Maritime/Admiralty

In addition to dispute resolution we advise on the registration of commercial vessels, pleasure crafts (including yachts), and ships under construction, ensuring full compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Family

We provide clear and compassionate guidance through divorce and related family matters, including property division, child custody, and maintenance. Our goal is to help you achieve a fair and practical resolution.

Criminal Defense

Your right to a fair hearing and the presumption of innocence are fundamental principles protected by the Constitution. These rights are at the core of our approach to every case we handle.

We understand that no two cases are the same. Every allegation requires a tailored defence strategy, carefully developed based on the specific facts and circumstances. We work closely with you throughout the process, ensuring you are fully informed and actively involved in preparing your defence whether it be for illegal possession of firearm/ammunition, larcency, fraud, wouding with intent, rape, or otherwise.

Personal Injury

Whether your injury results from a slip and fall at work, at someone’s home, or in a supermarket, a dog bite, or a motor vehicle accident, we are here to help.

We work closely with qualified medical professionals, and rely on established legal principles to ensure that you are properly compensated. This includes coverage for medical expenses, future care, loss of income, and the overall impact the injury has had on your life.

Real Estate Transactions

It is important for both purchasers and vendors to have proper legal representation when dealing with real estate transactions. Many purchasers mistakenly believe that the process simply involves paying the purchase price and collecting a title. In reality, there are several critical legal checks that must be completed to protect your investment.

Where only one party is represented, it is especially important for the purchaser to retain an attorney. We ensure that the title is in good order, including confirming that there are no encumbrances, outstanding debts, or boundary issues based on the surveyor’s report. We also review the terms of the Agreement for Sale to ensure they are fair, clear, and legally sound.

A key part of our role is verifying that the vendor has the legal authority to sell the property. This and other essential checks help to prevent costly disputes and ensure that your transaction proceeds smoothly and securely.

Estate Planning

Estate planning is not just for later in life—it is something that should begin as early as possible. Taking steps now can help protect your assets and ensure that your wishes are carried out in the future.

While many people are familiar with a Last Will and Testament, there are several other tools available to help manage and protect your affairs after death. These include life insurance policies and the creation of trusts, each offering different benefits depending on your circumstances.

We guide you through the available options and help you choose the most suitable approach, ensuring that your estate is structured in a way that provides security and peace of mind for you and your loved ones.

We approach each case with careful preparation and a strong focus on achieving practical,
effective outcomes for our clients.
