Personal

  • I do not think knock-knock jokes are funny at all, especially kids’ made up knock-knock jokes. For example, Knock-knock; who is there? the Grinch; the Grinch who? The Grinch who stole Christmas… hahaha… really? There is absolutely nothing knock-knock about this joke. Okay, try this one: Knock-knock. Who is there? Tissue. Tissue who? Tissue pass me the salt. Honestly, please, where is the joke in this?
  • I am an avid camper (context-once in the past 2 years). I make a killer campfire.  But, I am not too passionate about smores, why seriously….eew.

“Effective representation with zealous pursuit. Amazing energy and presence. Clear and concise. Gave me faith, helped me to feel self assured. My Daughter and I are eternally thankful.”

Mission

Concillia Muonde Law Office is based in Ottawa, Ontario with the objective to facilitate equitable access to justice for families, particularly for survivors of family violence, and LGBTQQ members of the community.

Because of the stigma attached to family violence, navigating the family law system can be a challenging experience for survivors. Concillia’s experience working with survivors of violence for over 10 years has given her the awareness and sensitivity necessary to help survivors with their family law matters.

While anyone can face legal problems, LGBTQQ identities impact upon access to justice. Concillia believes in justice for all. Therefore, she engages in a client centred practice approach that puts the client’s LGBTQQ identity at the forefront.
