Kimberly Whaley in Office

We offer mediation while acting both as mediators in such issues, as well as counsel facilitating resolution for our own clients by means of mediated settlement and other means of alternative dispute resolution.

We act as Section 3 counsel under the Substitute Decisions Act providing advice pursuant to a Court Appointment.

We act as agents to solicitors in agency retainers.

Issues of undue influence, capacity, fraud, forgery, suspicious circumstances, and the wrongful depletion of assets frequently arise in this practice area. Concepts of alienation and sequestering are also one's which are prevalent. We assist clients in navigating these very difficult and emotional issues and concepts.
