Kind, honest, caring. I couldn't be happier with her services
Professional and caring.
Josie represented me from 2017 to the present because my original lawyer left on maternity leave. Josie came highly recommended by several very well-regarded family lawyers. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable, fair, articulate, and easy to work with. She responded to my concerns quickly and professionally. She approached things pragmatically, and suggested options and the pros and cons of each choice, so that I could feel comfortable and confident on how to proceed. She would frame those choices in both regards of financial considerations, as well as what the possible outcomes for the co-parent relationship and what would be in the best interest of children. She operates with integrity and honesty, which allowed me to do the same. I believe that she best protected my interests and steered me through a confusing and emotional process with caring and grace. I have no hesitation recommending her to others.
Josie first represented me with regards to a separation and divorce in 2005, and more recently in April 2017 she assisted me with an additional matter regarding child support stemming from the original divorce.
Josie's knowledge of the law is unparalleled in my opinion and she uses that knowledge to guide her clients towards a successful resolution. She is fair, level-headed and extremely approachable. She presents the issues in a fair and equitable manner and encourages her clients look at things the same way. If something seems unreasonable she will discuss it with her clients so that they understand why it is most-likely not the best path to follow. In my experience, she is extremely well-respected by other lawyers and by judges in the family court because of these attributes. They give serious thought and consideration to her words and her opinions because they know she is fair and well-versed in the appropriateness of what she is asking for. Furthermore, she is firm, strong and well-spoken which further inspires respect and confidence in the courtroom. To be quite honest, I do consider her to be the best family law lawyer in Barrie and feel lucky to have had her representing me and assisting me in both of my matters. I will continue to seek her assistance if and when it is needed again.
Josie represented me in 1999 in regards to my divorce and more recently, I returned to her and she provided assistance in regard to a common-law separation. Her knowledge of the law and its implications was spot on. She was professional, compassionate, and did her best both times to obtain a reasonable outcome for me. Her office is in her family home (which I had no issue with) and her hourly rate is reflective of that – she was honest in her billing practices. I highly recommend Josie to anyone looking for a smooth and efficient solution to their family law issues.
