I spent a large part of my life on the East Coast of Canada and that is where I learned the importance of treating people as people, not files. Specifically, I learned to treat people with honesty, integrity, and fairness. I also pride myself on being approachable. Given the personal nature of topics that family law deals with, it is important to me that my clients feel that they can be completely honest with me so that they can decide, fully informed, how they wish to proceed. I pride myself on being a tireless advocate for my client’s interests.

I especially enjoy helping families through high conflict parenting matters, including those dealing with mental health and addiction issues. My goal in all matters is to bring calm and stability to what can be a stressful and chaotic period.

Sometimes court is the only avenue in which to advance files. Mediation, collaborative law, and negotiation all require the cooperation of both parties to be successful. In many family law cases, that doesn’t exist. In those instances, you need an advocate who is not only not afraid but can effectively advance a case through the Court system. I have advocated at all levels of Court in Ontario, including the Court of Appeal, and utilize arbitration when possible. If you would like to discuss options appropriate for your situation, I would be happy to discuss your circumstances in a confidential consultation.
