If a children’s aid society has become involved with your family inside or outside of court, it is very important that you speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to know your rights. Whether you are a parent, foster parent or kin member, we are here to assist you.
High-Conflict Litigation
Our office has extensive experience working on high-conflict and domestic violence cases. We have experience in cases involving child abuse, child abduction, the Hague Convention, disputes over jurisdiction and other high conflict matters. Our cases frequently involve reports from the Office of the Children's Lawyer or s.30 assessments. We work hard to help clients find reasonable solutions in difficult circumstances.
Mediation
