Strategic immigration
counsel for lawyers who
need answers now.
Lawyers and licensed professionals across Canada and the US regularly turn to Evelyn Ackah for guidance on complex immigration questions, crossover legal issues, and the realities of running a successful practice. Expert Access is the structured way to access that expertise.
Built for professionals
who work alongside immigration.
Expert Access sessions are reserved for lawyers and licensed professionals — not immigration clients. If you are navigating a situation where immigration intersects with your practice area, or you need experienced perspective to advise your own clients, this is for you.
Canadian immigration lawyers
Provincial immigration programs vary significantly. If you practise in Ontario but need guidance on Alberta or BC PNPs, or want a seasoned second opinion on a complex file, Evelyn has seen it all.
Registered Immigration Consultants
Licensed consultants handling situations that have moved beyond the straightforward — questions on strategy, edge cases, or navigating unusual circumstances — benefit from 25+ years of experience.
Criminal and family lawyers
Your client's immigration status is at stake and you need to understand the exposure quickly. Expert Access gives you direct access to immigration counsel without pulling your client into a formal retainer.
Employment and corporate counsel
Work permits, LMIA implications, inter-company transfers, and the immigration pieces of corporate restructuring. Get the guidance you need when immigration appears in files outside your core expertise.
Lawyers building their practice
Evelyn has run Ackah Law for over 16 years — navigating technology, scaling, staffing, client management, and business development. If you want a frank, experienced conversation about how to build, this is for you.
US attorneys with Canadian questions
Cross-border matters — TN visas, CUSMA work permits, business immigration between the US and Canada — require someone who genuinely understands both sides. Evelyn's practice spans both jurisdictions.
Your clients deserve
the right answer,
not your best guess.
"I end up talking to other lawyers for free all the time. It's a lot of giving away knowledge I've spent 25 years building."
— Evelyn Ackah
Every year, dozens of lawyers reach out to Evelyn after conferences, through referrals, and via LinkedIn — asking questions they can't easily answer for their own clients. A criminal lawyer whose client faces deportation. A family lawyer unsure how a separation affects a spousal sponsorship.
These conversations used to happen informally, at no charge. Expert Access formalizes them — so Evelyn can show up fully prepared, give you dedicated time, and provide the focused strategic guidance the situation deserves.
It also means your clients get a real answer, not a hedged one.
- Immigration law moves fast — what applies in one province or practice context may not apply in another. Get specific guidance for your specific situation.
- You've already done the intake. You understand the client. What you need is experienced perspective on the immigration dimension — not another referral.
- A one-session conversation can save weeks of uncertainty, an error in advice, or an outcome that damages your client's case and your relationship with them.
- If the file needs formal co-counsel or referral to Ackah Law, you'll know that clearly — and you'll have a relationship in place to make it happen.
- Availability is intentionally limited. Three sessions per week means Evelyn comes prepared and gives each session her full attention.

Over the years, Evelyn has become a trusted resource for other legal professionals. Criminal defence lawyers, family law lawyers, employment counsel, and US-based attorneys regularly reach out when their files have an immigration dimension they aren't equipped to handle alone.
