AJ is a one of a kind person and an extraordinary lawyer. If you are looking for someone with strong ethics, professionalism, and sheer grace to guide you through your lowest times, she is the one. Her experience runs deep in every facet, and her team is no short of that either. Carolyn was very supportive and diligent in her work as well. AJ will give it to you straight, and it might not be exactly what you want to hear in the moment, but trust me, she knows what she is doing and has the best intentions for the family relationship. We are truly blessed to have worked with her and would recommend her to any honest person going through a separation.

There aren’t enough stars to give AJ and Carolyn, I am so grateful for being introduced to them, anyone needing a professional, knowledgeable, smart, strong, empathic lawyer she’s the one.
Divorce is difficult in all aspects, dealing with the unknown and what’s to come is overwhelming, AJ and Carolyn held my hand through the whole process, their professionalism and knowledge and emotional support put me to ease. I valued her advice and I felt heard, when I had questions or suggestions, I didn’t feel like a number, she was straightforward and respectful which made me put my full trust in her and her team. The process and documents were broken down and explained, I didn’t feel clueless.
Words cannot express how grateful I am to have had them represent me. Thank you both for everything.

I was stuck in a separation/ custody battle for 3 years that was stalling and seemed hopeless. AJ brought structure to my file immediately, and she took charge. She set realistic expectations and efficiently arranged a court date with the opposing council. We went to court and won a significant amount of time at a case conference. She came prepared to deal with anything the opposing council had to say. Not only did she win me more time but she did it to the letter of law. It was a sight to see and I’ll never forget Carolyn and AJ, they’ve had a enormous impact on me and my family’s life. Thanks AJ and Carolyn, I’m eternally grateful.

AJ has played a pivotal role in having a father awarded with quality and quantified time with his children. She kept to the script and fought for what matters most, family. She has a kind heart and is in her profession for the right reasons, keeping parents with their children and getting what is deserved. Her ability to stay focused on the best outcome separates her from the rest. Thank you AJ for bringing our family together❤️

Within 5 minutes of being in AJ’s office I knew I had found the lawyer I needed to represent me , in what would end up being a messy divorce.
AJ is tenacious, powerful, confident, knowledgeable as well as kind, caring and compassionate. AJ and Carolyn keep you informed throughout the entire process, explaining each step of the divorce procedure - always encouraging you to ask questions.
AJ knows her way around the court room- I would not want to be on the other side!
She was firm, direct, and professional during both of my court dates,. AJ always attempted to resolve issues before going in front of the judge, demonstrating excellent mediation skills.
My divorce from start to finish took under a year, which I contribute to AJ.
Hiring AJ and her team was money well spent.
Words cannot express how grateful I am to have had AJ and Carolyn by my side throughout this process.

AJ and Carolyn are AMAZING! I was terrified about starting this whole process but in the first minute of meeting AJ, I was immediately put at ease by her professionalism and generosity of information. The longer I work with them, the more impressed I become by her ethical nature and professional conduct with her peers. She is straightforward but respectful of my process. Gentle and calming when I was struggling. She is also very knowledgeable and communicates in a timely manner. Her podcasts Sane Split are incredible. They are articulate, easy to understand and helped me immensely prepare for what is clearly a difficult process. Carolyn is also fantastic. Very easy to talk to and her attention to detail is phenomenal. I feel very lucky that I have them on my side!

AJ is a skilled mediator. She has a unique style, is extremely personable, and engages easily with clients and lawyers alike. She has successfully resolved some of the most high conflict, seemingly intransigent files I have had. She is professional, effective, compassionate and kind. I would not hesitate to recommend AJ as a mediator.

Several years ago I found myself in need of a divorce lawyer and thankfully I found AJ. She is a consummate professional, All my questions were answered and AJ was happy to explain every step of the process. Most importantly, AJ broke down every legal process so I understood what we were doing.. She is a skilled negotiator who knew which provisions to change to benefit me. Her calm and empathetic demeanour offered immense emotional support to me. AJ has all the qualities that you want and need in a lawyer who is helping you. I am eternally grateful for her service and dedication.
