Choosing the Right Legal Team in BC

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. 

Each consultation is booked for a full 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. By the end of your initial consultation, you walk out with a plan and strategy and a clear idea of what to do next.

Each Pathway Legal divorce lawyer is committed to dispute resolution and to avoiding court whenever possible. They are also well-prepared and trained to attend court when 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. Select your divorce lawyer of choice above.

• The initial consultation fee for our associates is $395 (plus applicable taxes), totaling $442.40.
• The ongoing fee for our associates is also $395 (plus applicable taxes), totaling $442.40.
  
• Associate lawyers also help clients on a flat fee basis in certain circumstances (ie. if you have reached an agreement and you want a lawyer to draft you legally binding separation agreement, give you independent legal advice on an agreement that was provided for you, or if you want assistance in getting your divorce order finalized.

The Pathway Legal Associate divorce lawyers are closely mentored in both a team and one-on-one environment with Pathway Legal's founder, Val Hemminger.

To work at Pathway Legal, all our family law lawyers are committed to delivering Pathway Legal's Promises to our clients.
