About EI Attorneys
EI Attorneys Legal Services is a small firm based in Toronto, Ontario, with an additional office in Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria. It's managed by Eberechi Ifeonu, a Barrister, Solicitor, and Notary Public in Ontario who also holds standing as a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria. Ifeonu's legal education spans an LL.B from the University of Calabar in Nigeria, an LL.M from the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University, and a Ph.D in Law from the Peter A. Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia.
The firm's practice covers immigration and refugee law, criminal defence, family law, civil litigation, and notary services, along with mental health law work before Ontario's Consent and Capacity Board, where it represents clients in capacity determinations under the Health Care Consent Act, the Mental Health Act, and the Substitute Decisions Act. On the immigration side it handles study and visitor permits, permanent residence and sponsorship applications, investor visa and provincial nominee program matters, and appeals before the Immigration and Refugee Board and the Federal Court. Its dual Ontario and Nigeria bar admissions, paired with offices in both countries, give it a cross border reach that's uncommon for a firm of its size.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The firm's Toronto office is on Finch Avenue West in York University Heights, a North York neighbourhood named for York University's main campus, which sits within its boundaries. It's one of Toronto's more ethnically mixed communities, with sizeable Black Canadian and other immigrant populations alongside longtime residents, a fit for a practice built around immigration, refugee, and mental health law. The Owerri office, in Imo State, Nigeria, lets the firm handle matters and stay in contact with clients on both sides of a cross border immigration file.
