We do not take a passive approach to domestic violence files. We apply for emergency protection orders, restraining orders, exclusive possession of the matrimonial home, and urgent parenting motions — assertively and without delay — with the safety of our clients and their children as the driving priority.
When your matter is urgent, we respond accordingly. We can bring emergency motions and assist with safety planning on short timelines.
We prepare every file for the possibility of a hearing or trial. You'll know your options and what to expect before stepping into a courtroom.
We explain things in plain language and keep you informed. No unnecessary jargon, and no bills that catch you off guard.
In decision-making responsibility and parenting time matters involving family violence, children's physical safety is never a secondary consideration. We fight to put your children’s safety at the centre of every order sought — and to keep them out of situations that place them at risk.
We serve one of Ontario's most diverse regions. We're familiar with the cultural dynamics that often shape family law disputes in the GTA.
