I am a sole practitioner and have been practising Family Law in Ottawa for over 31 years. I provide a full range of services in Family Law from initial consultations, Mediation, negotiated settlements and drafting of Domestic Contracts, to professional and experienced representation before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice; including Case Conferences, Motions, Settlement Conferences, Trial Management Conferences and Trials.
The representation of Family Law client's can bring many challenges. I have the skills and experience required to work cooperatively with the parties and/or counsel with a view to achieving a negotiated settlement. However, where a settlement is not reached, I will vigorously and tirelessly represent your rights and interests before the Courts of Ontario.

Feel good about choosing this

If I could give her no stars I would, and that would be generous. Don't waste your money and time with her if you are seeking help with a divorce. She'll drag it out and find extra things to fight about to bill hours. One of our meetings lasted 1 hour, billed me for an hour and then proceeded to send me a recap in an email that was billable-not agreed to. The only reason I think she did this was because she had a hunch I was going to terminate our relationship. She mocked an agreement my ex and I worked on together -simply because in 15 months we were getting no where with her services. I desperately
