About the firm

We were founded on a simple belief: that people in difficult moments deserve more than legal advice. They deserve a team that listens, understands, and fights for what matters.

What began as a solo practice has grown into a dedicated team, but our approach has not changed. Every client works directly with people who know their file intimately, return their calls, and treat their case as if it were the only one on the desk.

We handle the full range of family law matters, from negotiated agreements to complex litigation. Before charting a course, we take the time to understand your situation, and we are honest with you about your options, even when it is not what you want to hear.

Whether your matter calls for a firm hand in the courtroom or a measured approach at the negotiation table, we tailor our strategy to your goals and resolve things as efficiently and cost effectively as possible.

Family law practice areas

Clear guidance for separation, parenting,
support, and property issues.

Family law issues rarely fit one neat box. Choose the area closest to your situation to see how we help. Not sure where you fit? Many of these overlap, and we will guide you to the right path.

Divorce

Guidance through every step of legally ending your marriage, from filing to final order, so the process is as clear and stress free as possible.

Decision Making (Custody)

This covers who makes the major decisions about your children's health, education, religion, and general welfare. We help you secure arrangements that work.

Parenting Time (Access)

We help establish fair, workable schedules for the time your children spend with each parent, always centred on their best interests.

Child Support

We make sure support is calculated correctly under the Child Support Guidelines, whether you are paying or receiving, so your children are properly provided for.

Spousal Support

Whether you may owe or be owed support, we assess entitlement, amount, and duration under the law so the outcome is fair and properly grounded.

Support Review and Variation

Life changes: incomes, jobs, and needs shift. We help you adjust existing support orders or agreements when previous circumstances no longer fit.

Equalization of Net Family Property

On separation, married spouses generally share the growth in their assets' value. We make sure assets and debts are valued correctly and divided fairly.

Trust Claims

If you contributed to property held in your partner's name, you may have a claim. We help unmarried and married partners recover their fair share.

Separation Agreements

A legally binding contract that settles support, property, and parenting without going to court, giving you certainty and a fresh start.

Marriage Contracts

We help couples set clear expectations about property and support before or during marriage, reducing uncertainty if circumstances change.

Cohabitation Agreements

For common law partners, we draft agreements that clarify property, support, and expectations before issues become disputes.

Mediation

A calmer, more affordable path. We help you and the other party reach agreement with a neutral mediator, keeping decisions in your hands instead of a judge's.

Arbitration

A private alternative to court where a neutral arbitrator decides the outcome. Arbitration is often faster and more flexible than litigation, with a binding result.

Litigation

When agreement is not possible, we advocate for you in court to protect your interests while pushing for the most efficient resolution available.

Not sure where your situation fits?Many family law problems overlap. Start with a conversation and we will help you find the right path.

Zack didn't just help me, he saved me. When I came to him, I was on the verge of losing my kids. My previous lawyer had done nothing, and I was running out of time, options, and hope. Zack stepped in and took over immediately. He listened, not just to me, but to my kids, and made sure we were finally heard. He dealt with me directly every step of the way, never passed me off, and made sure I understood exactly what was happening. Because of him, I didn't lose my kids, I secured custody and got the outcome we set out for from day one.

Zach was the best choice I could have made for representation. Through one of the worst moments in life Zach was outstanding. He never sugar coated, never beat around the bush. He was always 100% honest and transparent, in both your case and financials. He gives the truth, even if it's not what you want to hear. I will recommend him, hands down, to anyone who needs a great family lawyer.

I reached out to Zachary and he got back to me quickly within 24 hours. By then I was already discussing my situation with 3 other lawyers. I went with Zach for many reasons and I'm glad that I did. He was efficient and effective. He set clear expectations which many lawyers lack severely. Everything was done in such a timely manner. I recommend Zach to all who are going through difficult times like I am. Thank you Zachary for all your help!
