Our experienced family lawyers and family mediators assist clients throughout Waterloo Region and throughout the Province of Ontario to resolve separation, divorce, parenting disputes, child support, spousal support and property division through family mediation, collaborative divorce, and litigation when necessary.
Our integrative approach combines family law, mediation, negotiation, collaborative practice and strategic legal advocacy to help families resolve disputes more effectively while reducing unnecessary conflict.
Over 40 years of firm experience helping couples, parents, and their children peacefully move forward from separation and divorce.
Choosing to separate is undoubtedly a very difficult and emotional choice for any family. Choosing the right family law lawyer to represent you is an important decision that requires careful thought and consideration.
With over four decades of experience in helping clients navigate matrimonial issues, the team at Sherman Law LLP has developed a healing-focused approach to separation and divorce. This method emphasizes resolutions that prioritize the potential for maintaining a healthy relationship with your spouse for the well-being of your family and children.
Our highly skilled family law lawyers and accredited family mediators are peacemakers who guide our clients through the process of separation and divorce with compassion and empathy.
We take the cases of our clients to the court if truly necessary, but we always first explore the possibility of consensual dispute resolution, including family mediation and collaborative divorce.
We are part of the comprehensive law movement that focuses on the human well-being of our clients and their families to reduce family conflict and work towards creative and sustainable solutions.
We advocate for a wholistic approach to the practise of law that finds healthier ways to resolve legal disputes than an adversarial approach to dispute resolution that can be damaging to families and children.
Our lawyers are child-focused and family-focused advocates who approach each case with individual and strategic care. As integrative legal practitioners, we seek values-based solutions for our clients that focus on strengthening relationships, reducing conflict, enhancing family communication, and resolving legal disputes.
We resolve family conflict and legal disputes using a team approach that partners with other skilled and caring professionals, including family, financial, and mental health specialists.
We welcome all modern families at our family law firm,
including single parents, blended families, same-sex couples,
In our many years of practising family law, we have come to rely upon
three facts that have stood the test of time...
Your separation does not have to define your future.
Your separation can be healing, kind, loving, and respectful of yourself and all involved. You can decide to work together with your spouse to avoid the conflict and adversarial nature of the traditional court process through out-of-court dispute resolution, including mediation and collaborative divorce.
Many family disputes can be resolved without going to court through collaborative divorce and mediation.
Collaborative and integrative law processes focus on the needs of the whole family, which allows you to obtain the best advice and assistance from a variety of legal, financial, family and mental health professionals.
Child-focused solutions create better long-term outcomes.
You can resolve your dispute through interest-based and insightful conversations that seek values-based solutions that lead to lasting and durable parenting plans and separation agreements.
We offer a one-hour comprehensive initial family law consultation for you to meet with an experienced family law lawyer. We spend time getting to know you and discuss your concerns, interests, goals, and values. Then we provide you with legal information about process options to resolve your dispute both in and out of court.
