What to Expect

  • My mission is to provide compassionate, results-driven legal services that prioritizes what matters most to you. From initial consultations to final resolutions, I will listen closely, understand your goals, and develop tailored strategies to help you achieve them.

  • I am called to both the B.C. and Ontario Bar, giving me a unique perspective on the laws of both provinces. This dual insight is valuable when navigating inter-jurisdictional issues or considering moves between B.C. and Ontario. With me, you gain the advantage of knowledge and experience in both legal landscapes.

  • My approach centres on achieving the best outcomes for you and your family’s future, not prolonging conflict to drag out fees. I’m committed to being pragmatic and practical. By focusing on resolution, I aim to provide clarity and closure, allowing you to move forward with confidence.

  • While my primary goal is to resolve matters amicably and efficiently, I recognize that some cases require the decisiveness of the courtroom. I have appeared before the Superior and Provincial Courts in Ontario, representing clients in case conferences and procedural motions. Should negotiation or mediation prove ineffective, I am ready and capable of pursuing your case through the courts.

  • Having worked with clients who have experienced domestic violence and other forms of complex trauma, my approach is always guided by trauma-informed principles. I prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment where your voice is heard, and ensuring you feel empowered and understood throughout the legal process.

  • I recognize the diversity of relationships and family structures in our community. My practice is rooted in a deep understanding of the unique legal needs of 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals. My goal is always to offer informed and compassionate legal services regardless of your background, ensuring all clients feel respected and understood.

Flexible Pricing

Find the right pricing option for your situation:

Flat-Fee Pricing

Know exactly what you’re paying from the start, with no hidden fees or unexpected expenses.

Unbundled Services

Unbundling means getting help with specific legal tasks only, rather than full representation.

Pay for only the legal support you need—whether it’s drafting court documents, getting advice on a single issue, or guidance through a specific stage of your case.

Unbundled services may be billed at flat rates or by the hour at my hourly rate, depending on the complexity of the task.

Full-Service Retainers

Sometimes you need dedicated attention and comprehensive representation throughout your case.

A full-service retainer with me requires a minimum amount of $3000.00 to be deposited into trust.

My hourly rate is $295.00 per hour (+GST and PST), which is billed and invoiced to your trust balance as work is completed.

To maintain a high standard of personalized service, I limit the number of full-service clients I take on. Please request a consultation to explore whether a full-service retainer is right for you.
