Child Protection
Dealing with the Children’s Aid Society or having a child apprehended from your care can not only be frightening but also cause parents and family members extreme stress and disruption. Greg is dedicated to providing strong and effective representation at every step of a child protection proceeding.
CRIMINAL LAW
The criminal law process can be intimidating and confusing. An arrest can occur if the police simply have reason to believe you have committed a criminal offence. With that in mind its important to remember that in our criminal justice system there is a presumption of innocence.
Hiring a criminal defense lawyer is one of the most important decisions you will make. A skilled advocate can significantly increase the chances that a case will end as favourably as possible for the defense. The quality of representation will have long-term consequences for you and your family. Greg offers personal attention to each of his clients. He has a proven track record in criminal court and can help you analyze your case effectively and efficiently. He will use his expertise to help you figure out your options quickly without establishing unrealistic expectations. Greg offers quality representation and respect that you deserve during this difficult time.
Greg is experienced in Assault Charges, Driving Offences, Youth Criminal Justice Act Offences as well as many other Criminal Code Offences. Legal Aid Certificates are accepted.
Family Law
Separation or the involvement of the Children’s Aid Society is an especially difficult time and the Ontario Family Law can be confusing. Knowing and understanding your rights, as well as having a clear strategy are essential in bringing your matter to a resolution. The decision you make not only affects yourself, but also your children. It is important to have a lawyer advocating for you and your rights upon separation to the furthest extent. Greg understands that honesty and transparency is a large part of successfully working in family law and navigating through family law litigation. Greg is concerned with results and value based litigation.
At the initial consultation Greg will explain how the law applies to your particular case. Together, you will then identify your options and discuss the most effective strategy in your matter. Having an initial plan of action is crucial to achieving some stability and predictability in such uncertain times.
Greg is well versed in family law cases including Separation Agreements, Divorce, Child Protection Cases, and Custody and Access cases. He is experienced in taking on complex cases involving property division and division of major assets. Legal Aid Certificates are accepted.

Born and raised in Wheatley, Ontario, I have been local to the Chatham-Kent area all my life. I attended law school at both the University of Windsor and the University of Detroit Mercy. After being called to the bar I articled at a prominent criminal defence practice in Windsor before opening up my own practice in Chatham-Kent. I bring enthusiasm and dedication to my legal practice through vigorous defense of my clients rights. Outside of the courtroom I am an avid sports fan and enjoy playing hockey, baseball and golf. I have always maintained an active role in minor hockey and I have been rewarded with the coach of the year award from the Southpoint Minor Hockey Association.
