Free consultationAbout J.N. Mukongolo Family Lawyer
J.N. Mukongolo Family Lawyer is a solo family law practice based in Toronto, run by Jane Nasievanda Mukongolo out of an office on Lawrence Avenue East near Yonge Street. Mukongolo has practiced family law since 1999, after starting a career at a downtown Toronto firm working in civil litigation and family law, then opening an independent practice focused solely on family law matters. The firm handles separation, contested and uncontested divorce, decision-making responsibility (formerly called custody), parenting time (formerly access), child and spousal support, and property division, drawing clients from North York, Scarborough, and Toronto.
The practice appears before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto and Brampton, the Ontario Court of Justice in Toronto and North York, and family courts in Newmarket and Oshawa, a spread that reflects a client base reaching well beyond the Toronto office itself. Mukongolo is on the Legal Aid Ontario roster and accepts a limited number of legal aid certificates for qualifying family law matters. Services are offered in English and Swahili, and the firm offers a free 15-minute initial consultation by phone or email before opening a new file.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The office sits on Lawrence Avenue East near Yonge Street, right at the edge of Lawrence Park, a mostly residential part of central Toronto whose shops and services cluster around the Yonge and Lawrence intersection rather than along the surrounding streets. It's a quieter, less commercial stretch of the city than the downtown legal district. Because the practice is a family law litigation firm, its real geography is the courts it appears in: the Superior Court of Justice in Toronto and Brampton, the Ontario Court of Justice in Toronto and North York, plus family courts in Newmarket and Oshawa, which together track the wider GTA area it serves.
