Human Rights Law

Human rights law guarantees the right for individuals to receive equal treatment and prohibits any form of discrimination. It is that area of law that focuses on protecting and promoting the fundamental rights and freedoms of all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstances. Human rights issues can take many forms, but some common examples include discrimination or harassment based on race, gender, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability, amongst others.

Discrimation Legal Cases

Discrimination may arise at different areas of life including at workplace, school, mall or shopping store, place of worship, in a commercial or residential tenancy situation or relationship, in your dealings with the government and its agents, and so on. As a firm, we are here to ensure that all individuals are treated equally under the law. Thus, we are always ready to assist our clients in fighting against discrimination; advocating for social justice; and protecting their basic human rights. This is essentially one of the core values of the firm. We frown strongly upon any form of discrimination, and we are committed to protecting human rights and helping individuals seek justice.

Dr. Ademola represented me so well, gave me good advice, listened to me. I did not have to worry for a second that I was not in a safe hand.

I can’t express how much he really stands out, his professionalism, him looking out for me as his client. I will recommend him over and over again!

MuritonRose is an amazingly fair and honest law firm and offer much more reasonable retainer fees than other law firms out there. Dr. Okeowo’s service and absolute brilliance of knowing the law was my saving grace! Not only did Dr. Okeowo get me the Justice I deserve, but he negotiated a fair settlement for me thus saving me time and money having to go to court.

Rosemary

With the help of Dr. Demola Okeowo, the case was overturned, and the tenant was forced to move out of the property. There I recommend Dr. Demola Okeowo to any landlords who suffer hardships from their tenants.

Currently, I have protected person status in Canada which allow me the same benefits as a Permanent Resident. I was able to resume my studies here in Canada as a domestic student as well as I am now eligible to apply for government funding to complete my studies. Thank you, Dr Demola!!!
