About The Law Office of Sandra M. González Ponce

The Law Office of Sandra M. González Ponce, operating as Gonzalez Law, is a solo Toronto practice with an office at 18 King St. E. in the city's downtown core, open to clients by appointment only. Founder Sandra M. González Ponce focuses the practice on three areas: refugee and immigration law, child protection matters, and social justice advocacy and research. The firm describes its work as trauma-informed and anti-racist, and it operates in English and Spanish.

González Ponce came to law after more than two decades of community development work, including neighbourhood revitalization in Toronto's inner city, work in Mexican shanty-towns, and a UN-Habitat assignment researching and documenting the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. That documentary work continues through the firm's social justice advocacy and research practice, which pairs legal work with documentary photography used to tell people's stories, raise awareness, and promote social change. Credentials include a law degree from the University of Windsor, a certificate in International Human Rights Law from the University of Oxford's New College, and a master's degree in International Development from the University of Guelph.
