Our Founders

Rick La & Cesar Agudelo

It all started on July 18th 2022.

Cesar’s a litigation lawyer with experience in personal injury, employment, immigration and energy and regulation. Before becoming a lawyer, Cesar spent close to ten years advocating for immigrants, workers and vulnerable populations.

Rick’s a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant who has been providing affordable and professional immigration services for over seven years. Prior to founding Camino, Rick spent more than ten years working in different engineering and energy firms in Calgary.

Both Cesar and Rick have first hand knowledge on the challenges immigrants face arriving and growing in Canada. Cesar immigrated with his family and grew up in a family that depended on a small business. Rick immigrated as a student and has gone through the challenges a student must face during their early time in Canada.

Drawing from their personal experiences, empathy and compassion, our founders created Camino Law Group with the dream to provide quality legal and immigration services to individuals and small businesses.
