Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Golden Maple Law's office is on Sheppard Avenue East in Toronto's Willowdale, part of the North York community council area. Willowdale is one of the most linguistically and ethnically diverse ridings in the country: the most common home languages after English include Mandarin, Persian, Korean, Cantonese and Russian, and the riding has the largest Korean population, at 9.9%, of any federal riding in Canada. For a firm whose entire practice is immigration law, working out of a neighbourhood built on that kind of diversity fits the work.
