Accepts Legal AidAccepts Legal AidAbout Chanda Law
Chanda Law is a sole practitioner firm in Kitchener, Ontario, led by Arifa Chanda, a barrister, solicitor, and notary public. Family law is the core of the practice: divorce, custody and access, child and spousal support, property division, and child protection, along with domestic contracts like marriage contracts, cohabitation agreements, and separation agreements. The firm also prepares wills and powers of attorney, gives independent legal advice, and offers notary and commissioner services. Arifa Chanda was called to the Ontario Bar in 2016, and before that practised law for eight years in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Pakistan.
The firm serves clients in English, Urdu, and Punjabi, and works with people across Kitchener, Cambridge, Waterloo, and Guelph. It accepts Legal Aid Ontario certificates for family, domestic violence, and child protection matters, and it's on Legal Aid Ontario's panels for those same areas. The office at 290 King Street East, in downtown Kitchener, runs by appointment, and a lot of the work can be handled remotely, including signing wills and powers of attorney by audio-visual technology. The firm also keeps connections with lawyers in Rawalpindi and Islamabad for clients whose cases reach back to Pakistan.

The neighbourhood
Chanda Law keeps a by-appointment office at 290 King Street East, in the core of downtown Kitchener near the Kitchener Market. It works less like a walk-in storefront and more like a meeting point for a practice that reaches clients across Kitchener, Cambridge, Waterloo, and Guelph. A lot of the family and estate work can be done by phone or video, and wills and powers of attorney can be signed remotely by audio-visual technology, so clients who can't easily get downtown still have a way to meet.
The firm works in English, Urdu, and Punjabi, so families who are more comfortable in Urdu or Punjabi can talk through sensitive matters like separation or child protection in their own language. It also keeps connections with lawyers in Rawalpindi and Islamabad for clients whose legal needs reach back to Pakistan.
