PROFESSIONAL LICENSES

GENERAL COMMENTS

I have been practicing family law at Farris since 2004.  Farris is a firm of 96 lawyers, which has been ranked by Lexpert as one of the leading firms in Vancouver.  Our family law department at Farris consists of six full-time lawyers, five of whom are litigators.  I am the only lawyer practicing within the Collaborative Law Model.  My passion for this work is profound, and I strongly believe Collaborative Practice creates the possibility and (perhaps) the probability of healthier children and parents.  In addition to helping families in my private practice, I am also interested in fostering social change through Collaborative Practice.
