About Maner Law

Maner Law is a small law firm with offices in Toronto and Waterloo. It works in four areas: criminal law, civil litigation, immigration law, and family law. The practice is run by two lawyers, and the firm's approach is for clients to work directly with their lawyer through each matter rather than being handed off. Its lawyers are licensed to practise in Ontario, and the website says the firm is intended for Ontario residents.

One of the two lawyers, Ashish Manral, has more than 11 years of experience in Canadian immigration law and has appeared before the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada in detention reviews, inadmissibility proceedings, and refugee hearings; that work covers Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs, work and study permits, family sponsorships, and citizenship applications. The other lawyer, Summer Prasetyani, holds an LL.M. from Osgoode Hall Law School and practises civil litigation, criminal defence, and immigration law, with a civil focus on real estate litigation, insurance, property damage, and product liability. Ashish Manral is also licensed in British Columbia and leads Manral Law, a Surrey firm that serves Ontario clients in association with Maner Law.

The neighbourhood

Maner Law's Waterloo office is at 180 Northfield Drive West, in the Waterloo Corporate Campus at the north end of the city. It's a business area rather than a courthouse district, sitting on Northfield Drive West near Conestoga Mall and the University of Waterloo's research and technology park. Because the firm is based in Toronto at First Canadian Place, the Waterloo office works as its point of contact for Waterloo Region, a place to meet closer to home instead of travelling downtown. North Waterloo is easy to reach by car from across the region.
