Accepts Legal AidAbout Kingsley Jesuorobo and Associates
Kingsley Jesuorobo and Associates is a small Toronto law firm that's been operating since February 1996. Its founder, Kingsley Jesuorobo, trained on two continents: a law degree from the University of Benin in Nigeria, then a second one from the University of Toronto. Jesuorobo was called to the bar in Nigeria in 1990 and in Ontario in 1996, and also serves as a Notary Public in the province.
The firm's work centres on immigration, refugee, and citizenship law. It also takes on family law, civil litigation, international law, corporate law, entertainment law, and estates planning and administration. Two other lawyers round out the team. Jerome Olorunpomi practiced law in Nigeria for more than 13 years, in land and property, corporate and commercial, and family matters, before being licensed in Ontario in 2011. Hon. Abdul-Rahman Kadiri is a barrister, solicitor, and notary public who was elected to Nigeria's Federal House of Representatives in the early 1990s and belongs to the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators in London.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The office sits on Finch Avenue West in York University Heights, a North York neighbourhood that has long been popular with immigrant families, including many of Italian and Chinese descent, alongside sizable Black and South Asian communities. That history makes it a fitting base for a practice built mostly around immigration and refugee work.
The area is anchored by York University and Seneca College's Seneca@York campus, and it's well served by transit. Finch West station opened on Line 1 in December 2017, and a second line, Line 6, began running to the same station in December 2025.
