Over 41 years experience in Family Law - divorce, custody of children,
access, child and spousal support, division of property, restraining
orders, health and medical benefits, insurance and court costs.
All I practice is family law. I don't divide my time between real estate,
corporate and other types of law. I work only on family cases.
We'll start by seeing if we can get you out of your problem in the
quickest and cheapest way possible. We'll explore private settlements,
mediation, four-way meetings - anything
so you can avoid lawyers and litigation! I'll give you Web references
so you can have a look at how family law deals with issues and what
Separation Agreements look like. You may be able to
do significant leg work on your own, without paying me.
I'll listen quietly and then set out for you the good and bad aspects
of your case. Using my experience, we'll strategise how to put your
best case forward. I'll give you immediate advice on how to avoid the
most common pitfalls and how to prepare and conduct your case to get
the best result.
If the case has to go to court, we'll move aggressively and fast. Not
only do I always return phone calls the same day, usually within an
hour or two, but I will produce whatever court Application or Motion
is required - right away. For 40 years I have appeared in family court
twice a week, on average. This benefits you greatly as I can predict
how a Judge may well react to your fact situation. You can often settle
and avoid court by implementing my recommendations - a result the Judge
will likely impose anyway. Experienced lawyers who practice family law
only and appear in court frequently are very good at forecasting what
kind of Order a Judge will make. You can use this to your advantage
and save money.
I'll account to you regularly so you know exactly where you stand financially;
I'll make sure you immediately receive any letter or document received
from the other side, and I'll give to you official Research Memorandums
with case precedents dealing with the area of conflict in your case,
so you can see how Judges have dealt with similar fact situations in
the past. You'll always be in the loop.
So call or e-mail for a free first interview. Free parking, easy access
to my office in the Glebe area of Ottawa. Separation and Divorce aren't
fun, and I'll get you out as quickly as possible.
