About Kissoon and Associates

Kissoon and Associates is a small Etobicoke law firm founded in May 2000 by Dhaman Kissoon, who has practiced in the community since 1992 after starting out on Bay Street. Kissoon holds law degrees from the University of Kent in Canterbury, England, and from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, and has taught as an adjunct professor at Queen's University's Faculty of Law for more than 30 years. Kissoon's own practice at the firm stays limited to two areas: criminal defence and immigration law. On the criminal side, the firm's website describes handling matters that range from impaired driving and theft to assault, drug offences, and more serious charges. The immigration side covers spousal and family sponsorships, citizenship applications and appeals, and admissibility hearings.

An associate at the firm practices separately in real estate and corporate and commercial law, so clients with property or business matters can be served at the same office even though Kissoon's own docket stays focused on criminal and immigration files. The firm's site also features articles noting Kissoon's recognition as a Rotary club's Citizen of the Year, coverage of a Canadian prime minister acknowledging the contributions of Kissoon, a Guyana born law professor, and Queen's Law's own coverage of diversity in the legal profession.
