Camara Law Firm is a solo criminal defence and civil litigation practice in Toronto, led by lawyer Salematou Camara, who holds an LL.L. and a J.D. The practice represents clients across Toronto, the Greater Toronto Area and beyond, and offers services in both English and French. Alongside courtroom work, the firm drafts, reviews and negotiates contracts for individuals and small businesses, from personal loans to independent contractor agreements, and accepts Legal Aid Ontario certificates for eligible clients.
Camara is a member of the Law Society of Ontario and the New York State Bar, as well as the Criminal Lawyers' Association, the Canadian Association of Black Lawyers and Women in Canadian Criminal Defence. The criminal defence work covers bail hearings, impaired driving, assault, drug and sexual offence charges, and matters under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, and includes meetings with clients held in custody at detention centres across Toronto and the GTA. On the civil side, the firm takes on neighbour, contractor and leasing disputes in both Small Claims Court and Superior Court, negotiating a settlement when possible and litigating when it isn't. New clients can book a free 15 minute consultation by phone or video call.

Legal aidWho handles what
The neighbourhood
Camara Law Firm is based in Toronto and represents clients from across the city and the wider GTA rather than a single neighbourhood. For people facing criminal charges, the firm meets clients held in custody at detention centres across Toronto and the GTA, and for everyone else it offers consultations by phone or video call, including Skype, Google Duo and Zoom, so distance from downtown isn't a barrier to getting advice.
That same reach shows up in the firm's bilingual practice: services are offered in both English and French, with a dedicated French language page for francophone clients in and around Toronto.
