Being a family caregiver is one of the hardest things a person can do. We are Ontario's only law firm with a dedicated focus on helping caregivers navigate the health care and legal systems — so you can focus on what matters most.
Talk to a Caregiver Lawyer"You pay the bills, make the meals, manage medications and appointments. You strive to give your loved one a high quality of life. You try not to complain — but it's really, really hard. That's where we come in."— Lisa Feldstein, Caregiver Lawyer
What We Do
We help family caregivers understand their rights, navigate complex systems, and advocate for the people they love. Many of our clients come in for a single meeting — just enough to feel empowered to move forward.
We push back when a hospital tries to discharge a loved one into an unsafe situation, and help you access health records and understand privacy laws.
We advise on the duties and obligations of a person acting under a Power of Attorney for personal care or property.
When there is no Power of Attorney, we help caregivers apply to become a legal guardian through the courts in Ontario.
We advocate for family members trying to become substitute decision-makers, including in situations involving withdrawing life support.
We advocate for better care in long-term care facilities, assist with crisis list placements, and ensure you know your rights when selecting a nursing home for your loved one.
We unravel the complexities of consent and capacity law — and answer the questions you didn't know to ask.
When family dynamics complicate decision-making, we get involved with the goal of resolving issues without going to court.
We help families understand the law around medical assistance in dying (MAID) in Ontario.
