I was admitted to the Quebec Bar in 1977. For the last 40+ years my practice has been restricted to family law and estates litigation. I have pleaded hundreds of contested cases over the years, both before the Quebec Superior Court and Court of Appeal. I have experience with almost all difficult issues that come up regularly before the Family Division of the Quebec Superior Court, including custody, support, and division of property.... My practice has also included cases involving the contestation of wills where the issues have been competence to execute a will and undue influence. I would be interested in hearing from you if you are facing a difficult marital, family, or estate situation and are looking for a lawyer to help you achieve the best possible outcome, coupled with the edge that years of litigation experience brings. I will provide a free initial consultation over the phone to see if we are right for each other. If we do decide to work together, I guarantee that you will get 100% of me.
