Education & Toronto Family Law Experience
As a Toronto family law lawyer, I have earned an LL.M. (Master's in Family Law). Over more than 20 years, I have helped many clients manage challenging divorce cases. These included complex employment situations, high-income earners, large real estate portfolios, and business evaluations. I have represented clients across Ontario. I can also be found at the Ontario Court of Appeal (see Court Decisions).
International Family Law Disputes and Hague Applications
My expertise includes international family law disputes and Hague Applications. (See the Hague Applications page). In Australia, Botswana, and Italy and in the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, and the United States, I've successfully represented parents trying to return their children. In the U.S. Federal Court, I have also been an expert witness. You should immediately act if your child was abducted and taken to Canada by a parent.
