About us

Our team and our values.

Ryan F. Keleher

Principal Lawyer & Mediator

J.D., H.B.A., AccFM (OAFM)

Originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, I attended King’s College in London, Ontario and earned a degree in Management and Human Resources in 2009. I subsequently worked for successful technology and marketing companies in London and Toronto prior to law school.

In 2016, I attained my law degree from the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law in Thunder Bay, Ontario. I practised family law (and some civil litigation) for respected law firms in Northern Ontario before I opened this firm in 2022. Our mission is to make separation less stressful and less expensive. That starts at the operations level.

Our headquarters is in Brantford, Ontario. We run a virtual practice to reduce overhead and maintain competitive hourly rates. We regularly appear in family courts across Ontario, from Kenora to Ottawa. We provide virtual and in-person services as needed to our clients, including mediation.

When you have privacy, please watch this video about our approach to family law. Thank you for your interest.

Our values

Above all, we strive to provide valuable services to our clients.

Our formula for providing value is:

Set expectations

We use our knowledge and experience to assess the facts and law for each case, provide available options, and set reasonable expectations for clients.

Communication style

We are prompt, use plain language, are direct, yet empathetic. We approach each case with curiosity, and advocate in a zealous, but civil manner.

Transparent billing

We want our clients to be comfortable asking about billing so they can accurately calculate the cost/benefit of important decisions for their case.

Empower clients

We have options for clients who cannot pay a lawyer to do every task, wish to rely less on lawyers, or want to resolve their case outside of court.

Focus and drive

We rely on work ethic and our penchant for being strategic, organized, and attentive to detail to deliver good outcomes for our clients.

Self-reflection

We welcome all feedback, tirelessly work to improve service, and will not be satisfied until all separations are less stressful and less expensive.
