How Does Pathway Legal Conduct My First Appointment?

At Pathway Legal, we have a unique, in-depth approach to our initial client consultations. The first time one of our family law lawyers meets with you is an investment in your future and the changing circumstances that may arise. 

Each consultation is 60 minutes because our family law lawyers don't JUST give you initial advice.

We also get to know you, your circumstances, and what you are looking for. Once we have spent time with you, we also provide suggestions, strategies, and recommendations on the best way to move forward.

Each divorce lawyer is committed to dispute resolution and avoiding court whenever possible. They are also well prepared and trained to go to court if necessary.

We transparently explain how the initial Pathway Legal family law consultation works, here.

Wherever you are located in British Columbia, we are divorce lawyers who will be by your side.

Val understands, listens and just gets it. Her knowledge of family law is strong and she has been fighting hard for me. I am in a better place having her represent me throughout a difficult time. I recommend her to anyone needing legal services and direction.
