The preservation of family relationships is paramount. My goal is to ensure that you achieve results that are tailored to what is important to you.

About Me & My Work

Family law issues will affect some of the most important aspects of your life. Finding a lawyer that you can trust is imperative to achieving a timely and beneficial resolution.

My goal is to ensure that you achieve results that are tailored to what is important to you. This can sometimes be challenging because what is best for one family may not be so for another - and this is why I spend time identifying your unique needs and goals as opposed to applying a one-size-fits-all solution. I approach each situation with creativity and forethought, ensuring that you understand your options and are able to make informed decisions.

In my experience, most family law matters are best resolved out of court. After observing the inefficiency, uncertainty, and frequent hostility involved in family law litigation, I became qualified as both a mediator and a Collaborative Divorce lawyer. My preferred methods of resolving disputes include negotiation, mediation and the Collaborative Divorce process. I strive to resolve disputes efficiently and economically; in my practice, the preservation of family relationships is paramount.

Family law issues touch some of the most important aspects of our lives. Finding a lawyer that you can trust to guide you is imperative to achieving a timely and beneficial resolution.

My goal is to ensure that you achieve results that are tailored to what is important to you. This can sometimes be challenging because what is best for one family may not be so for another - and this is why I spend time identifying your unique needs and goals as opposed to applying a one-size-fits-all solution. As such, I approach each situation with creativity and forethought, ensuring that you understand your options and are able to make informed decisions.

I strive to resolve disputes efficiently and economically - the preservation of family relationships is paramount. Thus, in my experience, most family law matters are best resolved out of court. After observing the inefficiency, uncertainty, and frequent hostility involved in family law litigation, I was motivated to become qualified as both a mediator and a Collaborative law lawyer. Alternative dispute resolution processes such as negotiation, mediation and Collaborative law are therefore my preferred methods of resolving disputes.

When I am not Practicing Law...

I spend my free time in the mountains amongst the trees or by the ocean. My favourite activities are hiking, biking, stand-up paddleboarding and camping.

When time allows, I take the opportunity to travel the world and explore its diverse cultures. I have visited South America, Asia, Africa, and Europe, and experienced most of these destinations as a solo traveler.
