Services
What we do, and who does it.
Family law and mediation are Jim's. Landlord and Tenant Board, small claims, collections and provincial offences are Danielle's. Nothing gets farmed out.
Family Mediation
A structured, neutral process for settling parenting, support and property questions without handing the decision to a judge.
Separation Agreements
The negotiated document that settles property, support and parenting after a separation — drafted so it holds up when someone tests it later.
Marriage Contracts
Sometimes called a prenup. Sets out what happens to property and support if the marriage ends, before anyone is upset enough to fight about it.
Cohabitation Agreements
For common-law couples, who do not get the same automatic property rights married spouses do. This is the document that fixes that.
Family Law Disputes
Separation, divorce, parenting time, decision-making responsibility, child and spousal support — negotiated where possible, litigated where necessary.
Adoptions
The legal steps to formalise a new member of your family, including step-parent adoptions.
Collaborative Family Law
A settlement-focused process where both parties and both lawyers sign on to resolve the matter out of court. Jim is trained in it.
Landlord and Tenant Board
Applications, evidence, disclosure and hearings — for landlords and for tenants alike.
Small Claims Court
Civil claims up to Ontario's $35,000 limit — pleadings, settlement conferences and trial.
Collections
Recovering unpaid accounts: demand, claim, judgment and enforcement, for businesses tired of writing invoices off.
Provincial Offences
Charges under provincial statutes — traffic and Highway Traffic Act matters, by-law charges and similar tickets that carry more consequence than people expect.
Summary Conviction Offences
Representation on summary conviction matters within a paralegal's licensed scope.
Animal Law Education
An unusual niche and a genuine passion — education and advocacy on animal-related legal issues, drawn from years of hands-on rescue and force-free training work.
