There was no course in school where you learned how to deal with the emotional pain of separation, the upheaval facing the children, dividing up the property, and figuring how much support is enough to be able to pay for everything.
How do you rewrite your dreams when the plan didn’t work out the way you thought it would?
Lorisa has helped her clients across Toronto, neighbouring Ontario cities and abroad for more than 20 years to obtain what is important to them. But the most effective and durable path is the one where you are at the helm.
The collaborative process gets that this is a tough emotional time. Stepping far away from the judge sitting in court who doesn’t know you, this process empowers you. You set the agenda. Together with your spouse you handle the big decisions with professionals who know what they are talking about: experienced family law lawyers, financial specialists and parenting specialists. Your voice is heard. You are the decision - maker and you control your future. Learn more
Mediation is also a private client - driven process. As a mediator, Lorisa wears the hat of a neutral facilitator helping both spouses work towards an agreeable settlement. As the lawyer advocating for her client, Lorisa is tough to ensure that her client’s financial needs and the best interests of the children are met. Learn more
Negotiation is another common option for clients who are seeking to vary older agreements, update child support payments, or change the spousal support arrangements. It is a good option for clients who want their lawyer to take the front seat in helping them deal with a division of property, new spousal support or child support arrangements or custody concerns.

Lorisa works with her clients to help them move forward with certainty. She helps each client understand what’s at stake, how to weigh the options, and find the best solutions to the children’s particular needs and resolve financial pressure.
Lorisa provides thorough, effective and timely advice, presents strategic planning options relating to her clients’ immediate and long term goals, compassionate understanding and excellent judgment.
Clients learn upfront about their legal rights and obligations so they become empowered to achieve excellent results.
