I felt Val was listening and understood my situation. I saw she wanted to help me and she knows her job. She was upfront, professional and I had a good feeling during our meeting.
I also liked everybody in your firm and felt safe. I was treated with respect and compassion. It gives me hope to heal from certain pains.
Thank you.

How Pathway Legal Supports You Through the Divorce Maze
How to know if Pathway Legal is for you
- Want a law firm that uses court only when necessary and as a very last resort.
- Want a working relationship with your lawyer where you work together as a team with a hands-on approach.
- Want to understand what your entitlements and obligations are.
- Want advice and guidance as to the best available method to seeing your matter finalized.
Pathway Legal is for you if you:
- Are OK with having an “old-fashioned” lawyer who's removed from what's important for you and your family.
- Don't care how much it costs. You just want your ex-spouse to pay emotionally and financially and suffer for the hurt they caused.
- Don't want to negotiate and avoid court; you just want to go to trial and fight.
- Want a lawyer who'll bully your ex.
Pathway Legal is NOT for you if you:

I had the pleasure of having both Katie Sutherland and Val Hemminger as my lawyers! They both have a passion for family law and it showed in each and evening time I met with them. Not only were they both professional but they truly care about their clients… with both of them I could cry, express my frustrations and even though this was a hard year… we even had a lot of laughs together. Val and Katie always put my children first and encouraged me to seek counselling for myself! It was never only about the law to either of them, it was first and foremost about family.
Nick Accarion
I highly recommend this firm they were able to understand our family dynamics even though we were coming from a place of desperation and it was complicated. They were able to navigate our needs in a courteous professional affordable way, and make our separation amicable. I hope to never go through an experience like this again but knowing there's a firm like this made it much easier for me and my loved ones. Highly recommend.
