Ottawa based lawyer specializing in family law, wills & estate planning, civil litigation, immigration law, and notarial services.
Ethically Ambitious
In my first year of law school, they told us to strive to be ethically ambitious lawyers - a concept that I strongly support. Trust, honesty, and confidence are qualities that you can expect from me as your advocate.
Established relations with a broad network of legal experts
I have established relations with a broad network of legal experts in family law, civil litigation, wills & estate planning, and immigration law. By leveraging this network of legal experts with my firm's strong research skills and analytical capacity, I am able to provide high-level legal services in a small, client-focused firm.
Timely and efficient communication
Communication is key to establishing and maintaining a strong working relationship. You can expect a response from me within 1 business day. If your question requires more time, I will let you know when you should expect a more detailed response.
I believe that face-to-face meetings are best to establish our solicitor-client relationship and discussing your matter in person is the best way to ensure I accurately understand the facts. I will respect your preferred method of communicating with me (e.g., in person, by telephone, by email, or by letter), but if you have specific questions, then perhaps e-mail would be best as it allows me the opportunity to reflect on your questions and answer them accurately.
Community focused
Either in my professional life or in my personal life, I make an effort to support various communities. Each year my Firm collects and donates christmas gifts for the foster children through the Elgin Street Courthouse Angel Program each year, provides a free legal information clinic for LGBT youth here in Ottawa, provides reduced rates for wills and estate planning for people living with HIV/AIDS, and this year I participated in the Canadian Cancer Society's Free Will Month. In my personal life, I am a member of an organization that is sponsoring the resettlement gay refugees here in Ottawa, and raising money for Multiple Sclerosis through participating in the annual MS Bike Ride from Ottawa to Cornwall.
