Ajay S. Praveen, Barrister & Solicitor, Notary Public
You will understand what is happening
I spent years teaching — first medical students and laboratory staff, later college courses in healthcare leadership and law — before I started practising. Explaining difficult things in plain language is a habit, not an effort. You will leave every conversation knowing where your matter stands, what happens next, and what it will cost.
Your file gets a careful reading
Before law, I trained and practised as a physician, running a hospital transfusion service where a missed detail on a form could hurt someone. I bring the same discipline to a disclosure package, a title search or an immigration refusal letter: read everything, question everything, and build the case on what the documents actually say.
I know what it is like to be on your side of the desk
I came to Canada as a trained professional and requalified from scratch — the National Committee on Accreditation exams, articling, the bar. I have filled in the forms, waited for the decisions and worried about the deadlines. That experience shapes how I treat clients going through immigration, a first home purchase, or a first encounter with the courts.
Fees are clear before the work starts
The firm's tagline — Empowering Justice: Affordable Legal Solutions for All — is the reason it exists. You will get a clear fee quote up front, no surprise charges, and honest advice about whether a step is worth paying for. If I do not think you need a lawyer for something, I will tell you.
You will get a straight answer
Some clients want to hear that their case is a sure thing. I would rather tell you the real strengths and weaknesses at the start, so you can make decisions with your eyes open. That is how a defence gets built and how a bad deal gets avoided.
I am the principal lawyer at AJ Law Professional Corporation in Mississauga, licensed by the Law Society of Ontario. I act for individuals and small businesses across the Greater Toronto Area in criminal defence, real estate, family law and immigration, and I also handle wills, powers of attorney, estates and notarial work.
I am a member of the Criminal Lawyers' Association, a lifetime member of the South Asian Bar Association of Toronto, and a member of the Peel Law Association. Outside the office I speak to groups of internationally educated professionals about navigating a new career in Canada, and I offer notarial and commissioner-of-oaths services free of charge to students marking academic milestones.
