Biography
Dr. Kataria holds a Ph.D. in Law, bringing a rare combination of scholarly depth and real-world advocacy to every matter she handles. She understands that legal issues are often complex and stressful, and she is dedicated to guiding clients with professionalism, integrity, and compassion at each step.
Dr. Kataria practises independently at Pallavi Law Office and has a long standing working relationship with SAAB Immigration Services Inc. Where a matter falls outside the scope of practice of an RCIC, she takes it over seamlessly, and we continue to work the immigration side of the file alongside her. It is a rare combination: an experienced RCIC and a lawyer on the same case. Her practice centres on immigration and the litigation that surrounds it:
- Immigration Law, temporary and permanent residence applications, sponsorships, work permits, study permits, citizenship, and immigration appeals for individuals, families, and businesses.
- Judicial Review (Federal Court), challenging unreasonable or unfair refusals of visas, permits, and PR applications where a matter has gone beyond what a consultant can pursue. As a licensed lawyer, Dr. Kataria can take these cases to the Federal Court on behalf of clients we refer to her.
- Refugee & Asylum Claims, representing claimants before the Refugee Protection Division and Refugee Appeal Division with care and rigour.
Alongside her immigration and litigation work, Dr. Kataria maintains a broader legal practice in Family Law (divorce, separation, parenting arrangements, child and spousal support, property division, and domestic agreements), Criminal Law (defending clients while protecting their rights and advocating for the best possible outcome), and Real Estate Law (residential purchases, sales, refinancing, title transfers, and related documentation). She also serves as a Notary Public, providing commissioning of affidavits, certification of true copies, statutory declarations, and other notarial services.
At the core of her work is a commitment to personalized legal service tailored to each client’s circumstances, clear communication, thorough preparation, and practical advice that leaves clients informed and confident. Whether you are navigating a difficult refusal, seeking protection in Canada, resolving a family or property matter, or requiring notarial services, Dr. Pallavi Kataria delivers trusted representation with professionalism, integrity, and care.
