North Vancouver Lawyer, Collaborative Divorce Lawyer & Mediator

Through the terribly tough times of my separation / divorce, when I was completely overwhelmed (as it felt all way too much, at times, and I just couldn’t take it any more), Amalia stayed so strong for me and she encouraged me forward. She's a real pro - I was impressed with her efficiency (I was the only one who slowed us down, when working, as I asked for explanations to ensure my understanding). She sure knows her stuff, and will research further, as needed. She's efficient and a very hard worker; I'm absolutely certain that she saved me money on lawyer's bills, despite a challenging case. I felt that she cared about me and my situation, while remaining firm and giving realistic advice. Overall, I'm very grateful for Amalia!

Amalia is amazing! Competent, compassionate, and caring. She’s very smart and extremely responsive to emails. Very clear in her guidance and a good negotiator. Highly recommended and I would hire Amalia and her team again in a heartbeat.

It was a pleasure to work with Amalia. She took the stress out of the separation / divorce process. Amalia gave clear advice and guidance and the process was done with grace, ease and efficiency. Thank you, Amalia, it was great working with you and using the collaborative approach.

Amalia was an amazing advocate. Her support was extremely helpful in navigating difficult situations. She was reliable and quick to respond. In addition, I very much appreciated her realistic guidance. It allowed me to make difficult decisions in an effective and efficient manner. I recommend Amalia. She is a very valuable and knowledgeable resource.

Amalia's exceptional legal expertise and unwavering commitment were instrumental in navigating the complexities of my separation. Her comprehensive understanding of family law, coupled with a compassionate and client-focused approach, set her apart as an outstanding advocate. Amalia demonstrated an unparalleled ability to communicate complex legal concepts in a clear and accessible manner, ensuring I felt informed and empowered throughout the process. Her attention to detail and thoroughness in reviewing all aspects of the agreement showcased her dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for her clients. Beyond her legal acumen, Amalia exhibited genuine empathy and professionalism, providing a sense of reassurance during a challenging time. I am profoundly grateful for Amalia's exceptional guidance and support, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a dedicated and proficient family lawyer.

I interviewed other lawyers before deciding to work with Amalia. Other lawyers wasted time telling me anecdotes that were not relevant to my case, and did not give me the sense that they would advocate or support me through this process. That was not the case with Amalia. The first thing that impressed me was how extremely efficient she is. She will not waste your time or money! She is caring, professional, and kind. I am grateful I found her services.

Amalia was referred by a family friend to help me with my separation. She did an amazing job. 5/5 for communication, fighting for me, and most of all caring. Would highly recommend to anybody!

Amalia's expert guidance and knowledge of case law is a huge reason that I survived the devastating blow of my divorce. When I was off balance and reeling, she was firm, fair, and honest, when working with my former spouse and her counsel. Amalia worked well with the opposing counsel, guiding them in the nuances of Collaborative Family Law, when opposing counsel was new to the process. She ran excellent and efficient meetings, and was fair and transparent in all administrative and financial matters. I really can't thank her enough for the help she gave me and my two sons. Honestly, it is hard to speak of positive experiences when revisiting my divorce, however my counsel, was a positive. Amalia Schön was the reason it turned out the way it did - fairly, expediently, without any time in court, and keeping the best interests of both of my two sons front and centre in the process.

Separation and divorce is a very challenging process for everyone involved. Amalia and her collaborative approach guided me through an uncertain time and I am very thankful for her help. I believe more people should consider this alternative to the old paradigm of divorce proceedings.
