About Heng Law Firm
Clients rate this firm highly on Google.
H. Law Firm is a small Mandarin and English language firm based in Markham, Ontario, in the Woodbine and Steeles area on the Markham-Toronto boundary. Its principal lawyer, Miao He, was called to the bar in China in 2009 and practiced litigation there before earning a Master of Laws from York University and being licensed by the Law Society of Ontario. That background, more than 15 years across the two legal systems, shapes a practice built around clients whose lives or property cross the Canada-China border.
The firm handles family law, including divorce, separation, child custody and support, property division, and prenuptial and cohabitation agreements, and it offers mediation and arbitration as alternatives to court litigation. Its real estate practice covers home purchases and sales, mortgage and refinancing transactions, property transfers, and pre-construction condo closings. It also takes on civil and commercial litigation and Small Claims Court matters up to $50,000. The dual licensing carries into cross border work too, including Hague Service of Process filings and service as an expert witness on Chinese family law in Ontario proceedings.

Good to know
Wheelchair accessibleWho handles what
The neighbourhood
The firm's office sits in the Woodbine and Steeles area, right on the boundary between Markham and Toronto. It's a part of the region with a large Chinese Canadian population: in the 2021 census, Chinese was the most commonly reported ethnic background in Markham, and Mandarin was the first language of over 40,000 residents. A firm that operates in Mandarin and English, and that keeps a license to practice in China alongside Ontario, fits that setting rather than serving it from the outside.
