About Ryan Amez

Ryan Amez is a family lawyer at McKenzie Lake Lawyers in London, Ontario, helping people work through separation and divorce. Ending a relationship takes a real emotional toll, and Ryan is committed to guiding clients through the process with patience and compassion, whether the matter goes to litigation or to alternative dispute resolution.

Ryan came to law from the non-profit sector. After finishing a B.A. and an M.A. in the humanities at Queen's University in 2015, Ryan worked as a program lead for non-profits, then went on to a J.D. at Western Law, with studies centred on family law, children's law and alternative dispute resolution. Ryan was called to the Ontario bar in 2020 and joined McKenzie Lake's family law group in January 2022.

Even as a law student, Ryan was helping Londoners. Ryan volunteered with Community Legal Services and the Family Law Project, took part in many advocacy and negotiation competitions, and spent the final year at Western as coordinator of the Family Law Project, assisting London residents who had no access to a private lawyer.

Outside the office, Ryan gives time to local arts groups and non-profits, and spends free hours running long distances, hiking and reading. Ryan is a member of both the Middlesex Law Association and the Middlesex Family Law Association.
