With respect to family matters, we are focused on achieving a quick resolution that meets the client's wants and needs. We explore all options with the client and, where applicable, opposing counsel to attempt to achieve the required result without having to litigate through the courts. In some cases, litigation is the only option.
Separation is often a difficult time for individuals. Aside from the usual feelings associated with the breakdown of a relationship, one now faces complex legal issues which need attention. These issues may include custody and access, child or spousal support and issues relating to property. These issues can arise both for persons at the end of a marriage or on the break up of a common law relationship.
Collaborative Family Law is a relatively new development in family law whereby instead of pitting former partners as opponents in a Courtroom, or engaging in traditional positional negotiation, the parties and their counsel work together to a meaningful resolution. The focus is to find the underlying issues in each of the parties' positions and find a fair arrangement without confrontation.
Matters involving Child and Family Services can be a jarring experience for clients. Being notified that a Children's Aid Society wishes to involve themselves in your life against your wishes on an ongoing basis, or sometimes apprehend your children, can be alarming and disheartening. Not only can Court proceedings or an apprehension come as a surprise, but often you are required to move quickly to ensure your rights are safeguarded.
Being faced with criminal charges is a stressful experience. The consequences of being found guilty of a criminal offence can be severe, impacting work prospects, living with a curfew and/or other conditions and resulting in a custodial (jail) sentence. You are entitled to the opportunity to make full answer and defense to whatever charges are made against you.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Value
If it's possible to give a less than 1 star I would do that. In saying that I didn't deal with Stephen Arnold. I dealt with his father who in my opinion was completely useless and was just taking my $ and doing NOTHING. Hopefully Stephen is a much better lawyer than his father was!!! (not that it would be difficult)
