Balanced: Protecting your interests while remaining solution-oriented
Clear: Explaining complex legal and financial issues in straightforward terms
Measured: Pursuing negotiation and settlement when possible, litigation when necessary

Our Practice Areas
Property and Equalization
When it comes to dividing your assets and what you've built together, effective legal and financial advice matters. We handle cases involving the matrimonial home, ensuring you understand the true financial implications of keeping or selling the family home.
Our team analyzes RRSP and pension valuations, tax rates and rules regarding division as these are often your largest assets.
If you own investment properties, we manage the allocation while considering tax implications, capital gains, and long-term value.
Child and Spousal Support
Child and spousal support calculations require consideration of legal entitlement issues and financial issues. We prepare detailed spousal support calculations and provide explanation that reflect fair outcomes based on your circumstances. Our child support determinations account for all relevant income sources and special expenses.
Parenting Plans
Your children's wellbeing comes first. We develop parenting plans that work for your family's situation, considering work schedules, children's activities, and practical realities. We create clear decision-making frameworks that reduce future conflict about education, healthcare, and other important matters.
Separation Agreements
A well-drafted separation agreement prevents future disputes and protects your interests for years to come. We create comprehensive, enforceable agreements with clear terms so everyone understands their obligations and rights.
Our Story
Most divorcing couples in Ontario share the same concern: uncertain legal costs. Traditional hourly billing makes it impossible to budget.
Even a straightforward divorce can cost $20,000 to $40,000 per person. Cases that go to Court - over $100,000. You won't know the final number until you're already committed.
There's a better way.

The Real Cost of Hourly Billing
Let's be honest about what divorce typically costs in Ontario:
Traditional Hourly Billing:
Lawyer rates: $400-$600 per hour
Average divorce cost: $20,000-$40,000+ per person
Every email, phone call, and revision: Adds to your bill
Your anxiety level: High - constantly watching the meter and invoices
Final cost: Unknown until your case is resolved. The longer your case is open the higher your legal fees. Once you have retained a lawyer it is difficult to leave and very expensive to hire new counsel.
Common scenario: "I thought it would be $10,000... my final bill was $28,000"
Our Flat Fee Approach:
Fixed price: Locked in from day one
Includes everything: No nickel-and-diming for calls and emails (subject to fixed hours for communication)
Your peace of mind: You can focus on moving forward, not watching the meter
Clear timeline: Know when you'll be done
Manageable payments: Payable over 12 months on your credit card

Marketing Term Clarification - "90-Day Divorce" is a marketing term, not a legal term. Our 90-day target specifically refers to reaching a separation agreement between the parties, which establishes the substantive rights and obligations of each spouse regarding property division, support and other relevant matters. Parenting plans require additional time. The formal divorce order itself, requires a judge's signature and a court application, is a separate legal process and requires additional fees that you can apply for after the separation agreement is finalized. While the separation agreement governs your substantive rights, the final divorce order will be obtained through subsequent court proceedings in accordance with provincial requirements. We do NOT guarantee you will get a Court ordered divorce in 90 days as that process usually takes between 8 months to a year depending on Court processing times.
Timeline Expectations - The "90-Day Divorce" name represents our target timeline goal, not a guaranteed outcome. While we are committed to moving your case forward as efficiently as possible, the actual duration of your separation depends on several factors outside our control. These factors include your timely cooperation and responsiveness in providing necessary information and documentation, the complexity of your individual circumstances, prompt and good-faith negotiations between parties, the responsiveness and cooperation of opposing counsel, scheduling availability and processing times. Our team will diligently work to advance your case and remove any obstacles within our control. However, some cases take longer than 90 days to complete. Depending on the specific circumstances, your divorce may take 6-12 months or longer to finalize. Any delays resulting from external factors such as uncooperative opposing counsel, or delays in client or opposing party’s responsiveness are not due to lack of effort on our part.
Flat Fee Structure - Our flat fee service is designed for straightforward, moderate complex divorce cases. This fee structure assumes a standard level of complexity and time commitment. If your case requires significantly more time than allocated, or if complications arise that were not apparent at the outset, we reserve the right to convert your representation to our standard hourly billing structure. If conversion becomes necessary, you will be notified in advance and any unused portion of your flat fee will be credited toward hourly charges or refunded as appropriate. We also reserve the right to withdraw from flat fee representation if the case scope substantially exceeds initial expectations, either known or unknown, in which case you will receive a refund of any unused fees. The Firm has final decision making as to whether your matter will fit within the flat fee package and whether it wishes to proceed with the retainer, even if your matter appears to meet all the necessary criteria, the Firm may still decline to represent you.
