About Tanvir Ahmed Law Office
Tanvir Ahmed Law Office is a solo criminal defence, immigration, and family law practice based in Scarborough, Ontario. The firm is run by Tanvir Ahmed, a Barrister and Solicitor and member of the Law Society of Ontario. Before turning to law, Ahmed spent more than 11 years as a corporate lawyer with the National Development Finance Corporation, a public sector finance institution, then worked for two decades as an immigration consultant and as an accredited interpreter for the Immigration and Refugee Board and Ontario's Ministry of the Attorney General.
That background carries into the practice today. The firm handles criminal matters from bail hearings and peace bonds through trials and appeals, immigration files ranging from permanent residency and work or study permits to refugee claims and citizenship applications, and family law work covering divorce, custody, support, and property division. It also prepares wills and powers of attorney and offers notary services. Legal Aid Ontario lists Ahmed as accepting certificates for criminal and refugee matters. Services are available in English, Urdu, Punjabi, and Pashto, languages built up over years of immigration consulting and court interpreting work.

Good to know
By appointmentWho handles what
The neighbourhood
Tanvir Ahmed Law Office works out of a multi tenant business building on Milner Business Court in Scarborough, a serviced office complex rather than a street level storefront practice. The building sits east of downtown Toronto, which gives the firm reach across the Greater Toronto Area rather than just its immediate block.
Scarborough itself is one of the more ethnically diverse parts of Toronto, home to large South Asian, Chinese, and other immigrant communities. Ahmed's own path, spending two decades as an immigration consultant and accredited court interpreter before becoming a lawyer, and now offering services in Urdu, Punjabi, and Pashto alongside English, fits that setting rather than being an add on.
