Meet Erin Reid

• Erin seeks to understand and serve the individual needs and goals of each client both in terms of process and outcome. She specializes in all areas of family law including custody and parenting, support, and property issues.

Erin is trained and experienced in these processes. If necessary, Erin is also experienced courtroom counsel, with an extensive record of advocacy in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the Court of Appeal for Ontario, where her attendances as counsel have produced precedent setting cases, recognized provincially and nation-wide, on the issue of spousal support.
