Practice

Over the years, Don has acted for clients in all aspects of family law, including property division, maintenance, custody/access issues, to restraining orders. He has also advised clients on Prenuptial Agreements, Cohabitation or Marriage Agreements, as well as Separation Agreements. Don was recently involved in a case at the B.C. Court of Appeal, which dealt with the obligation of a parent to support an adult child through a post graduate degree at University.

Philosophy

Don believes in practical, pragmatic solutions; if a settlement can be negotiated in a fairly short period of time, that is usually the cheapest alternative for the client.  Normally, the likelihood of settlement can be determined in a fairly short time.  If it appears that the negotiations will be protracted, Don believes that by commencing litigation earlier rather than later, this will save his clients time and money.

Experience
