its clients were married outside Canada, and the practice works with people in both English and Spanish.
By 2017 the firm was owned and operated by Edgar Ramos, a barrister, solicitor and notary public licensed in Ontario. Family and immigration law were Ramos's main focus through law school and articling. Ramos holds a J.D. from the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Law and, before that, finished a double major in psychology and criminology at York University summa cum laude.
The office is at 20 Jane Street, Unit G, in Toronto's M6S 3Y2 postal area. Meetings run Monday to Friday by appointment only, and the office is closed on weekends.
Practice areas
Separation agreements, marriage contracts and support
Ramos explains a client's rights and obligations when a relationship ends and helps negotiate a separation agreement, and also drafts marriage contracts or reviews one and gives an opinion on it. On property division the aim is that a paying spouse pays no more than required and a receiving spouse gets no less, and support work includes working out the amounts owed and making sure they're actually paid.

Simple, joint and contested divorce
For a simple or joint divorce, the firm explains the steps, prepares the court forms and has them served and filed, so the client mainly supplies a marriage certificate and waits for the order. When a spouse won't settle, it drafts the documents for case conferences, settlement and trial management conferences, motions and trials, and can act in court throughout the case.
Wills and powers of attorney
Bonilla Legal Services aims to have a client's will and powers of attorney drafted within a few days.
Sponsorship, permits and citizenship
Immigration work covers family sponsorship of a spouse, partner or dependent children, permanent residence and citizenship applications, and study permits, work permits and visitor visas. For spousal sponsorship, the firm stays with the file from start to finish, beginning with an assessment of whether the sponsor meets the basic requirements.

Notary public services in two languages
As a notary, Ramos certifies and commissions documents, notarizes statutory declarations such as those for common-law unions, and handles custodianship declarations for minors studying in Canada, all in either English or Spanish. Authentication and legalization of documents are offered too.
Powers of attorney for Mexico
For Canadian companies, the firm prepares corporate powers of attorney that let directors, CEOs or delegates act for the company in Mexico, working with a Mexican lawyer so the document follows Mexican rules. Individuals living in Ontario who need someone to carry out a notarial act in another country can also grant a general or special power of attorney through the firm.
Good to know
By appointmentHow Bonilla Legal Services works
Ramos commits to completing each client's matter as quickly and inexpensively as possible. In divorce files, the firm's priority is that clients understand how the process works and keep control of the key decisions in their own case.
In the community
- Bonilla Legal Services runs a free online information service on Mexican law for the community, with practising Mexican lawyers offering guidance by email on topics that include civil, family, criminal, labour and administrative law, contracts, appeals and amparo proceedings.
The neighbourhood
The office at 20 Jane Street sits close to where Jane Street meets Bloor Street West, with Bloor West Village, Baby Point, Swansea and Runnymede all nearby. Jane station on Line 2 serves those communities; it opened in 1968 when the line was extended west from Keele to Islington, and elevators added in 2006 made it accessible from street to platform.
Along Bloor, Bloor West Village stretches from South Kingsway to Ellis Park Road with more than 400 shops, restaurants and services, and in fall 2017 the City of Toronto began studying whether to designate it a Heritage Conservation District.
