About Cayena Law Professional Corporation
Cayena Law Professional Corporation is a Toronto firm practising family law, estates law, wills and powers of attorney, and notary public services for Ontario and Canada. Founder Claudia Falquez-Warkentin earned a civil law degree in Colombia and a second law degree in common law from the Faculty of Law at the University of Western Ontario, and was called to the Ontario Bar in 1999. Before starting Cayena Law, Falquez-Warkentin was a partner at Davies, Spina Falquez LLP. The firm offers services in English and Spanish.
The firm's name comes from the cayena flower, which the firm describes as vulnerable yet strong, one that has found new beginnings around the world and stays resilient and defiant against the odds. It's a nod the firm draws on to describe both its clients and its own outlook. Cayena Law's office is on Lake Shore Blvd West in Toronto's Humber Bay Shores waterfront community, and the firm charges a fee for its one hour initial consultations.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Cayena Law's office sits in a highrise at 2275 Lake Shore Blvd West, in the Humber Bay Shores waterfront community west of downtown Toronto. The stretch of Lake Shore Boulevard between the Humber River and Park Lawn Road has filled in over the past two decades with condominium towers built along Lake Ontario, and the neighbourhood is known for its lakefront trail, marinas, and skyline views rather than for a legal or courthouse district.
That residential setting fits a practice built around family law, estates, and wills work, the kind of law that tends to meet clients close to home rather than downtown. A bilingual, English and Spanish practice based in a neighbourhood that has drawn new residents from across the city and beyond is a natural fit for the community Cayena Law describes serving.
