Family LawFamily LawAbout Elizabeth Jacob
Elizabeth Jacob is a family lawyer at Gelman & Associates, and child protection matters are part of that work. Clients get someone who's appeared in both the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice, and who's also guided people to resolutions outside the courtroom through mediation, arbitration and other settlement processes. Elizabeth sits on Legal Aid Ontario's panel of lawyers as well.
The pull toward this field started early. As a teenager, Elizabeth volunteered at a Brampton family law firm, went on to work there and spent time as a family law assistant, and that experience made the career choice clear. Law school followed in England, at the University of Leeds, where Elizabeth graduated with First Class standing in the top 10% of the class. Back in Canada, Elizabeth articled with a family law firm in Mississauga and was called to the bar in January 2019.
Family law is the only area Elizabeth has practised since then, a path that included a small family law firm in Brampton and Dhillon Law P.C. Elizabeth also has professional training on narcissism and narcissistic abuse.
Elizabeth speaks Hindi, Urdu and Malayalam and is now studying Japanese, part of a wider love of travel and picking up new languages. Away from work, there's a good chance you'll find Elizabeth out on a long hike with Winston, a border collie puppy, or teaching the dog some new tricks.
