We resolve Ontario estate disputes.
Resolving estate disputes requires special expertise: expertise in the law and Court practice, expertise in understanding family dynamics, and a practical approach to dispute resolution.
We are firm, fair, and effective advocates who help our clients resolve disputes as quickly and pragmatically as possible. We believe strongly in trying to keep the costs of litigation under control, and in mediation where appropriate.
On select matters, we act on a ‘success fee’ basis (contingency), where our fees are only payable on success.
