Approach to Providing Unbundled Legal Services:
My approach to providing unbundled legal services is to provide the individual with the same high level of skill and expertise as I do to all of my clients.
I recognize that some individuals cannot afford legal representation (especially representation by senior counsel which I am) and by providing them with the opportunity to have representation in this format, they are given flexibility, a voice, and most likely a better outcome than they would receive if they had no legal assistance at all.
Mediation: I have taken family mediation training and I have acted as counsel in 21-30 mediations in the last 5 years. I have acted as mediator in 5 or fewer mediations in the last 5 years.
Approach to Supporting Clients in Mediation:
My approach is to provide them with a high level of skill and expertise that I have gained as senior counsel and through my training as a family law mediator.

Cultural Diversity Experience: In my 16 years of practice I have had extensive experience dealing with clients from various experiences and cultural and socio-economic backgrounds with various family law issues. During the beginning of my career, I was counsel for a number of legal aid clients and also for clients in ministry matters. As a woman of color who was born and raised in Canada, I have the benefit of being comfortable in all types of cultural situations and have experience with managing different cultural traditions and customs.
