When disagreements arise or relationships fail, mediation may be the answer. Stanley Mayes is a trained and certified mediator and is available for private mediation services and court-appointed mediation.

Mediation is usually a cost-effective alternative to going to court and is typically much faster. Rest assured that you can still seek mediation even if you have started the court process. Our goal is a fair and equitable resolution to your conflict in a professional but friendly, non-threatening atmosphere.

“The mediator tries to ensure that the participants reach agreement freely, voluntarily, without undue influence and on the basis of informed consent.”
From the definition of “mediation” – Ontario Association For Family Mediation, 1997

Many people put off making a will because they associate the task with death. In reality, will preparation and estate planning are more about life. We can help you make plans that will benefit you and your family both now and in the future; meaningful and successful plans require professional preparation because this area of the law is more complex – and has many more implications – than many people realize. Our areas of expertise include tax planning, trusts and estate administration. And we are able to give you individual and specialized attention so that you achieve the results you desire.

Issues pertaining to family law are often emotionally charged. Through a combination of skill and experience we strive to empathize with our clients while never losing sight of the fundamental responsibility we have to provide excellent legal representation. It is our privilege to assist families as they confront the challenges of several family law areas.
