What Our Clients Say
Chyanne Sharma is an organized, well-spoken, thoughtful, no-nonsense lawyer who has restored my faith in the legal system.

She was efficient and razor sharp in her research and execution - getting results quickly while reassuring me along the way. She’s affordable, for now, but her talents are deep. I’m certain she’s going to land on the city’s best family lawyer lists any day.
I had the pleasure of working with Zachary Berinstein, and couldn't have be more impressed with his professionalism, expertise, and dedication.
Throughout the process, Zachary demonstrated strong attention to detail, leaving no stone unturned. He was highly responsive, always addressing my concerns or questions promptly, and going above and beyond to keep me informed and updated on the progress of my case.
Zachary’s genuine care for my well-being was evident in every interaction. He treated me with compassion and empathy, which provided a sense of comfort during a particularly stressful time in my life.

Legal and Practical Tips for Living with Your Ex While Separated
If there is one thing we can all agree on, it’s that housing in Vancouver is expensive. While cities outside Vancouver proper might be slightly more affordable, finding a place to make your home is still a big financial stressor for most folks. When it comes to relationships, the rise in housing prices has been linked to a rise in couples moving in together sooner than they would otherwise, often saving on rent or mortgage costs.

Divorce in Canada usually necessitates a one-year separation, with the timeline varying due to factors like asset complexity, parenting disputes, and court schedules.
Family law mediation offers a voluntary, less formal way to resolve disputes like divorce or child custody. A neutral mediator guides the process, facilitating discussions and helping parties work toward a mutually acceptable agreement. The process includes initial meetings, expression of concerns, and drafting a settlement, which can be made legally binding. Mediation is often quicker, less costly, and less stressful than court proceedings, but its suitability varies by case.
