About Nzemeke Law PC

Nzemeke Law Professional Corporation is a Toronto family and immigration law firm with its office among the towers on Bay Street in the downtown core. Founder Joe Nzemeke has been licensed to practice law since 2011, first as a member of the Nigerian Bar, and was called to the Bar of Ontario in 2017. That background across two jurisdictions shapes a practice that serves clients from Toronto and across the wider Greater Toronto Area.

On the family law side, the firm handles divorce and separation, parenting arrangements, child and spousal support, division of property, and domestic contracts such as marriage, cohabitation, and separation agreements. It also prepares foreign divorce opinion letters, a document some clients need to confirm that a divorce obtained outside Canada will be recognized here. Its immigration practice covers family sponsorship, permanent residence applications, work and study permits, refugee claims, and appeals. The firm is on the Legal Aid Ontario roster for family and child protection matters and can serve clients in English and Pidgin.

The neighbourhood

Nzemeke Law's office is in a highrise at 401 Bay Street in downtown Toronto. Family and immigration matters usually call for a private, scheduled conversation rather than a walk-in visit, and the firm runs its practice by appointment, Monday to Friday, out of that downtown office rather than a storefront location, serving clients from across Toronto and the wider GTA who come downtown for their appointment.
