About Hummel Law

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Hummel Law is a small immigration law firm based in Toronto, with a second office in Vaughan. It's led by founder Adam Hummel, who was born in South Africa and came to Canada as a child. Hummel earned a J.D. from the University of Windsor in 2011 and a B.A. (Hons.) in political science and history from York University in 2007, then was called to the Ontario bar in 2012. Before starting the firm, Hummel practiced at a variety of small law firms. The team also includes a legal assistant with more than 25 years of experience in Canadian immigration law.

The practice covers most areas of Canadian immigration law: family and spousal sponsorship, work and study permits, refugee claims and appeals, inadmissibility and criminal rehabilitation, humanitarian and compassionate applications, and citizenship matters. Rather than billing by the hour, Hummel Law uses a value based pricing model. Services are offered both virtually and in person, and the firm has worked with clients from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Philippines. In April 2026, Hummel gave parliamentary testimony on immigration security screening.

The neighbourhood

The firm's Toronto office is at 2 St. Clair Avenue West, an office building put up in 1965 in the Yonge and St. Clair neighbourhood, once known as the Procter and Gamble Building.

The second office is on Dufferin Street in Vaughan, a York Region community the firm describes on its own site as a thriving, diverse one. Having a Vaughan location gives clients north of Toronto a closer option for in person meetings.
