Advocacy & Litigation
We provide advocacy from our initial consultation until a resolution is found.
When court is inevitable, we focus on moving matters forward in a pragmatic, resolute manner.
Throughout the process, we will help you understand the relevant laws, and your rights and obligations with respect to your family so that you can make informed decisions.
Separation Agreements
Most family law disputes are resolved by reaching an agreement without using court resources.
We work with you to negotiate and prepare an agreement on issues like property division, parenting arrangements, support, and other matters arising from your separation.
This is a cost effective and timely approach to resolving family law disputes and finding a pathway forward.
Mediation & Arbitration
Mediation and Mediation-Arbitration (Med-Arb) are options in reaching resolution without the need for court intervention.
The role of the Mediator is to act as a neutral third-party.
We guide you through the process and ensure you are fully informed at the mediation or med-arb session. We focus on reaching an amicable resolution that works for both parties.
Independent Legal Advice
Independent Legal Advice (ILA) is advice to ensure a party fully understands their rights before signing a legal document or agreement.
We review the document with you and provide advice on your rights and obligations.
We ensure you are fully informed before you sign the legal document.
Cohabitation Agreements
If you are planning to cohabitate or marry, we help you negotiate and prepare an agreement that specifies how issues such as property, debt, support and parenting, would be handled in the event of separation.
These agreements are designed to protect assets and enable partners to maintain a separate property regime while living together or married.
Unbundled Services & Limited Scope Retainers
Limited scope or unbundled services allow you to work with lawyer at a cost you can manage.
We provide advice on specific issues and give assistance when full representation is not feasible or perhaps necessary.
This may include preparation of pleadings, affidavits, or documents for Court, coaching self-representing litigants, advocacy on limited issues, or desk order divorce applications.
