We are an Immigration and Criminal Law Firm
Located in Vancouver’s historic Gastown neighbourhood
Edelmann & Co. is a progressive law firm that practices immigration, refugee, citizenship, and criminal law. Our specialization is the intersection between these areas. While we prepare both simple and complex applications, our passion is litigation. We represent clients in all levels of immigration and criminal courts.
Immigration and Citizenship
We assist individuals to make applications for temporary and permanent residence status, as well as for Canadian citizenship.
Admissibility Matters & Court Challenges
We assist individuals who are facing allegations of wrongdoing under immigration laws, including inadmissibility and/or the threat of removal. We help to challenge refused and delayed immigration applications, and to argue for release from immigration detention.
Refugees
We assist individuals and families to apply for protection as refugees in Canada or from overseas, and we represent individuals who are at risk of losing their refugee status.
Criminal Matters
We assist individuals facing criminal charges under immigration and criminal laws. We have particular expertise in criminal appeals and cases with transnational aspects, such as extradition and border-related prosecutions.
