A STRONG AND COMPASSIONATE FAMILY LAW ADVOCATE

William has proudly called London his home since 1989. He attended Western University, where he obtained a degree in social work (BSW), followed by a law degree (LLB), and a Master of Laws degree (LLM) at Osgoode Hall Law School at York University.

With an impressive 25 years of experience in family law practice, he approaches his work with a unique perspective honed by his diverse background. Prior to becoming a lawyer, he dedicated himself to serving the community through various social service agencies, including the Children's Aid Society, Vanier Children Services, Covenant House (Toronto), and the Ministry of Correctional Services. These invaluable experiences have endowed him with a profound understanding of the emotional complexities intertwined with legal matters faced by his family law clients.

Wil recognizes that navigating a separation or divorce represents one of life's most challenging and tumultuous journeys. To him, it signifies the death of a marriage—a deeply impactful event with far-reaching consequences. Wil's profound grasp of the psychological aspects of divorce and separation empowers him to tailor his approach to each unique case, providing unparalleled support and guidance throughout the process.
