WHY FAMILY HEALTH LAW™?

-We believe there’s nothing more important than health and family...

My career started in a downtown firm advising health care organizations. I noticed that patients’ families were often left in the dark. They didn’t know where to turn or what their rights were. They felt powerless and confused. Yet, I didn’t see any lawyers helping these struggling families. I realized there was a gap and that I was well-suited to fill that gap.

WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE

Specialized

We are the only law firm in Canada focused on advising and representing family caregivers in health law. We’re also among the few lawyers practicing reproductive law and fertility law in Canada. Our practice includes guardianship, substitute decision-making, fertility contracts, and health care disputes.

Simple

We don’t use legal jargon to impress you. Instead, we explain Ontario health law, mental health law, and fertility law in plain language—so you understand the advice you’re getting and the documents you’re signing.

Practical

Our clients want clear answers about health law, capacity law, guardianship law, and reproductive law in Ontario—not long academic reports. We focus on solutions that work, so you can move forward with confidence.

Accessible

We make it easy for family caregivers and individuals navigating health law to access legal advice in Ontario. We use technology to offer online legal services, virtual meetings, and digital resources, so you can get the help you need—wherever you are.

Experienced

We have deep experience in health law, mental health law, elder law, and reproductive law in Ontario. Before becoming a health lawyer, Lisa worked inside the health sector, giving her valuable insight into how hospitals, healthcare providers, and legal systems work together. We use that knowledge to help you advocate for your loved one.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

“Thank you very much for your help and excellent professional service… I am very happy with the outcome, you made this whole [guardianship application] process run smoothly. I can’t thank you enough”

“Thank you for everything – even with the numerous obstacles that occasionally came up, you made this process an easy one and for that we are appreciative. Your professionalism, thoroughness and follow up from day one is commendable – you rock!”

“I can’t express what I am feeling right now…just wish to say ‘thank you from bottom of our hearts’. You came through as an angel to our family. Without your help organizing and presenting the info, I am not sure where we would have ended.”

“Your advice has already proven itself as my dealings with CCAC this week have gone perfectly. I feel confident going forward now, and wish to express gratitude for the wisdom you imparted. I expect in the near future to contact you again with related matters, particularly regarding capacity and power of attorney.”

“Lisa helped demystify the process of completing a gestational carrier agreement. I felt at a loss when my husband and I contacted her, and she really took the time to explain all the steps and answer all our questions. We live in a small town where we don’t have access to this type of lawyer, and Lisa was able to do all this long distance for us which we truly appreciate.”
