A Powerful Voice When It Matters Most

Legal problems are deeply personal. Behind every file is a family, a future, a reputation, a life in transition. We believe that a successful legal outcome starts with truly understanding your story and standing beside you every step of the way.

Our firm practices family, criminal, immigration, and civil law, united by one guiding principle: we don’t just represent clients – we advocate for people.

Leadership Grounded in Experience and Trust

Rob Dhanu, King’s Counsel brings decades of courtroom experience as a former Federal Crown prosecutor for the Department of Justice and a seasoned criminal defence lawyer. Having appeared at every level of court, including the Supreme Court of Canada, Rob is known for his strategic insight, calm authority, and unshakable commitment to justice. His perspective is frequently sought by leading media outlets such as Global News, CBC, and CKNW reflecting the trust placed in his judgment nationwide.

Uphar K. Dhaliwal also brings decades of experience as a leading lawyer in family law and immigration law (Canada and the United States), as well as a respected mediator. Known for her steady guidance in emotionally and financially complex disputes, Uphar is trusted for her clarity, compassion, and sound judgment. She regularly presents on pressing legal issues and plays an active role on legal committees shaping the future of family and immigration law.

Together, with their dedicated legal team, they bring a rare balance of strength, empathy, strategy and perspective.

A Legal Team With Purpose

We know the law. But more importantly, we take the time to understand who you are, your goals, your concerns, and what’s truly at stake. Every strategy we build is shaped around the real life outcome that matters most to our clients, not just an argument about the law.

Rob and Uphar have assembled a legal team that shares these values: deep listening, rigorous preparation, and fearless advocacy. The result is a firm that speaks with a clear, powerful voice on your behalf.

Advantages of
A CLIENT-CENTRED APPROACH

We want more from the law and so should you. Welcome to a powerful client-centred philosophy that turns our passion for people into advantages for you.

Having criminal, family, immigration, and civil law expertise under one roof gives our clients a real advantage. Legal issues rarely exist in isolation and we understand how one legal problem can have a ripple effect into entirely different areas of law. Our integrated approach allows us to anticipate overlaps, coordinate strategy, and avoid costly missteps. The result is less stress, fewer delays, and more efficient outcomes for you.

Our lawyers bring decades of combined experience from government service, in house corporate roles, and large law firms. We have extensive litigation experience at every level of court, including appeals, and know how to build strong cases with your story. At the same time, we recognize that most matters don’t belong in a courtroom. By focusing on people, priorities, and practical outcomes, we resolve many matters efficiently and strategically, often without trial, saving clients time, cost, and stress.

Too often, legal problems are treated as technical issues rather than human ones. We take a different approach, placing the individual and their story at the centre of every case. Your story is a powerful tool that shapes the narrative, guides strategy, and can define the outcome of your matter. We do not just want to understand where you have been, we want to help you shape where you are going. When meaningful, positive changes are made in a client’s real life, those changes can also powerfully influence how courts view a case. By combining strong advocacy with connections to trusted professionals, we work toward outcomes that create both legal success and lasting change.

Legal cases are rarely won by lawyers alone. They often depend on the insight and expertise of doctors, counsellors, health care professionals, private investigators, and other specialists who understand the realities behind the legal issues. We work closely with a trusted network of professionals who can support you in your real life while also strengthening your legal position. In many cases, their involvement can turn what others may see as a losing case into a winning one. This collaborative approach means you are never on your own when it comes to accessing high quality professional support for both you and your legal matter.

We pride ourselves on clear, consistent communication and on making sure our clients always feel informed and supported. Our legal team works as an extended family, not just colleagues, and we invite our clients to experience the strength of that culture. Open lines of communication are essential, especially when questions arise or urgent issues demand attention. We work hard to ensure you are never left in the dark or feeling alone. This commitment to connection is why the relationships we build with our clients often continue long after a file is closed.

Legal issues often arise unexpectedly and can bring unanticipated expenses at an already stressful time. We understand how financial uncertainty can add pressure to an emotional or urgent legal matter. That is why we offer a range of fee structures, competitive rates, and flexible payment plans designed to work for you. Our goal is to be transparent, practical, and supportive, so cost does not stand in the way of accessing the legal help you need.
