Family law is the only area Lorrie Stojni practises, as a partner at Giffen Lawyers LLP in Waterloo. Lorrie negotiates separation agreements, including custody, access and child support, and when a case won't settle, litigates it in the Unified Family Court.
Giffen is where Lorrie articled, and Lorrie joined the firm as an associate on being called to the Ontario bar in February 2002, working first in civil litigation. Partnership followed in 2011. Before earning a law degree at the University of Windsor, Lorrie studied political science at Wilfrid Laurier University and went on to a master's in political theory at McMaster University.
Lorrie's work has reached the Court of Appeal for Ontario, where Lorrie and Emily F. Metcalfe acted for the appellant in a 2021 family property appeal. Lorrie also explains family law to a wider audience: CTV's Krista Simpson interviewed Lorrie about why divorce filings rise every January, and host Erin Kiers of 88.7 FM Mount Forest sat down with Lorrie for a conversation about separation and divorce.
Away from work, Lorrie's interests include gardening, reading, socializing and time with family.
