Do you Need a Family Lawyer in Ontario?

No two family law cases are the same. We create strategies tailored to your personal objectives and circumstances. Some situations require aggressive advocacy and the utilization of the courts. There are many cases, however, that can be resolved through alternative processes such as mediation or arbitration. Mediation and arbitration are private proceedings, and can be more cost-effective and timely than the court system. We are committed to working with you to craft the right approach for your unique circumstances.

We also offer unbundled services related to any of our family law practices areas, which includes limited scope retainers and legal coaching. Many individuals choose to or have to represent themselves in their family law matters, but would benefit from legal advice or services from time to time. Offering unbundled services allows us to craft an arrangement that works for your unique needs and situation, where you would remain responsible for your case but would have access to legal assistance for certain tasks or to have your questions answered along the way.
