Asha Walker
Paralegal
Tel: (647) 256-3611
Asha’s interest in law was sparked in high school when she joined the LAWS (Law in Action Within Schools) program. She graduated from Centennial College’s Post-Graduate Paralegal program with honours in 2023, and became a licensed Paralegal in 2024. Wanting to help increase access to justice, Asha enrolled in LSO’s new Family Legal Services Provider program, which allows Paralegals to practice family law.
