My Name is Theodora. I am Dr Leonard’s wife. I am a Lawyer; licensed to practice both in Nigeria and Alberta.

I moved to Canada from the UK in August 2015 and shortly after, I met all the requirements to practice in Canada as required by the National Committee on
Accreditation, Ottawa. I articled in a reputable Law firm in Calgary and subsequently got admitted to the Alberta Bar in June 2019.

I practice in the areas of Family Law, Wills & Estate, and Notary Public.

I offer legal services to Deer Ridge patients at a discounted
rate due to my affiliation to the clinic. I also work with Legal Aid clients requiring services in the area of Family Law.

I completed my Bachelors Degree in Law at the University of Nigeria and proceeded to Nigerian Law School, Lagos. I relocated to Ireland in 2002, and on getting to Ireland; there was no pathway at the time for internationally trained lawyers to practice law. I had a change of career, and got admitted into Dublin City University, Ireland, for a degree programme in Nursing. I graduated with a B.sc (Nursing) in 2009, with special interest in Learning Disability.

I also attended the Dublin Business School where I got a Master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA).
