Other services
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.
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.
