Resume
Currently, I am the only lawyer who is a certified comprehensive family law mediator and Certified Specialist in Family Law by the Law Society of Upper Canada in either Hastings or Renfrew County. I believe that I am also the only lawyer in both of these counties that is a certified collaborative family lawyer.
