Broadhurst & Kooy LLP

Jenny Lin helped me through a very challenging period through separation and divorce. She was very professional and clear in the steps I had to go through. I am very happy with the outcome, and would strongly recommend her for any matters dealing with family law.

Michelle Kooy is one of the best. When I originally contacted Michelle for legal advice she was very welcoming. Our journey together spanned 5 years and I am forever grateful for Michelle's ability to help guide me through the legal process but also understand that my emotions were riding very high at times and I needed space to let everything sink in. Michelle is one of the most organized people I have ever met and always had a smile on her face. I had no concept of the legal process and Michelle had a great way of breaking everything down so I knew I was always making the best possible decision for myself and my son.

I've worked with Michelle and Joe over the past decade. They are very knowledgeable and professional in all aspects of family law and their calm demeanour is much-appreciated during the often tumultuous divorce and custody process. Both are extremely practical and down-to-earth, and not looking to create more work than necessary. They are also extremely resourceful and when something is outside of their expertise, go the extra mile to research into it, and if necessary, bring in or refer you to someone else. I was excited when they started up their own firm and like the boutique atmosphere provided by them, while still having the breadth and depth to service you as needed.I would gladly send anyone to Broadhurst & Kooy for any and all of their family legal needs, and if I ever decide to get married again, would certainly be consulting them upfront.

During the often rough times of separation and divorce, Joe's calm professional attitude provided some much needed perspective and grounding. I have been lucky to have Joe as my lawyer for the past few years and was happy to follow him to his new firm to continue working with him.He can explain all angles of any situation to you in understandable terms, which takes the sting out of difficult conversations. Joe is very adept at assisting clients through meditation, and will ensure that your best interests are taken into account before any agreement is signed.I will definitely refer anyone in need of family legal needs to Broadhurst & Kooy.

Michelle Kooy is a brilliant and compassionate individual, understands family law inside/out, highly skilled and an absolutely fabulous negotiator in terms of “keeping things civil” (note: negotiation is what I do for a living, so I can attest to this). I can’t imagine any separation/divorce proceeding being anything less than emotionally draining, but Michelle kept me on point and “held my hand” throughout the process. The paperwork aside, Michelle advised me in terms of when I needed to speak up and when I needed to keep my mouth shut……if I opened my mouth anyway, she helped me get my foot back out of it. I have absolute confidence in recommending Michelle to anyone unfortunate enough to have need of her services.

Michelle and Joe are fantastic lawyers, they worked as a team. Joe was the one who is handling my case. He is an exceptional Lawyer and an empathic human being. Not only, he is a competent lawyer with an in-depth knowledge of family law but also has his client's interest at heart. Joe helped me out at a time when I was struggling with my separation but also with an incompetent lawyer. He was my lifeline when I felt I was drowning. When I first met him, he handled everything from my difficult separation to the dispute with the other lawyer. He released me from a huge weight. I'm a francophone and my English is not perfect so he would always make the effort to talk to me in french so I could understand the important information. I consider him a part of my family.Thank you to Joe and his devoted team for resolving my separation and for always treating me like a human being. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Joe was both professional, and understanding during a very difficult and acrimonious divorce. Joe and his team helped me every step of the way. When I said I wanted an end to it all, he took it over andmanaged to resolve it so that no one could ever use the court system to coerce and intimidate me again.What I am grateful for is how Joe and his team went to work for me. I finally felt a huge sense of relief,and highly recommend Joe, and his team.Forever gratefulRita Anderson

Jenny was very patient and kind when I told her what I wanted to do. She really took the time to understand all my needs and made thoughtful suggestions where needed, I really appreciated her professional insight. I was not hesitant to speak up or ask questions at all, she was personable and answered my questions thoroughly, making sure I understood. I would recommend Jenny to anyone!

I hired Joe Broadhurst to help me resolve issues with parenting time and child support as well as a move to another province. He was excellent as was his team including Jenny Lin and Aman Gill. They were professional, responded in a timely manner to my questions, provided sage and sound legal advice, and kept me in the loop on the issues and process. Joe kept an eye on my costs and helped to remind me to consider the big picture in terms of getting to a resolution. I was super impressed and happy to have him and his team on my side throughout the process and would highly recommend him and his team.
