Our Team

Michael Loebach has been practicing law since 1978 and has been in private practice since 1991 when he started his own immigration law practice in London, seeing the need for legal advice for newcomers and specifically, refugees.  Since that time, his practice has expanded and has become known locally and internationally as one of the leading immigration law firms in London and the surrounding area.

While his passion is for representing claims for refugee protection and other immigration matters, his practice also includes real estate and small business. His native language is English but he is also fluent in the Spanish language.

Michael has traveled abroad extensively, visiting almost all the continents with the exception of Australia. He has participated in humanitarian and educational missions to El Salvador, Sri Lanka, Lesotho, Colombia, Peru, and Trinidad and Tobago, to name a few. He has dedicated his practice to helping newcomers and making London a more diverse and inclusive community.
