Connect Family Law

I was referred to this firm by a family member and after initial contact, set up with Mahshid Hoseini, to consult in a separation. Mahshid was very knowledgable, empathetic, and responsive. She answered my questions very thoroughly and made sure I was informed throughout the process from initial consults, through to reviewing and signing of my separation agreement. I also appreciated the transparency in regards to cost.I really enjoyed my experience working with her, she offered moments of clarity and support during a difficult time and I would highly recommend her services.

It was my monumental good fortune to encounter and retain Leisha Murphy and Connect Family Law for my family law dispute. I was already nearly three years post-separation when I met Leisha, and my dispute was spiraling rapidly downward. I had already known lawyers who promised to fight for me, by any means. I had known lawyers who were so deep in the mire that they had left behind the basic human ability to distinguish fair from unfair, common sense from twisted logic, deception from veracity.Leisha did not promise to be my hero, but she saved me from all of this just the same. She had the time, mental presence and insight to understand my case, first as a mother and daughter of divorce, next as a lawyer. Together with her team, she had the skill, smarts and experience to guide and direct the preparation of my crates full of documents and keep track of and ordered reference to them all. She was willing to explain the ins-and-outs of the legal process to me, so that the path to the finish line appeared clear and unobstructed to me for the first time. At every step, she also presented the escape route, making sure that I knew the risks and possibilities in litigation and settlement and was not getting in over my head or beyond the limits of a likely positive outcome. Her preparation, balance, and perspective command the attention of judges and masters and her sense of decency and genuine friendliness is a great comfort to her clients even as it leaves the other side exposed.Leisha edited the frustration and bitterness out of my dispute and insisted on taking the high road when I couldn’t tread it. She told me about other cases and interpreted my own case from the other side’s perspective in ways that made my jaw lock and my heart sink, but it kept me from being consumed by my own misfortune. A born negotiator, she would never concede to my insistence that my case was beyond mediating. She scanned the field constantly for opportunities for an out-of-court resolution, and opportunities to reduce my legal costs, all the while remaining utterly prepared to excel in court. You might at first be fooled by her wide smile, but have no doubt: she is tough as nails.

Kaity Cooper came to my rescue, and I am truly grateful. I was much too late requesting her to produce a Marriage Agreement before my marriage. She took care of this task in less than a month, including two drafts and communications with my fiancee’s attorney.She was at all times, pleasant, professional, and very informative about family law.The bottom line: I trust her, and I would hire her for any Family Law issue she was willing to take on.

Leisha Murphy is an amazing family lawyer that I will continue to consult if ever required.In the year prior to hiring Ms. Murphy my previous lawyer was unable to make any headway on my case which added to an already stressful situation and unnecessary expense with no results. Leisha was professional, supportive and quickly removed any doubt about the strength of my case previously instilled by my former lawyer. She was phenomenal in court and the final outcome was 100% in my favour.Thanks to Ms. Murphy, I was able to move on with my life and four years later am the happiest I've been in decades. I would not hesitate to recommend Connect Family Law and Leisha Murphy.

After some long months of getting nowhere with my previous lawyer, I was referred to Connect Family Law by a friend who only had amazing things to say. Now I only have amazing things to say as well. I had Leisha as my divorce lawyer and I got more than what I wanted. She exceeded my expectations. I was so worried with two young kids and a start up business, but not only was she able to communicate with me in a timely manner, she coached me through a lot of it. Super grateful.

I would like to take a moment to recommend Leisha Murphy as your family law lawyer. She was recommended to me by an associate of hers when she was with Farris. She was attentive and you could ask anything. She was firm in her fight" to get what was fair for me and my daughter. We worked together for 4 years. From the first review of my separation agreement to the end when she negotiated my final payment of spousal support. The negotiation of fair child support that will be paid until my daughter finishes school and the continued obligation to pay a % of her post secondary tuition fees and extraordinary expenses. We talked outside of what would be considered office hours because she wanted to make sure that I was good with what was happening. I wish I had known her when I was first separated because that would have been handled with a more attention to detail and my concerns. I cannot say enough good about her. No question would I go back to her if I needed to. She is not only an amazing lawyer but an amazing person as well!!You will love her!!Karen Dyck (Siemens)"

Mahshid is truly one of a kind and compassionate attorney who is a pleasure to work with. She is professional and takes her clients to first priorities when in her work. I am extremely happy with the services provided by this firm and her team. People here are amazing.

Rebecca Stanley was what I can only describe as a lighthouse for me in the stormiest weather I had ever been through. She was always level-headed and professional in our interactions, helped me to set reasonable expectations, responded in a timely fashion, kept my costs within a reasonable amount, validated my emotions and concerns, and was a solid person to have in my corner. I would highly recommend her services, and Connect Family Law

Collaborative Divorce was a concept completely foreign to me and everything I thought I knew about what divorce and separation had to be. My ex-wife and I were not adversarial but equally wanted what was right and fair for each of us without wasting our kids' inheritances on pricey lawyers that had no interest in our family's (even though separated) ultimate wellbeing. Leisha Murphy expertly navigated us through the collaborative divorce process to create a win/win final separation agreement through the power of discussion and guidance using a legal frame work and common sense. Most importantly no court. The process of separation is not easy for anyone but by signing up for the collaborative process it helped me at least keep my emotions in check and find common understanding rather than bitterness, especially with the help of a true guide like Leisha.

Amalia Schön was my lawyer during a difficult and complicated separation. She did a great job and I highly recommend her. She was successful in achieving the results I hoped for. She was able to settle the matter outside of court in a timely and efficient manner. I felt she was very cost effective and she saved me a lot of money in a situation that was heading towards court. She also was quick to respond to any questions I had. I was very satisfied with the outcome and I would go back to her again if I ever had to.
