I have been assisting clients with their family law matters since 2003 when I started out as a law clerk. After several years of clerk experience, I decided to further my education and applied to law school. I wanted to expand my knowledge and skills in law and become a lawyer so that my contribution and assistance to clients could be taken to the next level. I completed law school and was called to the bar in 2013, and I have continued to exclusively practice family law ever since.
Prior to starting my own family law practice, I was an associate lawyer for prominent family law boutique firms in the Peel Region and Toronto. I have extensive experience and have dealt with a broad range of issues in financial matters as well as parenting issues.
I am able to tailor my style and approach based on each client’s individual needs. Being a child of divorce myself, I am also able to look at each matter and treat each client with empathy and compassion, as I understand the emotional strains which sometime accompany the process of separation/divorce. My clients quickly find me to be their voice of reason, as well as their strong support system, both in the legal and emotional sense.
I also offer services as an accredited family mediator. As a mediator, I am able to tackle the barriers to access to justice and assist parties in reaching a resolution that is right for their family on their own terms.
As a VCR practitioner, I can also assist your family if you would like your child(ren)’s thoughts and preferences to be heard and considered in the process of deciding the parenting matters.
Whether you are going through an amicable separation or a contentious one, please schedule a consultation with me. I would be more than happy to meet to discuss your situation and your needs.
